Psychic Car, perhaps?
So, Yesterday I worked at the Pharmacy. After work I stopped by my Doctor office job to check messages and etc...Drove home and felt compelled to clean out my car. I almost live in my car! I have 4 job locations...and I am often going from one to the other and when I get home...whatever is in the car, is in the car...until I finally clean it out...
I had clothes, shoes, coffee cups, vitamin shaker cups, sheets, trash, bottled water, pens and lots of change all over that car...Needless to say, I enjoyed finding "stuff" while I was cleaning!!! I found a few things that had been missing for months!!!!
Then, I figured...Let's take the car to the car wash...it had not been washed since, like ever...I don't even remember...and then, we vacuumed the car...When I say we, it is the kid and I... LOL
We drove to Walmart, to pick up a couple of items and then stopped at Sonic for a nice little ice cream treat!!! I stopped the car...We sang songs...and ate the ice cream...and then, I went to start the car, and NOTHING!....the car had plenty of juice...lights on...it would not turn over...no sound...no clicking...nothing...so, I put her in Neutral...roll the car forward...turn the wheels...put her back in park...try to start her up...and NOTHING...So, I sat there and every few minutes...I tried again...
So, I told the kid that we would be walking home...and we would deal with getting it home later...he said to me, "mom, I am so glad the you are not like other people!" I looked at him and gave him a quizzical expression...which he responded with..."you don't hit the car and yell...other people would do that and you t sit there nice and calm."
Well, I really wanted to hit the car, but...what good would it do? Walking home was no big deal, we live close to the Sonic...so, I just smiled and let him know that it will be okay...
I called a buddy of mine to come out and see if he could do anything...and yeah, no...he could not...so, since it was so late...I started looking online for a Topw Truck service in my area...I was immediately drawn to a Full Service Center, right in town...I felt compelled to call and then I figured that they would be closed...so I called a 24/7 tow place and had them tow my car home...$55 and 5 minutes after my car was hooked up...it was in front of my house...it took longer to do the paper work then it did to tow the car... Such is the way it is...I sure did not want to leave my car overnight at a public location...
I did some research, last night...(my buddy was thinking it was the starter) me, I think it is either the Starter Relay switch or a faulty ignition...so, I did my looking around online and found that if you spray a little WD-40 in the ignition...it could prompt the ignition to work...so, because I cleaned out my car that day...I knew that I had some WD-40 in the trunk...I waited til this AM to spray it in...probably should have done it last night...cause my car did not start.
My mother gave me a ride to work and on my way...I started looking up shops in my area and again felt compelled to call that Auto Center...so...I did...I immediately felt at ease with the guy and for $45 he would come get it...and for another $79.95 he would put her on the diagnostic machine...again...such is the way it is..so, that being said...he picked up my car this AM...and funny thing...He put the key in and it started right up for him...so, he turned her off and tried again..and this time it did not...he thinks it is in the ignition as well...so, now...we shall see what is up with my Psychic car...
My mom offered to let me keep her truck today...and I had that feeling of no worries...come over me...that it would be okay...so, I sent her on her way and now I am at home...without a car...And I am okay with what will happen next...Now, I am looking forward to finding out what is up with my car...
I am a bit short on cash this week...but again...I still feel...okay...it is all gonna work out...everything will be good...and I'm not stressing...So, I will update you all on the story, later this eve or on the morrow!! :)
