Default Think you are having a bad week?

Well, Monday, had to take the dog to the vet. She is pretty healthy, except that she gets sick every night. Yeah, I know, that ain't healthy. Anyway, they still can't figure it out. Tuesday. Wrecked my Malibu wagon. Yes, that is right, I lost a dear member of my automotive family. Some woman ran a stop sign or something. I don't even know what happened. All I knew was I had the right of way, and BAM, there was a car in front of me. I hit the brakes, and it was too late. The Malibu is gone. Cause of death? Blunt force trauma to the grill.
I got a ride home, and had to jump start my black truck, because it has been sitting for a while. While it was running, I noticed tranny fluid dripping on the ground. Rotted line. Jump started the dually, which developed a bad rap the last time I trailered the waGoN, but was going to drive it anyway. Took a battery charger, a battery pack and jumpers hooked to the black truck to get it started. I think the batteries are on their way out, because I had to get jump started when I left work. I left early so I could fix the tranny line. The next morning, I had to jump start the black truck again. When I noticed that the wipers wouldn't work, and then found out the directionals aren't working either. What really set me off was when I found that the radio didn't work either. How am I gonna crank my country music?? I took that to work, and on the way home some banana head decides to run in front of me so I hit the brakes. A puff of smoke from under the hood, and a sinking pedal, gave me a sinking feeling. The brake line coming right of the master cylinder was spraying the header, hence the smoke. So, with the GN in the garage waiting for the updated motor, and the waGoN in the trailer with an expired sticker, I had to rent a car this morning. Five registered vehicles and I gotta rent. I called and asked what they had for AMERICAN cars, and they couldn't guarantee what I got. Yeah right! When I got to the office she said that it was early and everyone was delivering/picking up cars and all I could have was a F0RD Focus, "unless you want a Silverado." Yeah, I took the truck.
I'm tired.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.
