Sorry for the long ass post -
I had a feeling that this weekend was gonna turn out shitty by the way it started - Thursday Night, I'm dropping off my friend that I work with at his house. It was the first snowfall of the month in my neck of the woods, and the shit had turned slushy, so we all know, what that means - powerslides and E-brake turns. :naughty: Well I did some shit on the way to his house, but I chilled out cuz a Sheriff drove by, then as soon as I turned onto his street, some fucking douchebag bolts across the road - I almost hit him, but i swerved and missed him...and then I lost control. I fishtailed, and then I saw the curb coming up at like 25. HATE THAT feeling when you realize that you have no control of the car right before an accident occurs. I slammed into that curb and headed back towards the middle of the street. The car had stalled as soon as it hit the curb, so I started it back up to park it somewhere and check the rims...I noticed that it all of the sudden it seemed alot easier to turn the steering wheel...Uh Oh. Just to test I spun the wheel clockwise - it kept spinning, and spinning, and spinning. At this point I panicked because i obviously have no steering and the car IS STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I thought "fuck it" got out of the car, and looked at the front tires - both tires were turned inwards!!!!
I called the tow truck (thank god for AAA) and had it towed to the local Mazda dealership. It was a fucking embarrassment having my car towed onto the lot, esp since the tow truck driver parked my car right next to a brand new RX-8. I talked to the mechanic like an hour later he said it's the rack and pinion assembly and won't be done till Monday - total cost for ordering parts and labor? $1340...well my insurance has a $1000 deductible, whatever.
I assumed Mazda was going to hook me up with a loaner like a new 6 or a 3, but nope, they were all gone. He said he can get me a deal with Enterprise thru the dealership, I said sure, thinking they were probably gonna stick me in some boring ass beige Malibu...not exactly. The Enterprise dude shows up in this bright blue Kia Rio...my jaw nearly dropped as I invisioned a weekend worth of humiliation while driving this little shitbox around town.
Well anyways got off of work last night and I hotboxed the bright blue magical gumball with wheels. Sure was fun, until the drive home after dropping everyone off. I was driving down the main strip when I looked up just in time to see a 99-2001 Grand Am heading in the opposite direction jump the curb and slam into a Yield sign the sign went down with a slam and it created a huge ass spark, at the same time knocking out his right headlight...then he swerved towards the middle of the street - towards me...He corrected him self after coming within 5 feet of my car - AND HE KEPT ON DRIVING!!!! The dude driving was so drunk, I counted a full 10 seconds before he realized he had hit a fucking Yield sign and actually stopped the car to find out what the hell he had done.
Fucking drunk drivers.
Add to that the fact my fiancee is left for Utah today and won't be back for a week - int other words no sex for a week...unless...:sly:
Well that's all folks - sorry for the extremely long post.

Seriously, miss her more for who she is than how she is in the sheets.
