The Never-ending Adventures of a Chrysler Sebring Convertible

Jan 28, 2009 19:01

So, on Saturday I rolled down my window to wave at my friend's dorm room. However, to my dismay, the motor on the window just did not have enough force to push the window back up. This has done this to an extent before, like, slowing/stopping as it is rolling up, but I always close it again. This time it decided that would not be the case. So after a few hours of a freezing cold car, it was just getting colder and we had had enough. So, away we went to Stop N' Shop and got a clear shower curtain and duct tape. After the purchase we realized I already had packaging tape in my car, which turned out to be better. Anyways, right there in the handicapped spot we fixed up the window. But the shower curtain was not really see thru. So we cut away holes and patched them with packaging tape. Still, it was too dangerous to drive, especially on route 1. So my dad came and got the car and next day fixed the window. He devised a flawless plan to never have this happen again. He placed a plastic cup in the door so the window could no longer roll down all the way so I can grab it if the motor decides to crap out.

So, to go on top of that on Monday night I filled my tank with gas, and then attempted to round up to the nearest dollar. However, I put the pump back and closed up my gas cap. To my dismay I look down and see a puddle. Yep, the gas tank leaked out like, half a gallon. I have never heard of that happening. Anyways, my dad said just turn on the car and drive away. I was concerned but did it anyways. I was fine, I drove it home, and have yet to see any problem (my dad also checked it.)

And now, I attempted to get around my driveway and turned too quickly to the right around the circle and ended up in the snow. Oh well, get a shovel, dig out a little. Nope! Not this car! So the shoveling started and what did we hit but a tree stump. Yep, there my car is, stuck on a tree stump, right behind the driver's wheel. To complete my car issues just this thing had to happen. So, my dad did not want to deal with it today and tells me for a few days I will not have my car. Quite good, indeed. I do have my minivan, but it is not warm at all and needs to warm up like 10 minutes before it will even more. So this sucks.

CHRYSLER SEBRING, AWAY!!!!
