Car
So, my car decided to freak out on my on Saturday. I was freaking out because my car was freaking out. My mom was not too happy with me. As you know, I am not so good with telling stories, so I will give you the rundown. I was stopped at a red light and all of a sudden the car just kind of tried to jump ahead 3 times, and pushing the brake harder stopped that. Then I went to Ace to get what I needed, which was not even a half a mile down the road. I get back in the car, and at that same red light my car starts freaking out. The car starts shuddering and the check light starts blinking. I am about 4 1/2 miles from home. The car is idling hard at the stop lights between the house and where I am at and it's just crazy. The car rides fine when it was up to speed, but when first starting it would shudder so hard that I was afraid it would blow up. So, I made it home safely, I was SO happy about that. Dad was working and doesn't get home until midnight on Saturdays and Sundays so I was like freaking out that I was going to cost my parents a million dollars and all that. I was just really nervous.
So, yesterday, mom and dad take the car over to the car place to get it diagnosed and it was the spark plug wires not working properly. Because they weren't working, the 4th cylinder wasn't firing, so bad idea car. The car was literally freaking out. Bottom line, it cost 50 dollars to fix, so good deal. And, the rough idle that has been going on for like a year is gone, so good deal. My car is as good as new, and I'm happy. My mom was going to give me her car, then get a new car, but I've been driving a compact since I started driving really, so it is HUGE to me and I don't like it. But any car was better than no car at all, so yea.
In other news, there is no other news. I had fall break the past weekend and was bored, but got a lot of work done on my art project for my friends wedding, so that's good.
