Back from con and OMG RADIATOR!!!

Apr 11, 2011 19:20

I'm back from the convention.

I had to work this morning, and it was raining and there was lightning (/Dio). I couldn't see the road and I went off the road and bottomed out my car and hit the edge of the road/curb/something with the bottom of the car. It dented my radiator and I only got a mile before my car was out of coolant.

We'll see how much of my leg I have to saw off for this shit.

Update:
Ended up being $450. Luckly it didn't destroy the AC grill or I'd have to replace half the AC system, which would be over $1000. Or just tell them 'fuck it, I don't need AC. This. Is. Michigan!'

They had to replace a body bracket that the radiator sat on ($50), the radiator itself ($100), and bend back a bunch of tubes and metal because apparently the entire radiator and a bunch of shit got bent backwards.

The labor was the most expensive part of it.

And I found what I hit. Some kind of concrete square thing around the entrance to a drain pipe.

convention, car problems, auto repair
