Its been a bad couple weeks for cars, especially mine. Here's a rundown of my bad luck in the past 10 days or so.

1. Got a kitten for my girlfriend. Coolest kitty in the world. Named him lemmiwinks. He'd chill on my lap most of the day while i was working (not bad luck yet)

2. Hear a squeeling sound coming from the car. Thought it was the turbo, so i removed it and rebuilt it. Put it back on the car, still heard the squeeling. Distributor died. Turbo was fine the whole time. Then i realized i forgot to put a 'piston ring' in the turbo, so ive got to take it back apart, then get it balanced.

3. Kitten got sick and didnt make it through surgery. Poor little guy. He will be remembered as the coolest cat ive had, and ive had a couple dozen.

4. Realized kitten gave me ringworm to remember him by. Goddamit!!!

5. Decided to flush my cooling system today. Radiator broke...would have left me stranded, so i guess it was kinda good luck. kinda...

In other words, id better not hear any bitching and moaning on the board unless you've been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

My car has now been hit by the gremlins.......car won't start and I am having major electrical issues. The stealership has it right now and it looks like I am going to be adding a significant amount of money to the debt situation. Oh well....
