filled up the gas tank with $5 I don't have and returned to the car to pick Drew up at school, with John waiting for us back at Denny's. Continuing with its current trend my car refused to start. Ack! 12 at night no one around, Drew waiting in the cold, and John waiting in the Denny's--Lord help me! I think his name was Shawn. He was a big guy with a shaved had and an intimidating tatoo on his right forearm but he had jumper cables so he was an answer to prayer. Good conversation which was only slightly deterred by the roar of my little Dodge colt running beautifully without the exhaust pipe we pulled off last weekend. Ex-Simpsonite, good for him. (And good for me in 2.5 weeks!).
Pull out of the gas station, rush to make up the half an hour I lost trying to start my car, and low and behold a police car is waiting in the shadows. I was speeding, but more than that, my headlight is still out. If I had $10 for every time I get pulled over for that headlight I'd have my deposit for SPU. I can't help but laugh though, cause honestly--is this really happening, it's too ridiculous to be true. $10-fix-it ticket for the headlight and I'm on my way again. "But that's not all I have for you tonight," says my dear Colt, "you're staying with me!" I have no idea what got my seatbelt stuck but I had to maneuver my way out of it, cause it wasn't coming off. And "maneuvering" is a lot harder when you're caught in a bout of uncontrollable laughter with Drew.
Questions:
If the seatbelt is stuck closed do I risk the accident where the car blows up by slipping in and out of it everytime I drive...or risk the accident where I fly through the window by leaving it off?
How much could a headlight really cost?
What exactly do exhaust pipes do anyway?...I mean do I really need it?
My battery is like, perpetually dead--get it checked out or wait two weeks for my dad to deal with it?
