Fucking car.  I got in my car after work yesterday, put my foot on the clutch and BAM it hit the floor.  No resistance at all.  My clutch is gone.  Also, the car was stuck in Reverse.  At least my tow truck driver was nice and he got there quick.  So, after this I should have replaced all the vital parts in my car...

 Wow.  What a week.  And it's not even over yet.  The car is fixed.  Wednesday after a pleasant ride home on the bus I called AAA.  When they came I told the guy I was almost positive I didn't leave anything on to run the battery down.  Despite that he discovered the battery was completely devoid of power and gave me a jump.  It started right up ( Read more... )
