Well fuck then
My plans for the day have changed. Originally they included the cooking and consumption of eggs with yummy ham. Instead I had some cold pizza before going back out to wait for a tow truck. See right as I got to the nearest intersection to my apartment complex, just as I went into that left turn at the arrow, my car started making horrible horrible noises. And shaking. So I pulled to the side of the road and stopped. And got out and looked under the car and around it but saw nothing being dragged, no flat tires. So I started it again. And going into drive, a shakin' and a rattlin' and all kinds of commotion. So, with the help of a couple friendly guys working on the intersection, pushed the car into the nearest parking lot...
So walk home, get the roommate to drive over to get the groceries I left in the car. Call the family so they can set up things with our mechanic, call AAA for the tow, then wait for the driver. When he gets there he looks at the piece of car that I found after pushing it. Its black and kind of plastic and like a spirally funnely looking thing. His guess was something off the steering column or possibly the wheel base. I'm just hoping it won't TOTALLY wipe me out money wise for the next week or so...
Oh and that it can fixed and road worthy again by tonight so I don't have to try and borrow a ride for work for the next two nights. Blah! Comics then bed...

Alas poor Camry
My car is dead. The mechanic does not feel its worth the cost to make road worthy again. My step-father is looking to try and find me a new vehicle. But I liked my car. It was a Toyota Camry 4-door with a hatchback. Like a merging of a station wagon with a standard Camry. It could haul lots of stuff and got great gas mileage. And now its dead...
Dammit.
