squirrella: (car lust)
Tomorrow's going to be one hella-busy Saturday, and really, I need a Saturday where I can sleep in a little, or at least not have to be shitted, showered, and shaved before 8am.

All Saturday morning, the following is happening: Mom's coming up to visit/help with some things that are in need of getting done, the plastererererer guy is coming to put on another coat of plaster (this'll be the fourth or fifth coat; he should be painting by next week!), a towing company should be coming to pick up the Subaru and whisk it away to Donation Heaven (more on that later, perhaps), our new refrigerator should be delivered and our old moldy one hauled away. Hopefully, the dryer repairman will FINALLY show up and replace the *other* coil so that we can once again have a dryer that works. Without a car, I won't be able to run 6 loads of laundry down to the laundromat and back. At least, I won't be able to do that and keep the task under 2 hours.

My plans for Sunday are still up in the air, and at this point, I'd just as soon not do anything. It's been an unbelievably difficult month for us...

For all intents and purposes, the car is dead. It runs, but doesn't drive. Some asshat that test drove it killed the clutch. He's running for city office. He will not win. He is a crusty whore's douchebag.

And yes, WTF is exactly right.

Oh man. So it is possible to kill a clutch on a test drive?? How??

apparently it's possible to kill a slowly dying, it's-got-a-good-thousand-+-miles-or-more-clutch when you don't know thing one about driving a stick. that said, people are ALWAYS grinding gears, stalling, and riding the clutch when they first learn and you don't see clutches just up and dying every day. i mean, if you're a mechanic you do, but that's different. i've never had to replace a clutch and Mike and I had cars that totalled more than 350,000 miles between the two of them. granted, his truck could have used a new transmission, along with just about everything else... and my Mazda was just starting to hint at needing replacing when i sold it at 160,000+ miles.

so, short story--you're fine, the little Blue Sue is fine, and Lilia makes me happy she's so freakin' cute!!!!

And now I'm very curious, what city office? Is this someone you already knew (and then I could guess)? Or you could just tell me?

That is just insane.
