Dammit

I just can't stay away, can I?

The only movie I can't watch is Night of the Living Dead. Seriously, I get maybe 4 mintues into the film and have to turn it off. So far today I've watched two specials on the Amityville Horror (History Channel), Halloween 2 and 4 (AMC), Curse of the Exorcist (E!) and I'm now watching something on scream queens (E!). I also managed to pretty much finish up my laundry, and make 2 cassettes for whenever we get the Camaro out of the shop.

I'm now off to make some tomato soup, because I rock. Maybe even a grilled cheese sammich to go along with the soup.

That is all.

No More

OK, I won't be blogging for the next couple days as I have nothing to say. At this point, it would just be more of my bitching, and it's obvious no one wants to hear anymore of it, so I won't even bother. I will, however, leave you on this cheery note.

Why life sucks:
-No job
-No car (as you all know, it's still fucking dead)
-I'll be home all by myself on my favorite holiday (Morgan works and has no way down here anyway)
-Life is generally giving me a nice assfuck (without lube, mind you)
-I can't sleep

Happy fucking Halloween.

That is all.

Bright Idea

Morgan had the genius idea to take the car to the guy Don recommended from now on. Very good idea, dear.

I'm alternating between Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Bless The Child (Jimmy Smits is in the movie!). Yeah, I'm a bucket of fun this weekend.

That is all.

Um, No

No word on the car, and the jackpipes have left for the day. Does anyone else find this to be fucking ridiculous or am I being too demanding? I could understand if they told me they had other cars to work on, but that's not the case. They said my car was first on Friday, and they'd concentrate on it all day today. I didn't call out there today just to see if they'd take the 4 seconds to telephone me and keep me apprised of what was doing. If I've not heard anything by noon on Monday, my Mom and I are driving out there to see what the fuck's going on. They'll have had the car all day Friday, today and half a day Monday by the time I get out there; long enough to have figured out what's wrong. I've learned my lesson and will never take any car there again; it's to the dealer for me (only because of Morgan's discount, LOL). At least the dealer uses new parts, and offers a warranty too.

Again, I want to smack someone.

That is all.

Kitt, Help!

Where was Kitt when Michael needed him?

That is all.

Whatever

The people who are "repairing" the Camaro are fucking idiots. So far they've replaced the ignition module, the ignition switch and the coil. The car still won't start. Thankfully they put the old coil back on the car since it was over $100, and I didn't need the fucking part. Now they're going to replace the crank sensor, and if they break it during removal, the car won't be fixed until Monday at the earliest since they'll have to drop the oil pan. Fucking morons. I'm going to be pissed when it's either the distributor or the key. I'm calling in the morning and having them replace the distributor too, since they're doing the plugs, wires and cap/rotor as well. Second Friday in two weeks that we've not had the fucking car. Apparently this is going to be an every-other-week thing.

Now I'm pissed.

Thankfully my Morgan is still sweet. : )

That is all.

Fucking Yahoos

Well it is the ignition module, but the assfuck I took the car to is taking forever to fix the car. It's a 25 minute job if you know what you're doing; he's had the car all day. I guess there's 15 different ignition modules for the Camaro, and it has to be matched up to the key or the car won't start. I'm guessing I won't have my car until Monday, and that'll be after I get the part myself, and take it to them. The Camaro also needed plugs, wires and the cap/rotor thingie. So I'm going to be stuck without a car all weekend, because I was dumb and took the car to those yahoos instead of taking it to the Chevy dealer like I should have. Why oh why can't Don work on Chevy's too?

I'm watching The Enforcer and wanting to punch someone.

That is all.

IGNITION MODULE

Dear called me from work and yelled IGNITION MODULE in my ear. After some probing, I gathered from him that the Camaro probably has a bad ignition module. A mechanic at the dealership had a 92 Camaro that was so bad with ignition modules, the guy actually carried a spare with him in the car. It isn't the timing chain, though, since everything spins when the engine is turned over, it just won't start. That's cool, since the timing chain replacement isn't a cheap fix in the slightest. Hopefully the Maro will be fixed tomorrow afternoon; that would rock.

So yeah, I was stranded in Strongsville for two days, but it wasn't bad since I was with the Morgan.

Heehee, Mr. A+ Certification trying to figure out a Compaq printer.

That is all.

Blah

Car is still broken and Morgan won't get off the couch so we can figure out what's wrong.

I'm fucking starving.

I really need to throw something.

That is all.

Right

Well, Morgan managed to break the car today. We were in his parking lot, on the way from his Nana's house, and the car just stopped running. We've not been able to get it running since, so I think it's probably the computer. It'll turn over, just not catch. Either the computer or the fuel pump, both of which aren't too bad to take care of. It didn't make any weird noises or anything; just stopped running. The engine sounds normal when it's turning over, it just won't start. The fluid levels are all fine, and it's not reading anything funny on the dash either (no oil lights or temperature lights come on). Damn Chevy.

On a related note, I've just about had it with these games. Not related to the car mind you, but related to the person who broke the car. You can't have everything, and have me too. It's OK to have friends, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. The road goes both ways. I know, no one has any idea what I'm talking about, and I like it that way. Ha.

I think I'll chase Abie around the apartment while Morgan's at school. I would go poke the car, but he has the car keys, so I can't get in to the damned thing. Probably best, since I'd more than likely wind up breaking something else, anyway.

That is all.

Bored

I have an interview tomorrow morning, woohoo.

Halloween is Sunday. Per usual, I won't do anything special for my favorite holiday. I hate not having any friends who appreciate Halloween as much as I do.

CSI Miami is so lame compared to Vegas. Or maybe it's just David Caruso's crappy acting that brings the rest of the cast down. Yeah, I think it's Caruso's crappy acting. LOL

Guess I'll do some laundry.

That is all.

Speeding AudBlog Post

It's Clean!

I was bored today, so I spent 3 hours cleaning the Maro. I tore the console apart and vacuumed out all of the cigarette ashes, cleaned all around the stereo and heater controls and even found the light for the shift lever (it's burned out). I need to get to Auto Zone or Wal-Mart for a new bulb, so the console is currently torn apart. I also Armor All'd the entire fucking interior, and vacuumed out everything as well. It smells 100 times better than it did; smoking is icky. I like the Maro more and more everyday, which should be pretty fucking obvious. LOL

I beat a Corrado on the way home from Morgan's this morning. I beat my dream VW in a V6 Camaro. I should be more crushed than I am at the moment. LOL

Gotta go pick up dinner from Domino's. The new doublemelt pizza better not suck!

That is all.

Sniff

I love the Camaro more and more every day, but I feel the VW fit my personality much better than the Maro. Oh well, the Maro is Morgan's car anyway....

OK, I'm off to do something.

That is all.

More Stuff

I must share. At a rest stop in Indiana, Morgan and I pulled over so I could pee and he could smoke. I had finished pottying, and was in the car warming up, when Morgan comes over and tells me to get out of the car. I'm like, dear I'm warm so this better be good. I get out and Morgan tells me the old Amish guy next to us pointed to the Camaro and said "that is a tool for evil." In reference to the Camaro; tool for evil. Oh my. That has prompted us to decide on a new plate for the Camaro. We're ordering that when we transfer title for the Maro. Bwaaaaaahahahaah.

Few more photos of Morgan and Mecha:
Posing out by the Maro
No idea what they're doing
Aww, how cute

A building I thought was cool in Chicago:
I think weird things are cool

Again, it was a good time but next time we do a trip like that we're going to make sure we have the time to stay overnight at our destination so we can start out fresh for our trip home. Oh, and sleeping before we leave would be good too. LOL But I got to spend time with my Morgan, and that's all that matters.

That is all.

Nice Idea

OK then, we're not doing that again. LOL Went to Chicago Tuesday night after Morgan got home from school. We wound up leaving Strongsville around 1AM, and we arrived in Chicago at 7:45AM Chicago time. Just in time for rush hour traffic, woohoo! Anyway, we were on the South side of Chicago, and I knew we were in trouble when we saw a tombstone sales place that had this written on the building: Tombstones made while you wait. Oh.My.Goodness

In Chicago we saw the Sears Tower, Bulls Stadium and various other things. I saw a Filene's Basement, Bloomingdale's Home and a ton of other stores I'd have loved to stop at, but Morgan was trying to not kill other people on the road, so we thought it wise to simply get out of Chicago before someone hit the Camaro.
I saw Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio in Oak Park, IL and a few of the homes he designed as well. Morgan bought me a Slurpee from 7-11 (woohoo!) as I seem to be obsessed with 7-11 Slurpees.

We then arrived in DeKalb, IL at Northern Illinois University to visit Mecha (Morgan's friend). We hung out there, went to Pizza Hut twice then left for home around 9PM Wednesday night. We finally got home at 8AM today (Thursday). I was stopping at every rest stop along the way to try and wake myself up, and finally had to have Morgan drive home from around Sandusky (Cedar Point). I drove from the middle of Indiana to Sandusky, OH. Not too bad, I don't think. The Camaro and I are getting along much better, as long as it doesn't rain. LOL
Some photos from our trip:

I'm going to rustle around in the fridge, then go to bed. I've slept 4 hours (9AM-1PM today) since Monday at noon. Woohoo!

I would have AudBlogged along the way but apparently my cell phone isn't any good past Toledo. Alltell's not even in Illinois and I don't think it's in Indiana either. Fucking shit.

Obviously the Maro ran fine the whole way there and back, so I'm now confident in its dependability.

That is all.

OooooooooK

Guess we're going to Chicago. I'll AudBlog along the way.

That is all.

Wow

NeverRunning280Z (5:31:22 AM): I pulled my Wankel out in the garage today.
NeverRunning280Z (5:31:25 AM): It was pretty dirty.
LoveDocMartens (5:31:28 AM): LMAO
LoveDocMartens (5:31:31 AM): Overshare
NeverRunning280Z (5:31:34 AM): I had Bob help be clean it.
NeverRunning280Z (5:31:37 AM): me*
LoveDocMartens (5:31:42 AM): Oh my
NeverRunning280Z (5:31:48 AM): He sure can shine my Wankel nice!

Cut us some slack, it's assfuck o'clock in the morning.

Yes, Morgan finally arrived. After he nearly hit a cop in Perry Township, and it wouldn't have even been his fault.

That is all.

By The Way

Morgan wanted to say hi to everyone:

Isn't he the best? LOL Gotta love his crappy webcam. For being such a computer freak, he sure has crappy accessories.

That is all.

I Couldn't Make This Up

I swear, this was in the paper under general employment:
Hot Dancers wanted with pay. 330-830-8656
What the fuck type of ad is that?

Morgan should have been here by now; I'm starting to get worried. Fifteen more minutes and I'm going to have to start walking to find his silly ass.

I'm off to worry.

That is all.

More Camaro Photos

Woohoo, here's a photo of the missing ground effect insert, and also a photo of the Camaro all wet and posed for action. Mmmmm, baby. The Morgan wound up coming down last night after work, so we ran over to Turtle's house for a bit, then came home and watched TV. Well, I watched TV and Morgan looked for Camaro parts on the Interweb. He was supposed to call when he got to work today (left from here instead of going home first), but he hasn't so I hope he's OK and didn't wreck the Maro (it's raining). Grrrrrrr.

Anyway, the photos:
Missing Ground Effect Insert
Wet Camaro Front

I hear my spaghetti boiling, so I must go.

That is all.

Another Camaro Photo

Here's a photo I took of the Camaro last night at Morgan's house. Mind you, the photo is pretty dark, but look at the rims. They look brand new!

That is all.

Sigh

My goodness, this isn't the message you want to receive when signing onto your Yahoo messenger program:
MorganYahoo: deer evasion at 80 mph is hard but doable
Sigh...Thankfully he also said he's OK, the car's OK and he didn't manage to kill anything else on the car. He's at work until 5, so I guess I'll find out after then what happened with the deer. That boy, I swear...

I can't get photos of the missing ground effect today as I don't have the car. Morgan may come down tonight, but he'll probably wait until Tuesday night after school. So, I should be able to post photos by Wednesday night at the latest. Not that anyone cares, I'm just saying.

Helpful tip for the day: If the cover for your car's coil wire is missing, don't spray the coil wire with the water hose.

That is all.
