You have got the be f***ing KIDDING me.

[ViperGTS]

So, I am notorious for having car troubles whenever there is a tickling event I am attending. At Bella's Bash last year, a caliper bolt in my front right brake decided to split in two. At NEST 09, another brake issue got myself, Sapphire, and fireguardian stuck out in the rain while we called for someone to come pick us up (along with just about ALL of the food for the event).

This NHLee is no different.

I sold my truck because it was a money pit, and Sapphire and I have been relying on her Pontiac Sunfire. But this morning, as I made a left turn on the way to take her to work, a nasty groaning sound started reverberating through the come, seemingly coming from the left front wheel. It even made the steering column vibrate. So, on Thursday evening, I will be dropping the car off at the local shop to get looked at for the weekend.

Fortunately, my boss has already promised to let me borrow his turbocharged convertible for the vacation, so at least this doesn't effect our NHLee plans at all.

WHY ME?!

Three words: Cash for Clunkers. (go before time runs out)

Beleive me, if I still had the Envoy, I would. But I had to sell it to help fund my move.

I think Jesus is trying to tell you something.

Viper, I think it's time for you to start riding a bike or a horse, whichever you prever! Cars just don't seem to like you! 🙂

Yes......that Sapphire should do all of the driving........... 😛

 

[Homer28]

I thought you were getting a Dodge Caliber?

 

[rhiannon]

Caliber sucks. Get an Avenger. 🙂

 

[Miss Serendipity]

Darn Gremlins! (seriously though that is some bad luck) Hope its not too bad whatever turns up wrong with it

 

[ViperGTS]

Well now I am not being lent the convertible (boss fucking squelched on his promise) so we're just hoping the car makes it there and back.

Dude, you have the worst frickin' luck with cars! I don't even know why we call you "Viper" anymore... Perhaps "Jalopy" would be better. 😛 😉

Seriously, though -- FG and I are flying, but get in contact with the folks driving from the local area and see if you can hook up and caravan. We want to see everybody there as soon as possible, but there's safety in numbers, bro.

See y'all soon.

wishing you the best of luck..sending protetive vibes your way.

 

[BlackestLily]

Viper, I think it's time for you to start riding...a horse...

Yeah, you could get a 1 horsepower supercharged mustang!

 

[LeeAllure]

Totally agree on the Hondas. And if all else fails, you can pick up my 1996 Saturn with 237,000 miles on it which only need a f ew things 😉 At least it was very reliable!

A sound like that might be the CV joint. Not the end of the world (and with the right tools,
you could change it yourself) but sucks none the less!

Hope to see you up here !

I heard about this through Sapphire yesterday. You really do have the worst luck. Stop beating up your cars. haha they don't like it when you take out your frustrations on them. So any word on what's going to happen? I really hope you guys can still make it.

DAMMIT I am nothing but nice to my vehicles! Yeah the inside may get trashed a bit from food on the run thanks to the mobile nature of my career, but I take damn good care of my vehicles. Shit happens sometimes.

BTW, I went to the local auto parts store and snatched up some power steering fluid and topped it off - then I actually tried to get it to do it again and it wouldn't do it, so I am pretty confident that there was just some air in the PS fluid and I just needed to bleed it out, which I did. NEW HAMPSHIRE HERE WE COME.

PS. You know, until this time last year, I didn't know that CT was spelled "Connect - i - cut." I thought it was "Connet-i-cut"...who knew?

PPS. *looks at fireguardian's signature* Heehehe, boobies.
