Default had a bad weekend.

this is one way of venting for me.

the weekend was terrible. first it rained most of the weekend, then saturday morning i came out to find a ticket on my truck for parking on the wrong side of street even though i've parked in the same spot for the last 2yrs and never got a ticket for it. all my neighbors got tickets too.

then saturday afternoon, i was on my way to my grandpa's house to weld my friends exhaust and was getting pretty annoyed with the person in front of me constantly solwing down to 30mph and speeding up to 40mph in a 50mph zone so i turned off on a side road. well as i was turning the backend broke loose(ground was dry too) so i cranked the wheel to the right(was making a left turn) and then the backend swung the other way and luckily the truck came to stop in a city well house driveway only a 1ft from a ditch where it would have rolled if it kept going.

then sunday i was on my way home from my friends house and i saw, last minute, a possum in a dimly lit dip in the road. well his head slammed into the y-pipe and my truck smells like dead, burnt possum now.

some good news though. i finally broke down and bought an aftermarket radio. its a base model pioneer(cheap model) and because i ordered the intermediate brake cable for my truck and the lamo's in delaware never shipped it so the autostore gave me a greater discount on the stereo so i got it for $50 instead of $100.

and i also got my headers from summit racing and installed them on my civic and it runs like brand new(minus the second o2 sensor).

LOL! It just wasn't your day. That must stink!

I gotten a ticket for an Unhitched trailer. So I guess if I have my trailer I have to take it everywhere with me.

Things like that seem to run in spurts. Looks like you got through it unscathed.
I did get a chuckle out of the possum incident though...sorry
