Default When "it" hits the fan!

So my Monte is in South Jersey waiting for the w/e to get the Trans work done. Today, I had to ride my sons FZ8 home in the rain at 50° just to find the Mrs's Lexus has a Clogged Fuel Filter and will not start.
To top it all off, all my tools are in the trunk of my Monte.
So Pepboys finally get to do a job on one of my cars that I Can do!
In the mean time, I'm sitting in the Lex with no heat, waiting for the tow truck. I'm hungry, thirsty, tired, and I think I gotta go potty?

When "It" hits the Fan "It" gets all over Everything!!!!!!

I sorry to hear about the troubles. It really sucks being down to one car. You sound like you are being more civil than I am when I'm cornered like that. I'd lose my **** and it would most def not be posting time

2hrs into waiting for the tow truck and I want to Kill Something! I Love my insurance Co but their third party tow service really Suck-ith! I mean couldn't the Driver or his dispatcher have called me with an ETA?
And it really does suck to have 2 cars down at the same time. It really does

JC I gotta say:

I have never been in that exact situation.... However, I have experienced something very similar ... I have been stranded in the middle of no where in a semi (when I use to drive Truck for a living) and had to once sit in the middle of winter in the mountains of Pennsylvania in single digit temps....

Freezing my nads off and yes I had to go well you know also....
I feel Ya!

I hope its over soon and your get back to normal creature comforts!

Well the bright side is you can only go up from where your at now! Tough break, especially when your low on coin and then have to pay someone to do an easy fix...

Go kick your car or your dog!!

THANKS Everyone,
I made it home at 9:30. The tow try class driver apologize all the way to my house, 4 blocks from where the car was, he new I was pissed.
Once I was home I had to deal with the old Lady, who was ranting about buying a New new car. I can't blame her, she wants to drive into the new mallenium. I feel her on that.
Well, It's still raining, and the FZ8 waits to take me to work. In the rain! It's gonna be another one of Those Dayz!

JC things will get better. It just seems its a part of life when one thing goes, everything goes. Normally thats how it goes for me to. But after getting through then things will look up again. You will get there man, best of luck.

Dude, that sucks. We all relate. Nothing like feeling as if you're being kicked when you are down. There is a car in my fleet that gives me that feeling (it's the one vehicle in my fleet I get nervous to work on because I feel the darn thing is waiting to spring a trap on me).

Hopefully the rain stops soon for you and all you problems begin to stop with it.
