I guess it's now my turn to get the short end...
Well, I've made helpful suggestions and tried to give advice, so now I'm gonna take my turn and ask the same from you guys...
So, let's paint the picture: me, sick and sore throat, bare foot and in sleep pants. Just dropped my room mate off at work. Headed back home, half way there, take a right turn and then BANG, skid, no movement. Great, I have a flat tire (or so I thought). Try and turn the wheel, limp it out of the way, no go. Skip a bunch of crap, a cop and tow truck later, the mechanic shop I go to is talk $700-$1000 to get it fixed. I paid $650 for the thing, and what broke isn't what we thought was wrong with it! The ball joint has come out, leaked out all of our power steering fluid and may need the axel support strut replaced if the hole hasn't been bored out too much.
That's not even the best part. So I tell the shop, I can't do it, and then the tow guy says "well, I need to be paid right now". Great, I don't have the 130 for the tow he wants to charge when the tow place across the street from the mechanic runs 80 (which I've had to use
Before! POS).
So, now, I have to give him my car because I cant pay to fix it, and I don't have the money to pay for it (my insurance makes me pay for it first, and then reimburses me, worst idea ever). So, currently I'm sitting at a car wash (the irony!) waiting on a friend of my wife's to give me a ride to clean everything out of my car so he can have it.
On top of that, I'm having terrible reception on my iPhone (OF ALL THINGS!) and my day just couldn't get any better. Gotta find a way to work for tomorrow, and then some how get home (which I live half way across town) and then try and get enough money to get something to drive (thankfully I don't work this weekend).
This just blows, I wish cars were free.
Oh, and to top everything off, I might get 210 this pay check if I'm able to even make it to work tomorrow and friday. Because I've been sick, I've had to call in. :/
