A couple of weeks ago, my car started acting funny. All of the men (Dad, Jas, and my brother) decided I needed new spark plugs and wires, the sooner the better. Jas cleaned my air filter and all was well. I planned on buying the new plugs and wires with this Friday's check. I also planned on betting an oil change for good measure. Until then, things were running smoothly...
I got in my car to go to work today and it didn't want to start. When I finally got it going, it said, "But I don't want to!" "Too bad..." And I took off down the road. A mile down the road, it stalled at the corner. I made my turn and went about another mile to turn around in the grocery store parking lot. I turned in, turned around, and died in the middle of the aisle. I started it. It died. I did this repeatedly with no luck. Finally, I called my daddy to bring me Mom's car.
Now, I got Mom's car. "Mustang Sally" is playing and mocking me. The car is on empty. My car had almost a full tank because I had used the last of my money to fill it. Okay, there is more money but I like to leave $100 in my checking at all times just in case I forget to write something in. Or a lot of somethings. I'm running late for work at this point. I decide to get gas closer to town. I stop at the last station before work because the low fuel light is on. They are getting new pumps and they don't have any gas...
I finally just gave up and went to work. I can't get into too much trouble at the library, right?
