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!)...
