Last night I was supposed to pick up my dad after babysitting and lately I have been stealing my mom's cell phone cause mine doesn't have a whole lot of minutes on it (2 to be exact) it irritates my mom but I don't want to drive my car without a way to call someone... cause when I got in the accident off of SR-500 we had to use the paramedics cell phone so I could get a hold of someone to call to pick my dad and I up... but anyway back to last night, Last night I was supposed to pick my dad up after babysitting and for the past few days I have noticed my clutch getting a little stiff, my dad and I thought that we just needed to put Wd-40 on it but that wasn't the case cause on the way to pick my dad up on 58th st my clutch went out... at first I was just having problems getting it into gear I had to force it into gear just to go around the block... I thought that maybe it was just kinda like a faze so I turned off of 58th just to drive around a block and it got worse and I noticed that my clutch was getting rougher so I decided to just drive home, by that time it was nearly impossible to shift so I ended up driving home in second down 58th it was pretty bad I was doing 20 mph down a road that everyone does 30-40 through. By the time I got home I couldn't shift at all and I coasted at like 3 mph in the driveway... My car is stuck at the end of the driveway right now if it were any further out we'd have to push it up my drive a little because it would be blocking the road... and Sunday we'll probably borrow Jana's jeep so we can push my car into the garage cause the driveway is to steep to push it ourselves. We'll have to get an old tire to put between the cars so neither gets scratched... So I won't be driving my car for a couple of weeks and have to use the truck now... I love that truck it's so fun to drive but I hate having my driving reduced... Diesels are such fuel hogs it's disgusting... although diesels get pretty good gas mileage for a bigger truck I still hate it being so much money and being reduced in driving.... I could scream!!!
But in the end it was kinda funny cause mom didn't even bother asking me if I had picked dad up... she just went up there and dad wasn't even at his work, he was at Starbucks of of Mill Plain and had to go running after her down the street when he saw her drive past... It was great hearing about it...
