You know, I wish that cars would warn you when they don't feel like starting. Specially when it's night time and all you really wanna do is go home. Something along the lines of "hey, plan ahead, I'm not starting later!" would suffice.

Rushing in the office cause I really didn't want to be there last night. Go to my car feeling accomplished, turn the key and *click click click*


....


*click........dead*

Luckily I have AAA, since I'm fortunate enough to have nobody to turn to in a time of crises. Smiley: rolleyes I have to admit that AAA rocks, but the whole getting home retardedly late thing just wasn't cool.


Smiley: mad

Oh damn.
Your car tried to get a hold of you, but you didn't answer your phone and it doesn't like leaving voice mail, so it called me and asked me to make a post to let you know it wasn't going to start.
I dropped the ball man, sorry. Smiley: frown

Added bonus: The term "cranky" actually did come from people who were irritated because their car wouldn't start. It comes from the times of when you had to start your car by turning a crank at the front of your car.

Oh hush. Just be happy that this didn't happen in -10 degree weather during a blizzard on a night when the roads are so icey that AAA WON'T COME OUT.

Cranky, meaning crotchety or annoyed, precedes the first commercial automobiles by more than 60 years.

Did you check your crown air freshener? I know Cuban people's cars don't run when their crown air fresheners run out.

Maybe it's time to hang a new CD from your rear view mirror?

I don't do the crown air freshener because it's too rich for my blood. Instead of hanging CDs, I hang some crazy asian thingy from my rearview. Smiley: laugh Let me go to my car right quick and take a picture of it.

The dude's from Miami. The day it's -10 and a blizzard down there, we'll have bigger issues than Exo's dumb car.


Tip: The New York Metropolitian Library can provide shelter, books to burn and chairs convertable into snowshoes

Nah, picture makes it look bigger than it is. Doesn't get near me and it's too far from the dashboard. No crazy tapping. (Would drive me nuts, too, if it did.)

Why is there no cheese on the dashboard? Smiley: confused

That mental image is just Smiley: laugh

I'm picturing him with this goofy little grin, kind of giggling, with his shoulder cocked so that his elbow's above his head and he's slowly moving in to slice the tiniest slice he can.. eyes getting wider with every inch he grows closer.
