What The Truck?

sick truck

Yeah... so remember when i fixed my alternator?


yeah, well, that was just the tip of the shit-berg...
beachpoop

I dropped my truck off at the shop yesterday, and i got a call from the mechanic today...

One Oil Change (synthetic)
Eight Spark Plugs ($9 bucks a pop)
One New Spark Plug wire set ($90)
One fuel filter
One random oil spewing gasket
One air filter
A bunch of extra work
And One full blown exorcism

Yeah...
just Seven Hundred Measly dollars and three days later and i get my truck back


the sad thing is that my truck isn't even worth $700 dollars...
just don't tell her that (she's sensitive)

  • Awwww she may be old, but she gets you from point A to point B!
    Just think in 29 days I will be with you and I don't think your truck will be on your mind at all!!

    Keep your chin up.

    P.S. Isn't it kinda wierd that the both of us had had to spend $$$ on fixing our vehicles and then have to also deal with our cell phones crapping out on us too???

  • We always seem to be paying more than our vehicles are worth to keep them on the road. Still cheaper than a new vehicle, right?

  • Hella- it's true, she's been there through plenty a trials and tribulations. yeah, i am starting to wonder about this, how is it you and i are having mirror problems? cell phones, vechicles, lack of sex... hmmmm

    misti- of course i keep old pets, i just might have to change your oil

    SD- i heard about your bingle. (bingle?)

    of all the "rear-endings" i'd wish upon you, that isn't one of them.

    Randi- man, what the hell, is everyone having car trouble?

    Bunny- well, it depens, i mean, seeing as though my truck is being held together with spit and glue it's hard to say...

  • I used to drive a Daewoo Leganza. Don't worry - no one has ever heard of that. Anyway, I know how it feels to pump money into a vehicle that's worth less than nothing.

  • wirthy- how is it that a truck that's worth less than nothing can cost so much?
