Found On Road Dead

Published by Kirsten at 7:47 pm under Car, Grrr

I am really pissed off right now. Actually, not pissed so much as I am sweaty. See, Boyfriend and I went out to dinner tonite, just down the street to Panera. We drove my car, which turned over after a few clicks of the engine, just as it had been doing ever since I picked it up Friday evening. Yeah, with a brand new starter it will click a few times before it catches - on a car that has only 29,500 miles on it!!! Well, tonite, after being at Panera for about 30-40 minutes, we went outside to the car so we could get in it and drive home. We got in the car, turned the key, it clicked a few times, then nothing. Boyfriend looked under the hood, and I tried the key a few more times, and nothing. So we walked home, which was only about 1/2 mile, but I was wearing shoes with a 2″ heel and he’s really starting to feel crappy.

Tomorrow I’m going to take his 1993 Ford pickup truck with 161,000 miles on it that runs pretty darn good to work, and when Ford Country opens I’ll call up my BFF Bill and his Sidekick Steve and have a little chat with them. In the past 3 weeks my car has had a complete transmission rebuild (which, btw, is so not shifting properly now), a new starter, a new radio that I don’t even know if it works properly yet because I haven’t had a chance to try it out, and a simple a/c problem that they are claiming isn’t covered under warranty because of an aftermarket part and previous work. Those bitches are going down!

    Get ‘em good. Auto mechanics have recurring nightmares about female cutomers with automobiles that have chronic problems.
