So.. a clutch exploding and filling the car with burnt and nasty smoke.. Sounds like a nightmare straight out of the movie the Hitcher. Well.. Happened. Got towed. Dropped car off at dealers. Threw the keys at the guy and walked out. My parents wanna fix it.. I wanna junk it. So who wins the arguement? Who do you think? So.. car has 2000 dollars worth of repairs to pass inspection in october. including but not limited to.. The Knocksensor, o2 Sensor, Exaust. And not to mention shit that needs to be fixed before it will roll without being pushed: Clutch, Clutch Plate, Possably the seals and the housing aswell.. Car is worth maybe 2000 trade. Worth fixing? APPARENTLY SO! My parents are arguing about it as we speak. I get to drive my dads 2006 GMC 2500HD with a 5.8L engine in it till they decide what to do.. That means NO dates, NO anything but back and forth to work.. Thats all he will let me use it for.. So i am basically grounded. Meanwhile, they will take upwards of a month, I am sure, to decide what to do about my problem. I have the apartment by the end of the week *Crosses fingers* and no transportation. HAHA. Excellent. Life Grand? Well.. At least I have a roof over my head and am ALIVE. But those are the only positives I see other than the fact that I have friends like yourselves and parents willing to actually help me when I need it most.. So.. Emo? No! Just a bit upset that when something goes right.. Something almost instantly goes wrong. I am pretty resigned to it at this point. Haha. Had better weeks. But could be worse!!! :DDD
