What can ya do but laugh!

Me and my lil Toyota Corolla have been through A LOT in the past 3 months... Shall we begin at the top of the list...

I put in a new subwoofer in my car. Of course, it decided to stop working. My car stereo sound like crap without the base. Ugh! so i had to go get that fixed.

On a sunny, HOT day... i was going to the bank down by my best friends house (which is only about 7 min from my house). As soon as i pull out of the banks parking lot, i noticed my car was acting funny. It was tilting towards one side and it wouldnt go very fast. I could also hear this odd noise, which scared me... i thought it was the engine. So i pulled over. and sure it was a FLAT TIRE!!! Ugh. Really? So i tried taking a small road back home. My trail of though was... "i dont know how to change a tire so if i make it home i can call someone to come fix it." Well i made it around the corner from my house and my car just wouldnt go anymore. I was freaking out! I called my best friend to come help me. He was at work, he left work early to come help me. As soon as he arrived he started laughing "THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN TO YOU!" he said. He was my hero that day.

About 2 days later. I took my parents truck to downtown LA to pick up some merchandise for their business. I stepped out of the truck and did my usual shopping. When the company was about to load the truck up with merchandise i realized that i couldn't find my keys. I looked through the window and saw my keys hanging from the ignicion. Locked out! Great!

I went to one of my friends, Rashon's bday party. I went with Jen. It was about 2:30am. We were starving. So me and Jen decided to stop at a 24hr subway. After, i took Jen home and headed home. I decided to eat my subway on my way home. I was driving on the 101 when i noticed a car right on my ass (note: the freeway was completly empty!). It freaked me out! My two thoughts: drunk driver or cop. So i switched lanes (mind you, still eating my sandwich). If it was a drunk driver i wanted to get as far away from that car as possible. As soon as i switched lanes... BAM! Cop light turn on... yeah, i was getting pulled over "SON OF A B!" This was my very 1st time getting pulled over, EVER!! I was freaking out inside. But more importantly i was couldn't remember if i payed my insurance for that month (in cali they have strict rules about driving without a insurance.. they pretty much take your car away on the spot). So i get pulled over and they ask me "have you been drinking tonight" i say "no." They tell me that i was swirving on the fwy. So they do a sobriety test on me. They have me do a field test. So they made me walk in a straight line, check my pupil reaction to light, then send me back to my car. 2 min later they tell me to drive safe. Phew!

My trunk decided to stop opening. Yup, it sure did. Thats still not fixed til this day...

I was downtown, about 2 wks ago. If you ever drive there you know how crowded it is. So traffic was moving and the care in front of me decided to STOP (for no reason), as soon as i saw the car stopping i slammed on my breaks but i knew that i wasnt going to stop. All of a sudden everything was in slow motion. Then i hit the car, going about 25mph. I got out and looked at the damage.... NO DAMAGE ON EITHER CAR! Not even a scratch.. Phew! i was so lucky!

Labor day. Went to my friends baseball game with Jen & Chantelle. Chantelle wanted me to drive her car. As soon as i get on the fwy i noticed i didnt have my license on me.. Crap! Ok, so i was driving fine.. when all of a sudden i notice... yup, getting pulled over... AGAIN! For what?!? My friends windows tint is illegal & she has a plastic cover over her license place (which is also illegal). Oh great! I got off lucky.. again. while she got a "fix it" ticket. We laughed so hard. We just couldnt believe what had just happened.

I was studying at borders. When i was heading home.. my car decided that it didnt want to start. I called chantelle to come boost it. But instead i got a guy to help me. Well, the next day my car wouldnt start again. Yup, needed a new battery. Oh man!

Yesterday, i let my mom borrow my car. Well, when i noticed... my driver side mirror was broken and was stuck on with duck tape. Really?!? Duck tape?!?! Oh man... gotta get that fixed now too....


Thats my car issues... i wonder whats next?!
