Angry oh what a day!

Sooo...I get my girl back from the shop yesterday afternoon after getting a Major 90k mile Tune-up Svc. done (my baby runs grrreat and she purrrs now ) and after spending a little more than $1k for that, I back up into a freakin' wall this morning in a underground parking garage in the city and crushed in my left tailpipe...then on my way to meet a client, I hit a huge pothole that scuffs up my rim (it's not too bad though)... then it starts to freakin' rain outta no wheres and I had my sunroof open 'cause it was like 90 degrees out... to say the least, it was a pretty bad day for my baby girl... I was going to wash and zaino her this weekend but now I'm all discouraged... poo.... i just had to vent. thanx.

SOrry to hear about what happened.. At least the car is running like it should. I think thats the nore important part In anyevent i the other stuff can be fixed and hopefully it won't cost to much. Good Luck and try not to dwell on the bent tail pipe and rim.. Maybe insurance can pay for it.. Blame it on the county LOL

Sounds like she just needs a little TLC and everything will be just fine. I've had days (even weeks) like that, so I know exactly where you're coming from. Look at it this way -- it could have been a lot worse, right?

sorry to hear about the mishaps, but those things just happen sometimes...try not to dwell on it to much, give your baby some tlc over the weekend, and like the others said, at least she is running strong again after the service and tune up

Bummer. It's been that kind of week for me, too. The PC thing to say is "at least nobody was hurt."
I'd be pissed anyway.

Begin rant:

Frustrating week. I have $ to spend on parts for car projects and nobody will return my calls. Strange.
This is why it's taken me three years to make any progress on my MR2 project.
Not to mention why it's taken EIGHT months to get my GS painted.

End rant.

Things should get better. After a wash and wax it'll look so good that you won't remember today's incidents.

i think i'll use this as an excuse to finaly buy my exhaust! so I hear good things about the RMM exhaust...any thoughts? It's pretty moderately priced and I'm just looking for something that looks and sounds good...think it'll work well w/ a SRT intake?...
