5 Things Wrong With Our Car
1. The CD player has major attitude, taking forever to spit out CDs when it doesn't want to, and then when it finally does, it refuses to accept any other CD.
2. Coolant is essential for a vehicle to run properly. You should have to fill the coolant every so often. Our car hates coolant and wants it completely expunged from its insides. It stuffs it in napkins and feeds it to the dog. We put coolant in the car every couple days.
3. Our car has a built-in security system. It's not what you think. Only Justin, and sometimes if I'm lucky, me, Jesse, can turn the key in the ignition. You have to drive it every day and know the trick to turn it on. Even then, it takes two or three tries. I had to wake Justin up at 5:45 am the other day because the car decided I wasn't an authorized user.
4. Recently, the car has decided that even though it can't control when we drive it, it can make us wish we were dead. You know that clicking noise that the blinker makes when you turn it on? Our car makes that noise all the time, except much more sporatically, oh and except when you hold the hazard lights button halfway down. We figure we have three choices: A. Turn the radio (because the CD player won't take a CD) up insanely loud, B. Listen to the clicking, which is very evil because every once in awhile it will stop and you think, it's finally over, I don't have to hear it ever again! but then it always starts up again, this time with even more vigor, or C. Push that hazard button halfway down until your arm and thumb are throbbing. Oh, but you have to let go of it any time you have to signal to change lanes or turn. If you don't, the blinker won't work and you'll get pulled over for not signaling.
5. Thankfully, this problem is no longer a problem. The other day, the car refused to start. It would make an exhausted sighing noise and that's it. So, we figured it was best to check the battery first. In order to do that, we walked to Smiths Marketplace to get some pliers (to get the battery out) and a cart. We wheeled the cart back to our house. We put the battery inside and wheeled it all the way to Auto Zone. They said it would take an hour to check and charge. We walked to Hollywood Video. We walked to Sports Authority and sat on the excercise bikes, just killing time. We walked to Auto Zone to find out our battery is perfectly fine. Great. We put it in the cart and wheeled it back to our house.
Next plan. I called my cousin Kyle and he came over to help get the car out of our very steep driveway. The boys tried pushing it, but no cigar. He pulled it out with his truck and we let the car coast down the street until it could coast no more. The boys pushed it until it started rolling again (with me steering) and it coasted all the way to Big O. A new starter and $333.56 later, our car has no excuses left. It has lost. We control it. We win. After all the grief and power-struggles, it knows who's boss.
