Hmph. One hell of a vacation this is- I get the week off, and in the first few days my car catches fire and burns up, my computer develops an exciting new series of bugs that make it slower than a paralyzed retard with no legs, I get convicted of all charges at the Hague, and a ****load of new (and dull, can't forget insanely dull) work comes in. Which I have to do on my computer. Which now takes half an hour to move a vertex or process a page. And all I can do is sit around at home, be nagged by people I'm this close to garroting, and do **** work, because I no longer have a car.


Okay, so one of those things didn't happen, but still. I almost wish it was a normal school week.

[Stryke 9]

NOW GIVE ME SYMPATHY OR ENTERTAIN ME OR SOMETHING YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!!!

DO A DANCE! THAT'S IT! DANCE!

[Shrike]

Your car caught fire?  How'd that happen?

[Knight Templar]

Oh c'mon, isn't this getting old?

"oww my hand, it's crushed!"

"oh my car, its burnt!"

"I stubbed my ****ing toe!"

"My grandparents are dying!"




*goes to read latest America Hating thread*


EDIT: He does actually have A point. It makes me curious, how'd you manage to get your car on fire.

[CP5670]

you forgot this one:

"my multifactorial integrals won't converge! "

we HLP people are whiners by nature, it seems.

How did your car completely burn up like that, anyway? I can understand a fire, but one that destroys the whole thing?

[Kamikaze]

you should post things like this when the softier peeps are around

[Stryke 9]

Not my fault, really. I shoulda explained to my dad that not having water or coolant in the radiator was a bit of a problem, that it's not normal operation for a CJ-7 to fill up with steam or for smoke to come out of the steering column, and that ten minutes of pulling over and maybe a pint of water isn't enough to cool it down really.

I kinda figured it was self-evident at the time, but then, I didn't expect the engine to start burning either.

Was fun to watch, but a tad annoying, since we needed that car.

[Knight Templar]

well it coulda been worse. Vapor lock kills.

[Stryke 9]

Eh, I couldn't drive stick for **** anyway. Was a cool-ass car, one of the originals, but it was getting on in the years and only my dad really could even get it to start anymore.

[Knight Templar]

One of the originals? What like a model T?

*Is not in the mood for vagueness*

[Stryke 9]

Original CJ-7, before Chrysler took over Jeep and the company started making ****ty minivans outta fiberglass (I've got some stories about those crappy-ass Cherokees. All-terrain my ass, can't even take a little rain). All-metal body, real 4WD, not an electronic part in the entire thing... well, we fixed that last bit, but still. Well-made ****.

[HeX]

Oh an old CJ-7 eh? Think that's why my dad used to own. Got it when he got married. Brown, solid steel, had a steel bumper welded on the back when he worked for the Provincial government at the Museum (heh heh...wasn't SUPPOSED to but then again there's of things they weren't supposed to do). Thing was a brute. Standard transmission. Was a real ***** to get running again tho.

[Stryke 9]

Yah, they stall like nobody's business. Mine could make it through two feet of snow a week ago, though, you gotta give 'em that they really worked...

You know, oddly enough, this is about the fourth Jeep in a row my dad's trashed. It's like he's systematically going through the ones that are left...

[Knight Templar]

No ****? We used to have a 48' jeepster, but it was a pain in the ass to maintain and generally cost more than it was worth. Man was it a fun ride though.

[HeX]

The Animaniacs best describe a ride in a CJ-7 through the fields:

"Bouncy! Bouncy! Bouncy! Bouncy!"

[Stryke 9]

That's half the fun! You get a soft top, take the rug off the holes in the floor, and find a nice, rocky road... your ass will be numb for a week, but baby, you'll be FEELIN' that ride.
