One last story in the saga of the Jeep. Between the windows, the batteries and everything in between, I’ve been ready to kick the damn thing. But I’ve been nice to it. And yet……
So I’m taking my kids to my dad’s house in the morning, and something just isn’t right. The alignment was off, and when I get to Dad’s house (abouth 3 minutes from my house) I take a look. Lo and behold-a flat tire. I am not happy. But I call AAA, and they come (rather quickly, I might add) and change my tire, and off to work I go. Fortunately my spare is a full size tire, so I take care of the flat after work.
Ok, so that doesn’t seem like much of a story, I know. But that’s not the end.
The very next day, as I’m driving to my dad’s house (same ol’ routine), I hear “thunk”, and then thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap……..
The upper half of the plastic “hub” over the tire FELL OFF OF MY CAR.
FELL OFF OF MY CAR.
Fell off. While I was driving. Bottom half hitting the tire. So not happy.
I am so done with this Jeep. I am so done with Jeep in general. I’m done with Daimler-Chrysler. So very done.
Now, I have a Honda Civic.
It’s ALIVE!
I was beginning to think you’d given up on your blog, keeping in mind that you—unlike some of us—actually have a life.
Sorry to hear about the Jeep. Now I’m waiting to see pictures of the new car. I KNOW you have a camera, so no excuses!
Hooray!! A new post! I had given up.
The new car is adorable and I think you’ll be very happy with it. Honda’s are right up there with Toyota’s (IMO) and if you take care of them they will take care of you for a long time!
I know the dudes are pretty happy about you getting the Civic!
I feel so sorry for you…
Maybe driving jeeps wasn’t really meant for you…
Sometimes unsual things really happens and it just messes up your day…
