My car committed suicide
Jun. 4th, 2003 03:49 pmMy car committed suicide.
See, the transmission was broke and we were getting it fixed. Actually, the transmission was broke AGAIN and we were getting it fixed. It sat at the garage for about two weeks waiting for the transmission to come in. It got fixed today. The mechanic drove it out into the lot to warm it up. Then he went in to call me and tell me that it was done.
When he looked out, the car was on fire.
Yep. My car now is nothing more than a large lump of melted junk. Newly repaired and rather expensive melted junk.
I'm heading off to go look at it now. And see if there is anything in the trunk that is salvageable.
My life is way to interesting sometimes.
More later.

OK, here's a little more on the car. *sigh* I think I'll end up paying $400 for the work (about half the total cost of the repair) and I have a burnt wreck to call my own. Oh well. Only money. I have until fall until I desperately need another car, so we can wait.
No one got hurt. It could have been bad if we would have been in the car. The garage had water hoses and put it out before it hit the gas tank (or the fuel for the cookstove that Wil had bought the day the car died and we had left in the trunk). No one was hurt. And even if we would have had comprehensive on the car the deductible would have been $500, and what would have the insurance company pay for a 17-year-old Tempo anyhow?
That only thing that really sucks about this is that we just did the damn repairs.
Better the car tho, than one of us being hurt or the like. And we can make the money work. Won't like it but we can do it.
On to the real reason for the post:
You excel at Transfiguration. One of the most
dificult classes, you seem to be a natural at
turning a coke bottle into a homework pass.

Transfiguration? Not at all the class I would have expected. But fun, nonetheless.
Which Doctor Who are you?
