I must've been Judas in a past life...
I have never had a week this bad...ever.
Tuesday my truck dies...due to a lack of fuel, possibly, fuel filter.
Cool, fifteen minutes fix.
This was at night, so after an asshole of a night attendant and a daring and daunting dash home, I get there.
I spend the night at Leeanna's she drives me to work, Lee picks me up...Auto Zone, fuel filter, fine.
Now I begin working on this...at 2:30...at 8:30, I give up.
Call off the next day to fix it.
Cost tally thus far
Fuel Filter: 8.00
Lost Pay: 92.00
Anyways, find out need special tool to remove Ford Filter...well buy the tool
Tool: 8.00
Tool breaks, still stuck...so now I am pissed, and have spent six hours working on it
I drive down 41 to Home Depot...barely making it, to buy metal snips, to cut the fucker off.
On the way back, I break down, in the middle of 41...at 4:00 PM.
Car won't even click now, what the fuck is wrong!?
Cop comes helps me push it off the road,
the Lee comes helps me push it into the Longhorn Steakhouse parking lot.
I cut the filter
I put the new filter on...
backwards.
Take it off,
Gas pours...no, shoots, all over my face as fire ants raid my legs and abdomen
Gas in my eyes, no big deal, got the fuel filter on...
Car still won't click.
Leeanna comes, Lee leaves
I try to fix for roughly 20 mins.
Call Gino, he says its the Solenoid (pronounced sillUGHnoid)
So, bang on that...usually works.
Doesn't.
We go eat dinner at Gino's
Gino then drives up there, and tows me back to my apartment.
Now I buy a Solenoid...
Solenoid:9.00
Its too dark and I am too angry to do it, so I now call of again.
I think i can fix this and go to work late.
WRONG! Its not the solenoid, its the whole Starter, apparently the starter overheated and melted the wires.
Greeaaat...
So now I missed another day.
For nothing.
Anyways, now i am spending the night with Leeanna, again, optimistic, that now i know what is wrong.
Then We are driving to work...
The window is misty, and like a fucking idiot, I didn't roll it down. And camaro's have like six inches of visibility anyways,....we pull out onto Pondella,
And, A FUCKING CEMENT TRUCK is barreling towards us
I yell cement truck, Leeanna's cat like reflexes saved my life, had she not swerved or braked five seconds later...the truck would've hit me dead on...instead, it hit the front of her car spinning us like a top off the road...my head hit the window, I was deaf for fourty five seconds, I saw Leeanna screaming, and then the sound came back.
After all the drama died, I drove her car back to her house...its in bad shape.
I felt so bad for her then.
I went to work...pains alll over my body.
Then, get home
Three hours putting on a starter, cursing yelling and throwing tools.
I get it on...truck starts
I take shower
I am driving toward Auto Zone to get my 30 dollar core charge back on the old starter,
when it starts sputtering again...the original problem.
But it doesn't die...no worries.
I get about a mile away...it dies.
Then the start, die scenario continues...all the way back across 41, until about 200 yds from the light to turn to my house, and it dies...permanently.
Lee comes back tows me with Jumper Cables, and now I am at home.
I have to go the hospital tomorrow, to get my internal pains checked
I have no insurance so I will get a full bill to pay.
Plus take another day off
another 92.oo dollars
Plus, probably a fuel pump 100+ dollars
or an oxygen senosor (unlikely)
Total cost:299+
I think I want to die.
I love Leeanna
ciao
