a little story to tell.....

[dotcom173]

i would like to discuss my friday....yesterday.

i came home from my friends house, and i guess i locked myself out...i drove my moms car and she doesnt have a house key on the keychain. so, my neighbors helped me break in through a window. this is the first time ive ever actually locked myself out.

then, since i rarely ever drive my moms car, i was telling myself the whole day that i was gonna get in an accident the one day im driving her car. i just turned 18 and have never been pulled over or gotten in an accident. sooo, i was literally driving 1 minute down the street to a liquor store and while i was at a red left turn light, a car comes barreling around the corner at about 50mph and smashes into me. i watched the whole thing happen. the guy got out of the car, and looked like he was 25 or so years old, but i guess he was 16 and JUST got his license and a brand new car earlier this month. not too much damage, broke off my mirror and scraped the side a little. i wouldnt have given a crap if i was driving my car, since it sucks. and on top of this, my parents are out of town, so it was weird.

im prettty sure theres something else bad that happened yesterday, but for some reason i cant remember it.....ya...first accident happened on one of the rare occasions im driving my moms car (maybe 15 times a year....for an hour or so each time)

Summary:

locked myself out of house, parents out of town
got in a car accident in my moms car
something else, but i cant remember

Wow, that sucks, why were you driving your mom's car? Did you get a police report on the accident?

 

[xanis]

That sucks. Tomorrow should be better... hopefully.

umm, its been really hot here lately, and the AC in my car broke. plus, her car is just more comfortable. ya, i guess the other kid was very cooperative and admitted everything. he was kind of an idiot. he pissed me off a little when he got out of the car and smiled....like it was all a big joke. and i did get a police report. it all worked out smoothly, thank god.

I thought one had to be 21 years of age or older to be in a liquor store?

On Thursday I lost two deals I thought I had wrapped up.

So I decided to take a nap. Apaprently there was a domestic dispute at the house next to mine and someone called the cops. Whoever called the cops pointed at the wrong house (mine) so in the middle of my nap I hear *BANG BANG BANG* OPEN THE DOOR! POLICE!

Me: Zzzzz... Huh?

In the time it took for me to get up and wander to the front door the cops had opened it. I came around the corner (totally in outer space from the nap) and there was a cop, gun drawn, fixed right on me. They did apologize when they realized what happened.

So after that I decided to take my dog to the beach where he got attacked by two other dogs. He got his ass kicked pretty good but no blood.

Cliffs:
1. Lost two deals
2. Had a gun pointed at me
3. Dog got attacked

that story is pretty intense..


something like that happened to my friends. a cop pointed a gun at them, because they matched the identity of two other guys. so, i guess my friends were looking around all confused, trying to figure out if the cop was pointing at them, or someone behind them. i guess this took place outside of a mall or gas station by a mall. ya so, in the end the cop called them idiots for acting dumb when a gun was pointed at them.

no, at least not in california.....liquor stores sell everything from magazines to milk....to eggs and stuff. u only have to be 21 to buy alcohol....obviously, not to be in the store. its kinda like a mini Savon Drugs or CVS, or a large gas station store.

well....i now have something to add to my list.....so maybe not. i got pulled over today, (well, my dad actually) for crossing a set of two yellow lines on the freeway, because it went from 2 pairs, to one pair, and we've always been confused about when u can cross and when u cant. the cop was a dick, even they we didnt give him problems....nice little ticket to show for it. cop said that even a single solid yellow is illegal to cross. although this doesnt affect me, its still something to add.

Not that I'm trying to hijack your thread or anything...

Your dad gets a ticket... Gun in my face... Your dad gets a ticket... Gun in my face...

Hmmm

not to sound like a dick, but i really wouldnt care if there was a gun pointed at me, as long as its by the cops. they wont shoot u, no matter what u did, as long as u dont screw it up while theres a gun on u. just sit still until they figure it out, and u wont get shot....i actually see that as a funny/exciting story to tell to ur kids or whoever.

WoW! You know those people always talked about on the forums that don't know how to drive? Your dad's one of 'um.

You gotta lot to learn, and you do sound like a dick.

 

[dotcom173]

thanks man...greatly appreciated, i guess.

umm, i really didnt mean to sound like a dick. his day sounded ridiculously bad...thats why i made this thread. i didnt make it so that i could get sympathy or w/e from everyone. i made it to share my day and hope to hear of others. my dad is a pretty good driver...hes really good at avoiding accidents and stuff. however, hes like 56 or something and i think he has alzheimer's. he looks like an idiot when he does simple stuff, just because he gets confused and forgets. hes senile....or he probably will be.

My day:

Went out to change the driveshafts on my Prelude, since I'll need it when the other car is in for bodywork, and the axles are so bad I'm worrying that the wheels will fall off. I've had the replacement axles for about a year now, but never got around to doing them, so I figured it was about time anyway.

I lug all of my tools upstairs, and begin working. First snag - I couldn't break an axle nut loose. I had to go to Home Depot and buy 3 lengths of pipe + 2 couplers (42" of pipe) to slip over the breaker bar on the nut. Ended up destroying both ends of one of the pipes (they snapped out of the threaded coupler??!!), but I finally got it out, after much jumping on it and hammering.

Jacked car up, removed the passenger side wheel...and WTF, my coil spring on that side is BROKEN. Snapped completely through on the 2nd coil from the bottom. Note to self - replace springs ASAP.

Everything else goes more or less OK until I get to removing the lower arm from the ball joint. Put my 3-jaw puller on there...one of the puller pawls breaks off of the crap HF puller. So, I need to go to Advance and rent theirs...but rather than leave all my tools and stuff out, I decide to store it all in the car and lock it. I pull up the trunk mat, just for grins...and find 3" of standing water in the spare tire well. I guess my trunk leak is worse than I thought. Lovely.

I'm almost afraid to do anything else...I don't want to know what other horrors await me in this thing.

 

[dotcom173]

Black88GTA, dude that sucks. i kinda know how ur feeling. u dont even want to look, because the more u investigate, the lighter ur wallet gets.

its kinda like that with my old accord....so we dont even bother looking anymore...we're just waiting till it dies and its a new 07 Si for me! (if i have the cash)
