What A Freaking Day :(
#1
Well as some of you might of known I was suppose to come to the poker run but I had to change plans because of me taking the car to the mechanic. Anyways the car needs new stabiliser links, front and back bushings. This will cost somewhere around 350 to repair. So since I couldn’t drive the Niagara I told Kelly (fiancÃe) lets go for a drive up to the place we are getting married next year. This way we can take some pictures and have a better idea of the place. On our way back from Caledon my short shifter broke off while I’m on 5th gear. So pulled to the side of the road right away and tried to realize what had just happened. I didn’t want to stay on the side of the road considering it was dangerous location. I decided to drive the car until we see a empty parking lot. So I take off from the 5th gear. (Never, ever do this) so I rev the s**t out of the engine and slowly drop the clutch, you can smell the clutch burning really bad inside. Anyways we finally get to an empty parking lot and call her sister to get my tools and the original shifter from our house. So about an hour later I’m all done swapping the gear shifter and tried driving the car and it didn’t move at all. The clutch was slipping really badly and it was really slow. So I said damn it. Rev it up high and dropped the clutch (again, never, ever do this). It grabbed for one last time but it broke the plate and really screwed me this time. The car goes to gears without pressing the clutch while the car in on. So I’m assuming the plate is broken or something.

So the finally tally for today, New bushings and links, 350,
Probably new clutch assembly 400 to 700?

What a freaking day. All I could think about was you bastards having fun while I was just stock on the side of the road waiting for CAA to come and get me out.

Well I hope you guys had a better day then I did.
