Somebody Kill me - my car's engine just blew up

[HEyHEY]

FUCK....what did I do to deserve this?

[pagerbear]

1. You criticized the culture of RAs

Those residence call claques are vicious!

[underseasurveyor]

2. Shit, you've been havin' a hell of a time here lately

Just do yourself a favor and don't say, WHAT NEXT?

Sorry yer having a sucky day HEyHEY :-(

[Droopy]

3. Sorry to hear that

I hope you can afford to get yourself a new engine or a new car. It's sucks being without wheels. I've got to put mine in the shop here pretty soon, but luckily I can get someone to loan me a vehicle.

5. Bummer Bid time .... but you can buy a reconditioned engine fairly chea

6. There are other alternatives

Or perhaps you can do something for the environment and ride the bus. Isn't it about time we all start thinking about alternative methods of transportation? Every gallon of gas you buy goes to Bush-Haliburton-Saudi pockets.

7. speaking of

The other day I saw a guy riding a bike down the street. It was a busy street and he was outfitted with headgear and even a bright florescent orange vest. On the vest he had stencilled: "one less car."

14. My friend revised his "one less car" sticker to reflect his situation:

"carless one".

8. Welcome to DU, SilentHillFanatic.

While using public transportation may work well for people living in cities, it's not possible for people who have to travel a ways to take care of life's essentials such as myself. I do try and do my part by driving a fuel effecient vehicle though.

[CanuckAmok]

13. not where HEyHEY lives...

"bus"? Not there.

Sorry to hear that, HEyHEY... but maybe you'll be in an urban setting soon...

[HEyHEY]

16. I'm a reporter, I don't have time for the Bus

[acmavm]

9. Hey, you can use my car. OOPS, forgot, the damn thing killed itself

about three months ago.

Sorry.

[NightTrain]

10. Damn....

And in your line of work, you really need a set of wheels, don't you?

Wish I knew what to say, dude. I hate to see a good man down. :(

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. What kind of car and what happened?

did you lose oil pressure? Blow a head gasket? Throw a rod?

[graywarrior]

12. Get another one at Goodwill or Salvation Army

They have donated vehicles you can pick up for a coulples $100. My husband works for the one in Sarasota. We just bought an 89 Ford Escort 5 speed with 37,000 miles on it. Runs rough, but hasn't broke down yet. Paid $300.
There are several other organizations that sell donated cars, too.
Just a suggestion.

[HEyHEY]

18. I didn't see any actual damage - so I think it just siezed

The oil light went on last night (I usually get it changed regularily, but haven't in a while) I decided I'd wait until I got home to get it done.... then after a steep climb. .. it just went.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. Are you okay?

How did it happen? Sorry to hear that, I imagine it scared the you-know-what out of you....

[HEyHEY]

17. Driving up a big hill outside of Osoyoos B.C.

Loud bang, looked out my rear view - black smoke...then smoke from the engine.

[Shananigans]

19. *sigh*

Life sucks sometimes... I hope you figure something out soon.

[HEyHEY]

20. Yup, I'm gonna kill the guy that built my car

that should solve things

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. Jeez man, did you run over a Gypsy or something?

With the recent run of your luck it sounds like you're cursed

[HEyHEY]

22. I can blame anything financial on myself

That's the cost of going to school - you gotta pay it back. But this, this came outta nowhere.

I'm outta this town.
