WTF HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK!!!!
Let me start by saying woot midterms are over. WOOT!!!
Well I was driving Olivia and David home today cause they had second exam and so did i, but not matt. So i drove them (now my car has always made some noises on left turns, knocking and thumping and such but WOW no clue this was going to happen.)
So any way on the corner of 17 and meeting house (a left turn) i took it like normal but when the clunking started there is this GIGANTIC thump and the car jolts up ad down and i see a TIRE yes a TIRE go rolling down the road and I’m like WTF WAS THAT!!!! so i get off 17 fast and park to check wtf was up. THE TIRE POPED RIGHT OFF!!!!! four of the five lug nuts (wow i cant spell car terms) broke right off, that’s right BROKE right off!!!!
so i go around and check the damage and make sure people are ok. Then i call my dad cause i don’t have a triple A card wow i really need one cause of the whole fact that my car is the oldest, most worked on and over all worst (i love my car so much... no sarcasm REALLY) but so i call my dad and this is the conversation;
"umm hey dad you know those thumping noises my car makes on left turns?"
"ya"
"um well this was a really big thump"
"what!?"
"umm the tire came off"
"!?!?!?!?!!!!! .... ill be there in a min"
so it took him like half an hour to get to the scene. i live thirty minutes away how does it take thirty to get there!
while my dad was getting there i called matt to have him pick up olivia and david since it was clear that i couldn’t drive them home. Oh and while i was waiting david went to go retrieve the tire that came off. He said it was really far away, oh well. like ten cars stopped to ask to help or if we were ok but i said we were fine every time.
So when my dad gets there we call triple A and they say "some one will be there in a few minutes" well they also said that they couldn’t tow any thing with a plow on it!!!! WTF!!!!! so we (me and my dad) try to get the tire that fell off back on with the one remaining lug nut. we got it back on with the nut my dad found in the road and the jack and tire iron in my trunk. so we start work on getting the plow off because of the god damn "company policy" so we almost have it off but there is one very stubborn side that wont come off so the driver doesn’t even try to help get it off! bastared! eventually (after bout ten minutes) we got it off and guess who i see. none other than matt driving Michy and olivia *wave franticly* so i know they're doing something so i start trying to think of a way to get out of this.
the driver helps us get the plow off the road and on the side so it wont be an obstruction to traffic... we finally get my car on the truck and i ask dad if i can go to Matt’s cause we have nothing better to do, i mean after this all we would do is show the guy what auto shop we want it to go to and then go home. so i walk up to Matt’s, cause i had no mode of transportation. on the walk up i had a though, what if they went some where to eat or do stuff. OH NO I HAD NO RIDE AND IM STRANDED!!!! but luckily that wasn’t the case. woot!
so i walk right in like i always do and i find that all they were doing was trying to figure out what to do... were they trying to figure that out for the thirty minutes since i saw them? i don’t know.
by some miracle we decide to go out to eat. wow that was a fast decision!
kind of normal while we ate, normal jokes and what not.
bow chicka bow wow (wtf was that lol)
so we ate and ate and i was still hungry but what ever. and this was the pathetic part (looking back on it this must have sounded really weird to this guy) we come up on the site of the.. umm... accident? and there was this guy looking at the plow wow so matt pulls up to him and i roll down my window and say in a normal voice "you know this is my plow right" (how the hell would he know?) but i said it and he was like no i had no idea. he thought it was for sale or something i don’t really care but my attitude was well i stopped him from stealing it but what’s next someone else could just as easily do the same! so that same guy followed Matt’s back to his house and says "i have some plow mounts we could try to put it on them and bring it up here" so every body is like yay I’ve always said that u can always depend in the kindness of strangers (clichéd i know but true)
sadly when we get down there his plow mounts don’t fit so every body just waits by my plow and thanks him for trying. at least twenty cars must have gone by that didn’t stop and hundreds that just looked back and was like wtf why are four kids standing by a plow in the cold?
we just stood there not doing any thing trying to think of what we could do to get the plow to Matt’s house. we had some decent ideas but none seemed like they would work Michy eventually called her dad to try and see if we could use her families new truck or van. no luck, isn’t that my luck. but then we decided to try Matt’s van, i thought there was no possible way that it would fit but maybe there was some chance.
matt spent like a half hour trying to take the seat out. wow just leave us standing here in the cold. to pass the time we would mock the cars going by that didn’t stop like THANKS FOR NOTHING and so on getting worse than that but you get the idea. and i so predicted that right when matt got here a pick up would stop and try to help. so matt gets there and low and behold A TRUCK! but this guy comes out with a cigarette in his mouth and doesn’t offer to help by using his truck he suggests helping get the plow in the van wow it would have been so much easier to put it in his truck but beggars can be choosers help is help.
after a lot of effort and a lot of annoyance we got it in there, not all the way but enough. yay. oh and that guy was a real jack ass he kind of dismissed the fact that the girls could help in any was what so ever JACK ASS!! i repeat the ass hole! but we got it up to Matt’s house and went back to the basketball court to put it down.
we were able to get it off but there were a lot of complications. first we had a small rip it the lining (what is that stuff called i cant think?) then when we were getting the plow out the plow scratched the paint pretty good. OUCH. and then when we got the plow almost off i kept saying watch your feet and i wasn’t caring about mine just every one else. every time someone said ouch or damn i was think OH SHIT WHAT HAPPENED!!!! but i made sure every one was fine and forgot about myself. i got my foot hit with the plow PAIN!!! i shrugged it off as nothing but it gave my leg a cut and my foot will be black and blue for a while. but YAY the plow is safe!!!!!
i wont go into to much detail about the rest of the night because i claimed the first lj entry solely about the plow event so see whoever’s lj to find out rest. oh and i forgot the shop was supposed to call back to tell us if they had the car done tonight or tomorrow and they didn’t call back those jackasses!!!!! I LIKE DRIVING I WANT MY CAR BACK! of and some irony i forgot to mention was that before the moving truck came a kid from our school in a pick up stopped by and wanted to know what was up and i said every thing was fine. Why couldn’t i say stay we could use some help because then i would have a medium to move the plow DAMNIT. not really irony but it was annoying!
WOOT MID TERMS ARE OVER!!!!
wow i forgot so much stuff i wish i could tell everything but im not that good a typist and i dont have the time
