Rough Day Relatively Speaking

Well, I was on my way to a training class in Raleigh and my trusty old Ford Taurus threw a rod. I was 150 miles from home and things could have been worse but not a fun day.

Re: Rough Day Relatively Speaking

I'm really sorry to hear that Scott. Car troubles never happen at a good time.

But, if you had bought the mule like I told you too, this whole problem could have been avoided. Transportation and entertainment all in one. Never had my mule throw a rod, and itmakes those lonely nights in the hotels a little more bearable.

Re: Rough Day Relatively Speaking

So what you're saying now is that it's old and not so trusty anymore...

Yikes!! Sorry to hear about the car trouble. Nothing is worse than the look of joy on the service writers face when an "out of towner" has a vehicle towed in.

Re: Rough Day Relatively Speaking

Ouch Scottie. But I can empathize with you. Once had my Ford Van throw one out the bottom straight through the oil pan while I was over in Maryland. And then when I called my road service company (whom I had faithfully paid for over 15 years) - they would not tow it under the service contract because I had a ladder strapped to the top of it - claimed it was a "commercial" van, not covered under the contract -

Re: Rough Day Relatively Speaking

Not many things worse than car trouble Scottie, especially so far from home.

Threw a rod in my SUV last October...now I have a nice Chevy Avalanche...and a nice hefty car payment.

Re: Rough Day Relatively Speaking

Car trouble is no fun at all, hopefully this proves to be a cheap fix for you. But knowing whats involved I wish you the best of luck.
