    Default Our (almost) trip to Reno...

    So, my girlfriend and I decide to go up to Reno to work. Im a bit tired from working last night and then getting up early so we decide she will drive. Were on our way halfway there (70 miles from home, 70 from Reno) Were chatting ans shes talking about how she wants to get rid of her car and get a Tahoe and how its getting old and blah blah blah when the car makes a clicking noise. Then the check engine light... then tons of white smoke billowing from the back of the car. We almost started laughing. The timing was amazing...

    We pull over to the side. Call every freakin person we know for help. Have no clue what to do with the car or how wed get to work or if we should even go. We ended up not going. We called AAA and an hour later they show up. She decides to have them tow her car back.... a 70 mile ($500) tow... at least the guy was cool.

    Needless to say it was in interesting night.... shes freaked because all her bills are past due and rents due, and her car now has problems... not to mention the CC she gave them doesnt have the $500 on it (thank God for carbon CC slips)... I kept trying to find the humor in all this but it does royally suck... anyway - just thought Id share my night - were going to try to make it to Reno again tomorrow (but well take my car this time!)...

    Gosh, what a drag. I hope everything works out for her. I hope Reno is profitable when you guys finally get there.

    Well, she must be doing ok if this is her plan. Those bad boys get a big 15-20 mpg.

    But, sorry you got stranded and shit. That stuff always happens at the worst possible moment.
    Check out my new eBay auctions.......

    Yup - and her card was declined this morning - the tow guy called me and I gave him her number... ugh... I dont want to be in the middle of this. I used my AAA so they have MY info too... horrible. So, he threatened to come back and take her car and shes all mad and calls me so I told her wouldnt she be mad if she did $500 worth of dances and the guy didnt pay?.... so, shes moving the car into her garage and praying to have money in her account tomorrow to cover the tow fee.

    If it were me I wouldnt have had it towed back only to the closest town and asked someone with a truck and hitch to come get it... I dunno - sometimes its just not worth the fight...

    So shes at the dealership getting a Mitsubishi something or other.... and shes not doing ok money wise... shes just pound smart and penny foolish (hence the MPG) ... oh well... Im just glad to be home, safe with my nice reliable car with a bumper to bumper...that we should have taken yesterday - but will def take today.
