Compact Car Conspiracy Theory – Myth Or Fact?
Recently I saw a compact car with the personalized license plate “ITSABOX”. I’m not kidding. It cracked me up, but it was a true statement. The car was totally square. And UGLY. I understand people want to do what they can to save money on fuel and help the environment and all but there’s just [...]
Truck parts on order
Dad got under the hood of the truck and identified everything that needed replacing. He went to the auto supply store up the street where he was informed what my truck needs is available from the manufacturer only. Of course the dealer didn’t have them in stock, they may be in tomorrow. They are expensive. [...]
Rust never sleeps
Mom and Dad just stopped by on their way home. Dad looked under the truck. Apparently the line rusted and let go. There’s brake fluid all underneath there, as well as some on the ground as well. He said he’ll have to replace several lines and that we were fortunate it broke while we were [...]
Take me away
Today has been a rotten day. Around 9:30-10 this morning while I was at work I developed this little twitch by my thumb on the palm side. It lasted all day. Partway through my tow truck ride home tingling began on the upper side of the same hand. It’s really annoying and it also has [...]
Peek a boo, where are you
I recently realized how prevalent gps tracking has become. Hubby has a gps in his truck. I don’t have one in my truck but once in a while if I’m not sure how to get somewhere I borrow his, usually when I’m taking my son to a doctor. I’d like to get one but am [...]
I’d like these surprises more often
I have to pay our car insurance tonight or tomorrow. Now while I don’t look forward to it because it’s a big chunk of money that I have to lay out, I’m not minding it as much this month. Our policy recently renewed and I got a really nice little surprise. We make one down [...]
Would someone get the lights
On occasion I have mentioned my truck, and some of the problems that I’m having with it. The major problems that currently exist are no heat, no air, no defrost, and a leak in some gasket (maybe the head gasket if I remember correctly, it fouls the spark plugs and causes one heck of a [...]
Give thought on what to do with old cars.
I used to have a 1988 Mustang convertible. A while after I had my first son I took it off the road, with thoughts of using it down the road. It needed some work and we didn’t have the money, and the longer it sat out in the side yard the worse it got. So [...]
Is there a bird of good luck?
I’ve heard of the bird of happiness before, many times. I seem to recall hearing of a bird of good luck, but am not sure. Is there one? I’m thinking if there is one the bird is pooping on my head today. I had to run out to pick up something from the doctor’s offce [...]
