Well, after my horrible situation with all of my cars, including two blown motors in a week, this funny thing happened to me. I was driving around to a restaurant with my girlfriend a couple of nights ago in my RX-7, my last car that runs. I had begun to deliver one of my customary rants about how I was tired of cars and had lost my passion for them entirely due to all of this nonsense I've been going through with them. We finally arrive at the place, and I finish with the line "I'd even rather drive my mom's SUV than this car because I KNOW something is gonna happen to it eventually." Then I proceed to attempt to parallel park. Just 20 seconds later, my steering wheel starts to shake, and I lose my power steering. Then the check engine light comes on. Literally, right afterwards. I drive the car back after dinner and discover that my power steering pump pulley has sheared itself off!!! Also, the belt is connected to my A/C so I have no cold air in the car, and turning the wheel is a bitch. Well, at least it still drives. Haha.
