(no subject)
So the Beastman finally took a massive crap on me. I was having a shisty day yesterday--Josh and I got in a massive fight but made up, so I was supposed to go hang out with Adam after I got off work at 8. So I leave work, having just been paid 80 dollars, and was like, "Hey, I'm really sick of my mom having to give me gas money, so I will fill up my tank." (Note that I have only filled my tank TWICE before this.) So I stop at Thortons, spend half of my paycheck, and get ready to go...start the car...put it in drive...and it dies.
What the fuck?! Not okay. So we try to start it again. No. The engine just cranks, doesn't turn over. So I try it again. The gas station attendant tries it like three times. Some random kid who overheard my plight got his older brother, who is pretty good on cars, to come over to the gas station. Mind you, my phone is dead, so I could only call my parents from the phone in the building. (I don't know anyone else's numbers.) So he arrives, and it starts raining. He pokes around at my car and decides it's probably the distributor, since there's no spark to the engine or somethin. That sucks.
They help me put the car in neutral and push it into a parking spot. (Holy shit is a car hard to turn without power steering!!!) I was waiting for my parents to come, rocking back and forth (as I normally do) when an older gentleman saw me and asked if I was okay. Naturally I loled but told him what was up, he said he would go to his house down the street, get some tools, and work on my car.
So my parents came. And the dude came back. And he took off the distributor, figured the timing belt was okay, and saw there was corrosion in the distributor. Apparently, that's the one part of the car that has to be totally dry, so of course it is nonstop raining. He scraped off the corrosion and then we lost this very important spring...of course. So we had to make a new one all ghetto out of a pen spring. Which we almost lost. Finally we put it back on....and the car still wouldn't start!!
Now I don't know much about cars but he pulled out these plugs from the engine. There was oil on all of them. He said there should be none, it should be dry, and it's possible that when the distributor fucked up, so did something else very important and I might need a new motor. So my car is still sitting at Thorton's. I give up. My life sucks.
I didn't even get home until 2 hours after I got off work. Half of my paycheck gone for nothing. And Josh and Adam blew the fuck up out of my phone. That car is very important. It's my lifeline to everywhere.
So what should I do? :(
