Something tells me you shouldn't touch Turbo Boost.

Well so I just got my remote started installed on my car. This is so cool. The idea of being able to turn on my car and having it wait for me all nice and warm is the coolest thing ever. It's like the ultimate remote control. Michael Knight had nothing on my car. Well maybe that Turbo boost thing. But come on when are you going to use that. That car has gone through some hard times with me.

Hard Time #1:
One night I was in my car for a long time just listening to music and finishing up a story. Well the next morning when I tried to turn my car on it would not start. At first I thought it was because the battery was dead but the radio would turn on so that was not it. Well after driving my mother car to work and coming home to have my dad look at it we realized that my car came with an engine kill switch and some how I had turned it on the night before.

Hard Time #2:
Last thanksgiving I crashed it against my friend's mailbox. And since I drive a Hyundai my car lost it's epic battle against the forces of the postal service. Well that was $500 dollars to get repaired. On the bright side though is that I met this cool guy by the name of "AT0400." Ok so that is not his name but i don't want to post his name so that is what I will call him. Well anyway so he fixed my car and off I was. By fixing my car I mean getting a new fender and new rear view mirror.

Hard Time #3:
When I got my car back I wanted to have so much work done to it. Well for starters AT0400 did not finish putting on the pinstripe on my car. Well later on I put in new things on the car such as oil, gas, air filters and new spark plugs and new brake pads. More money.

Hard Time #4:
Well then I get a ticket for talking on my cell wile driving. More money for the car. For those who have not read the story on my ticket please do not feel left out. For those that have I must apologize for bringing it up again. But for those who don't know: It ended up being something like $1.88 for every second of talking. For 45 second conversation. I was really tempted to swear a vow of silence I'm not kidding.

Hard Time #5:
One day I was just driving around my stoping grounds of middle Rockland County. I was driving all day and I had something on my mind and I kept thinking oh I have enough gas. Well Let me tell you. That 'E' stands for 'empty' not 'enough' as I had erroneously assumed. Well there is nothing like having to park your car and and being your long walk to the gas station. Thats like a whole mile. Well as soon as I got out and slammed on my door I remembered that the key was still in the ignition. Could it get any worse. Well luckily there was a copy of my key close by. So I walked in the opposite direction of the gas station to get my key. On the way back to my car I figure I will run down this hill that has snow and ice. Good idea. Well I make it to the bottom of the hill unscathed. Well I walk most of the way back to my car when I see this car that makes me want to make a phone call. Don't ask. I reach for my phone and it's not there. Back to the snowy hill. Now I have to look through the snow. This is the one time that I wished that I still had one of those old brick phone and not a Motorola v60i. At least with those old phones you know when you dropped them because if you were running much faster you knew your just shed 20 pounds of cellular making ability. Found my phone in the snow with my bare hands. My mom asks, "Why weren't you wearing gloves?" Because I was in the car. Well get keys and and mp3 player. Start my walk listening to LC. Look to the right of your screen. After almost being run over by some minivan looking for the parkway I have to go tho the bathroom. Patricia's Pizza whose food no longer tastes good after change in ownership and whose bathroom looks like a Port Authority cleaning nightmare. The best thing about being a man. We can do it standing up. Continue walking and buy a gas can and some gas. And walk back to my car. You know how they make gas cans red for safely. Well I don't think that is the case. I think it's so you people can see the gas can as you walk down the street and they can realize that you are some idiot that just ran out of gas. Get back to my car and pour some of it into my tank most of it pours all over my Neo Propylene gloves. Nice smell for the ride back home.

Hard Time #6:
While driving one day. Minding my own business I was making a left but there was that person who was going straight and hit my car. Well let me tell you my car did not do to well in the battle of the 'front-ends.' I had no front end and the lady that hit me had a dent in her car. I must be driving in aluminum foil with wheels. Luckily I knew the lady and she did not want to file a report.

I had my car towed back to the body shop. $1500. You know that is how much I paid for the car in the first place. Well I paid for it and moved on. Well that is after I spent the $800 on new tires and new wheels. Some more for a remote stater and to have it installed.

Which brings me to the end of today and the beginning of tomorrow.
