My damn car broke down...

I was driving today, and my car just stalled while I was going like 30 mph on this ramp....it took me about five minutes to get it started again. It kept going for about 10 minutes, then, when I wasn't even a mile from my house, it stopped accelerating, no matter how fucking hard I hit the damn gas pedal, so I pulled into this road that leads to one of those big annoying neighborhoods, went about 100 feet, and then it quit again. All the lights came on and everything quit working. It sucked. I could start it again after that, but it would go about 10 feet and then die again. These guys stopped to help me and gave me a ride home. I had Noah with me, so it was double shitty.

I noticed at Bonnaroo when I was jumping my friend's car off (hehe) that my engine like convulses whenever it's running. It was just shaking like crazy the whole time....it rocks the whole damn car. I figured that probably wasn't good....but then I forgot about it.

I can't afford this. And I'm in love with my car, so it would break my heart to sell it. Volvos are awesome, but they're so high maintenance!

 

this is happening to alot of people latley

mine broke down a few days ago, had to wait 2 and half hours for the tow truck!
all this smoke came from the hood, and i thought it was gonna blow up on me haha
my car is a piece of shit, i wasnt surpised.

 

All you needed to say was volvo...id get a new car

 

I don't think I could ever drive anything but a Volvo...especially the Turbo Turtle! We were meant to be together! I'm feeling pretty used up and worn out myself...maybe it's a sign....

 

My car is broken down as well, has been for the last month. I cant afford to even get a diagnostic test done to see what is wrong with the piece of shit.

Thankfully, I just got a new job so i can get it fixed once I catch up on all of my bills that are waaaaaaaay over due.

At least my parents have a vehicle I can use until I can get mine fixed...

MY parents are the bestest!!

 

I can't find a job. I've been looking everywhere. God is laughing at me. I've been living with my parents my whole life, and they help out so much with my boy that I hate asking them for anything else.... I don't know what to do. I've been looking for a job since January, when I got fired from Dillard's.....no one is hiring here, and if they are, I don't have enough experience or anything. I really don't know how to do anything.

 

if it werent for your boy I would recommend selling Meth to trailer trash...but it isnt good to raise a child in that environment.

 

No one is too good for anything....hehe...


The plus was that I got a ride home from these guys in an old TransAm convertible....I don't know what year, but much older. It was only a half mile ride, but it was nicer than anything I've been in for a while....except my step dad's Lexus....but I don't really like those. They feel too clean and intimidate me.

 

cars suck.

 

Vacuums suck!!!!!!

 

two words happy--SCHOOL DISTRICT.

when I was married (ew) the last couple of years of my marriage I worked as yard aide for one of the school districts here it was only for two hours a day, but it was a start it was some money in our pockets. Most of the time (at least in Cali) there is good advancement, meaning you could work into a different job in no time,since usually they will post the job openings to the employees already working in a school.


NO experience needed to do cafeteria supervision or playground supervision. They will usually run a background check tho.

Yup Happy, try the school districts, good hours, good people, summer vacation off, holidays off. etc.

Its just an idea.

 

That's a good idea. It never really crossed my mind...but I remember all the people like that at my old schools were always really cool. We had a British cafeteria supervisor named Mr. Drury who wore a little golf hat and made these cute little jokes.....he was kind of like Mrs. Doubtfire, but a man....hehe

 

I won't say a thing about my car but yeah man that does suck.

 

As we say in the Netherlands about a volvo:

Volgende
Onderdelen
Liggen
Verder
Op

Lololololo!!!11!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!!!1

 

ahaha...that's so funny...especially since I have no friggin' idea what you're saying!

 

They towed my car to the Volvo repair place today. It was so sad watching it go away....I think I saw a little tear trickle down from it's headlight...


The Turbo Turtle will rise again and be the greatest in the world!

 

your car was leaking too?!?!

 

oh yeah,

my fucking subaru has a cracked head gasket and my volvo 240DL with turbos electrical system is fucked.

 

that is probably like besides ladas and yugos the worst designed automobile on earth.....hey if your cat converter is clogged as slow power loss would indicate all you got to do is bypass pipe it ...cheap any other repairs to old volvo parts too expensive.....a deerslug to the block is humane euthenasia !

 

sounds like a lemon to me.
