my life sux..

Today started ok, the sun was shining and the weather wasnt to hot. 10:00am my sister needs a ride to work in PRIMM (about 30 miles out of las vegas) i tell her my axle is messed up and i would have to drive slow..mind you the shaking is still there...so im driving on on the freeway doing about 65 or 70 and peple are still passing me. i tell my sister,
me: i have a bad feeling about this.
sis:about what?
me: driving this far on a messed up axle.
sis:have faith bro, have faith.
me:its not about faith anymore, i have a feeling we will make it to PRIMM but i dont think i will make it home (thinking the axle will break).
sis: dont worry you will.
Little did i know wut was gunna happen on the way home...so i get on the on ramp, 1st gear..........2nd...................3rd...the car is kind of shaking still but not hella bad...cruising at about 75, a beemer slowly pulls up next to me on my left, then a S class 6.3 biturbo mercades does the same, i look to my left he looks back, i look to my right he looks back, i look straight and keep cruising then they both bone out hella fast and i get into the far left lane..cruise.. i have both hands on the wheel, then i take one hand off the wheel and look to my right next thing i know my steering wheels cuts hard th the left and i lose the ass end of my baby, i do a full 180 and im looking into headlights of 3 other cars, then i keep spinning and spinning and spinning, did 4 360*s and nailed the yeild sign on the off ramp with my passenger rear door and keep sliding into the desert, finally i stop (just cleaned the girl and had her nice and shiny, she went from gun metal to tan in less than prolly 2 seconds)no1 stops to help me for shit...no1!...so i just drive out of the ditch and some how cruise home with nomore dam axle problems..changing axle today by the way but my baby is still scard and bruised...end of story that happened about 4 gours ago

thats almost as bad as my luck last week when i swapped my car with a guy 420 miles away.

i swapped a 1998 peugeot 306 for a 1990 integra da6.
copied and pasted from another site.

i left for the integra on sunday night at 23:45 with my peugeot 306 on the tow dolly,i got to caister-on sea at around 11am on the monday morning,done the deal,i put the integra on the dolly and started the journey home,7 miles from leaving caister on sea the dolly got a puncture,luckily the guy who i got the da from had a old boat trailer with the same wheels as the dolly so he came to meet us where we got the blow out and i got the best wheel/tyre from him,60 miles later another blow out on the dolly,it was the same side as the last time so there was a farm about a mile away so my mate went to ask for some help as i had to direct traffic,20 mins later he came back with another wheel/tyre"whats the chances" so we got it fitted and got moving again,103 miles later,yet again another blow out on the A1 at pontefract,by this point i was well yellow water off so we pulled of the road at this old lay-by,took the car off the dolly,loaded the dolly in the transit as by this point i knew we were'nt going to get a 4th wheel/tyre as the other 2 were just pure luck.we had to drive 253 miles home to get a proper car trailer"from my partners uncle" and then go back and get the car then finally home.around 1500 miles traveling and around £500 for fuel and the hire of the van.[/quote]

oh, damn! I had so much luck, when I got the ED4 Sedan.
Maybe you remember.... look here: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/matteskoeln/album/70896
It's only for parts! The technique works very well, but the metal is very rusty....
I was so in fear! I drove 650 km for this shitty car, I paid (maybe to much) 600 Euros for this fucking car, and the axles weren't in not such a good condition, that you could say: "Hey, dude. You can drive safe with this car..."
No! It was soooo unsafe. But I got it and I'll never, never, never will do such a buy in all of my life, again!
I'd such a bad feeling all the drive from the baltic sea to my home.... you couldn't believe....

So, and now the point, were I wanna come to:
PLEASE be happy, that nothing really important is broken. People like you or something...

dang man had a similar experiance....

Coming home from Orlando in my hatch to Savannah Ga with a bad axle that i should have replaced before the trip. Started bouncing but nothing major. Oh yeah i forgot, i also started my new job the next day and it was already midnight and i was only half way home.  On the highway i see a family in a mini van stopped on the side so i went to help. They needed a jump, that means i had to turn my car around to face there car on the side of the street. This was a bad idea, as i turned my steering wheel as far as it would go the bearing exploded and left my axle draggin the ground so now we were both stranded, my dad was able to get to me and we towed my car with a strap  after i ripped my axle out of my car with a crow bar so it wouldnt drag. We went about 70 miles at 30 mph threw back roads to get home. I made it to my house 45 minutes before i had to be at work at 8 in the morning for my first day of work.

my life's going more and more bad, since the year 2009 started.
I hope 2010 will be a better year than 2009.
I'm so often depressed, that's insane. Can this be true?
Love me or hate me it's still an obsession
Love me or hate me that is the question
If you love me then thank you
If you hate me then fuck you
