The Story Of My Car Part 9

Ok I got the car home but as I said before that is not the end of it as a matter of fact there are so many memories going through my head right now that I do not know where to begin. I guess I will start with my mind set which was that it is OK that this car has so many problems because that is what I want, I am gonna be able to get my hands dirty, learn things and just make this car feel like its mine. I also wanted this car to look as good as its full potential and I was going to spend all the money I made that year on my car (minus the 10% that I always save). It was really good that I had clear goals in my mind before I started on this car because I had to pull them out of memory often as things did not always go to plan, people I would pay to do things on my car would let me down, things always seem to cost more then planned and the car would have these unforseen problems.

Now I had my car at home but I could not drive it because I was only had an automatic car license and this was a manual and because of the trip I had used up all my money so I had to wait to get paid before I could do anything. So for about a week I would look forward to getting home from work so I could see my car and seeing it when I got home made me really happy, even though the car had scratches, a huge dent and various other smaller ones, no grill, not paint on the front bumper and cracks on the body kit, it was actually quite messed up but it did not matter because I totally believed that I had the nicest most beautiful car in the whole of Sydney. I actually got home one day to find the was not there because my brother had driven some of the family for a road trip and that made me so angry doesn't he know what I have been through to get that car I don't remember exactly all the things I said but it was to the effect that no one was going to drive my car No One! a few days later I felt really bad about my reaction if it was not for my brother I would never have the car so after much apologizing i told him he could drive the car as much as he wants just so long as he told me and after 2 years we are the only two people(and a few mechanics for brief moments) who can drive this thing.

I tried to get my dad show me he ropes of a manual car but unfortunately he does not know how to teach to drive, he has a demanding and have it his way kind of nature that just drives out my natural drive and enthusiasm (I had been actually trying to become a driver since I was 16 and I got it almost 10 years later when I could afford driving lessons) after two lessons I gave up on him and when I did get paid I just got some driving lessons. When I actually did get my license I think I stalled the car once and that's it I was driving the lesson I got from this experience is that it is good to get paid you are never gonna get ahead if you do not have money.

I should tell about the reaction I got from other people you see as you know I thought my car was the fo shizzle ... the fa shiz nit just like snoop dogg would say it however everyone else did not think so the first time I brought my car to work I will take my friend Kim for example he said "Is that your car ?..." with a look of wtf "its got a lot of scratches on it" and he made it look like he was holding a lot of criticism in. The reactions I got did not matter though I guess I was looking at the car for what it could be but even at its beaten up state I still thought it was gorgeous I would drive through the main st in Blacktown where I live and there is this thin street there with lots of shops on the side With my music illegally loud so that everyone would not miss site of this beutie. Sometime I could get a break from work to park my car and when this would happen I would take my car through main street once again even though I could get into trouble with my boss but I had to show everyone my car and I would hand wash my car often and knew where every detail on the car be it a dent or a scratch and if a new scratch appered (this would usually happened if I went to get my car washed) no matter how small I would be able to spot it .... it was lame and I g0t over it.


I think that is enough for this installment I am sorry about putting up such a me me I I blog I will talk about more interesting things in my next intallment.

Thanks again for reading

Have a good one.

The Story Of My Car Part 8

As I said in the last part of this series when I awoke the morning of the rest of my journey home my sickness was no longer a problem however we had some more drama to deal with.

You see what had happened during the drive the day before was that one of the nuts on the edge of the back bumper had fallen off so now the back body kit was hanging a bit from the cars body and we just could not drive like that for one thing would vibrate and damage the car and secondly with speeds we were traveling the unsecured bumper would act like a parachute and our back body kit would fly off and that as Bart Simpson would say it would be a major bummer.

To try and secure it we looked for screws and ropes and wires around the motel and in the car but we could not find anything, I asked my neighbor who probably had something in his truck but he did not wanna help he was actually quite annoyed that I asked him for help I don't know what his problem was maybe he was racist or maybe be was annoyed at all the alarm noise that my car made the night before or maybe he had a massive wedgie whatever but I did make a face at him when he turned around .... Just kidding I didn't but I should have. Anyway we did eventually secure the thing with some cable tie and cable ties are awesome for securing body kits because the thing did not come off or vibrate.

With the rest of the journey back my brother was driving at insane speeds there were long stretches of road between Bellina and Sydney were the speed limit was 120 well we were going at 150 which is 30 k's over the speed limit if we were caught by the law driving at those speeds then we would be in really deep shit however ma bro knew roads well he knew which roads we were likely to find cops on and on which we wouldn't and he avoided the law well however we did have some close calls like the one time were he braked merely seconds before we hit a speed camera as a matter of fact we were so close that we thought we were goners however weeks later I did not get a speeding letter so I guess he slowed down just in time whats cool about this is that we had been speeding for a long time before we hit the camera and my brother slowed down for no reason, neither of had seen the camera sign he just slowed down by chance because of his sixth sense and the long arm of the law was not long enough to catch us.

I should talk about the law we had collectively named everything to do with the police such police cars and cameras "The law" and it was funny because we talking in funny accents about we pulled out any all the cleshayed movie line about the law and just dumb crap like that, and that kept us entertained for a while because we had gotten pretty tired of the music that Andrew left us and the scenery was not changing much.

I should mention the car we were pushing it pretty hard with the breaks and speed the dash had actually gotten warm because we were driving so fast for so long but through all that the car just kept going there was no better way to test this car then this drive and I have to say it passed with an A.

With us always driving over the speed limit we had to keep an eye out for the law mainly the undercover police cars ( the undercover cars were not too hard to spot as they were always these big Australian cars with tons of antennae sticking out of em). The few that we saw left us be but one of these cars was driving behind us for about half an hour and he probably wanted to stop us because the spoiler on the car was too big I did not know this at the time I only found out about this much later when my car got defected because of it.( Andrew had neglected to tell me about the spoiler as well). The law did not stop us probably because the weather was really bad and after a while it overtook us. After it overtook us my brother turned to me and said the law is speeding and it was not by a little bit it was doing more then 10 ks over the speed limit so we did what any sane driver would do we got a safe distance behind law and we followed with us driving faster then we should as well until the car turned out of our way.

Well that was our encounter with the law but moving on after a few more hours of driving the batteries in our GPS devises finally died but it did not matter because we were heading in the right direction and a while later we got to areas we were familiar with.

When we were about 10 minutes away from home it was near the time my two other siblings were going to get off school so we called them and told them to wait and that we would pick them up in my new (second hand) car but my brother had underestimated how long it was gonna take us to get there and my siblings ended up waiting about 45 minutes in the cold for us to come and pick them up ... ahh well they forgave me but it sucks we should have just let em go home and to make things worse my brother caught the same puking and crapping bug that I had....(I do hope they change the bed sheets at the motel I slept in otherwise someone else out there probably had their road trip ruined)but you know what despite the troubles we got the car home and everyone was quite happy with it.

Thankyou for reading the journey of getting my car home. I have not even finished half "The Story Of My Car" I still have a lot of interesting things to say so if you are enjoying the story so far then read on to the next part cause you ain't seen nothin yet.

Have a good night

The Story Of My Car Part 7

Ok so we are at the motel bit of the journey. I will warn you before you go any further that this is one of my yucky blogs so if you don't wanna know then please skip this blog and I promise there will be no more diarrhea or vomiting stories but if you are going to stick around and read this blog then its cool its actually a pretty good story.

I will start with the guy at the counter he was absolutely sure that brother had booked into the motel a few time before which was not likely because we had not been 500 km near the place ever before so as far as we know my brother has a look alike.

Before we could get into our room we had to lock the bloody car. The car gets locked wirelessly with a button on the key whenever the car got locked (plus have the alarm engaged) or unlocked it would make high pitched clicking noise and if unattended for a minute the cars alarm would click on without locking and if opened it would engage the cars noisy alarm. We did not know how to work the cars noisy alarm/lock system and Andrew had neglected to tell us how this is done. We clicked and put off the alarm so many times in trying to get things in and out of the car that I heard one of the other motel patrons who were probably sleeping already yell out in frustration I am sure if we had been at any longer that we would have had a confrontation with our neighbors but my brother did figure out how the alarms worked before it was too late.

With us finally getting to the room I was quite sick like my joints felt heavy and my insides felt like they were full of sludge again on my sickness scale I was back up to an 80% I just wanted to get to a bed pass out but I was way too uncomfortable to do any of that so the first thing i did was go into the toilet and try and get this crap out of me now this was really funny because I was having explosive diarrhea and I am not even exaggerating the description and I would normally want to keep that private but the door in this motel room was thin as so as far as I know my neighbors could hear it too and for some god forsaken reason I could not stop laughing so what I did was whenever i exploded a big one it would be followed by a big laugh. When I was done my brother was like "why were you laughing so hard" and I thought "If my purpose was to detract people from the dumping by laughing then I guess it worked but that was not my purpose I don't know what was so funny".

Ok so I wrote about my diohorea story if any one has problem with that then screw you man at least i have a story to tell I was sick and I will have you know that this was the last time and I have been flushing nice healthy sausages since then :P.

After the toilet I actually felt quite a bit better I did not feel like eating anything but I was doing better I had a shower brushed my teeth and ate some chocolate ( I had to eat something) that was sitting at the motel. The motel had some chocolate, cookies and drinks we started opening everything to taste them all because they all seemed different to the stuff we normally have thinking it was complementary but we later found out that we had to pay for it all and the damn things were so expensive.

I did not need anymore food I just wanted to go to bed now I told my brother that he could take some money from my wallet and go get some food and he said that he did not want to spend anymore of my money which was really sweet of him because he had found my car and put everything else aside to come and take this car home with me and I was not paying him and to think all that he was doing for me did not register to him and that he was worried about spending a little bit of money of mine to get food was very cool. He did not have much money of his own so after a bit of convincing he took some money and went on his way to find a KFC using the trustee GPS. After he left I was left pondering how lucky I am to have my brother because he is just so awesome in so many ways and my life would be so much less without him.

And with those thoughts I fell asleep and I must have slept 10-12 hour straight and this nap was exactly what I needed because the next when I woke up my sickness was almost totally gone and after my brother got up and we paid it was time to continue our journey but we still had car troubles and I will talk about this and our encounters with "The Law" in the next part.

Well you read my yucky blog so as a reward I will get you to admire this picture of Megan the Fox but boys don't admire too long because if your lady finds out you might be in for some pain.


..... Stop admiring, stop it, stop it!
:) :)
Have a great week

Are You Like Most Guys? (by Nate Green)

As you may already know I write blogs I also like reading them and one of my favorite bloggers is Nate Green and this is one his best writings:

How do you stack up, Slick?

Most guys are physically weak and only "work out" when they're feeling particularly bad about staying up all night drinking and oogling women they'd never have a chance with.

Most guys spend more money on beer than they do on quality food. (And it's piss-beer, at that.)

Most guys have absolutely no idea what kind of body women find attractive.

Most guys are in debt up to their eyeballs and have no way to get out. They then spend money on frivolous, materialistic crap and end up paying 18% interest on something that cost $9.50.

Most guys who have the means skimp on nice clothing and dress like homeless people.

Most guys don’t have a post-workout shake and still wonder why they're not gaining muscle as quickly.

Most guys can't cook.

Most guys only get laid a couple of times per year. And if it's more, most guys screw the same manipulative, bitchy girlfriend who has their balls in a vise grip.

Most guys sit on their ass all day and waste time watching trashy sitcoms.

Most guys haven't opened a book since high school.

Most guys can't deadlift their own body weight.

Most guys don’t even know what a deadlift is.

Most guys back down when they need to stand strong and make up with bombast and ego when they need to feel worthwhile.

Most guys act tough when they feel threatened.

Most guys work a job they hate.

Most guys live a life they hate, or worse, a life they quietly tolerate.

Most guys are sheep who settle for what was given to them.

Most guys don't know their families well.

Most guys hesitate and miss their chance to talk a beautiful girl.

Most guys don't know what they're doing tomorrow.

Most guys have no idea how good a top-notch bourbon, glass of malbec, or a craft beer really tastes.

Most guys are looking for the bigger, better deal and don't live in the present.

Most guys don't travel outside of their city, state, or country.

Most guys make excuses for everything.

Most guys react to every situation.

Most guys give us a bad name.

Most guys survive.

Don't be most guys.

Thrive.

I hope you dont mind me borrowing your blog Nate I did buy your book :D
