Really?

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO DEGREES? REALLY?

Today was horrible. Just bloody horrible. It started off last night. My wife told me that her clutch felt "squishy" while she was driving home. I told her to take it easy until I can get it into the shop to take a look at it. Well. That didn't last long. Today she called me from the middle of an intersection. The car died. I get there and sure enough. It wouldn't go into first gear. After pushing the car over to a nearby gas station, I went in, grabbed a bottle of water and sat in my air conditioned truck. Which is when I took this gem of a pic!

I'm going to say it again because I think it's kind of important ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO DEGREES! Are you frigging kidding me?

Anyway, I call AAA and they send a tow truck my way. Good old AAA. They're good to have but sheeeesh!! Do they piss me off something fierce! Turns, out AAA will only pay for 5 miles worth of towing. The BMW dealer is 30 miles away. When all was said and done, I was plopping 125 bones into this idiot' tow truck driver's hand. REALLY? Sometimes I hate my life.

Right now my poor car is up at the hospital getting surgery. They'll take good care of her (and my wallet) Transmissions and/or clutches are NEVER, let me repeat- NEVER cheap!

Oh, want to know why this happened? I'll tell you why! I made the last payment on the damn car! Pay it off and everything goes to hell!

Alright, I'm done ranting!

You should get the AAA Plus. That's what we have - good for 100 miles of towing. It would have only cost you $80 to upgrade. It's saved me more than once...

Did you say BMW?! How I love the BMW's! Sorry to hear you had such a hard time. I could never live anywhere where it was 120+ degrees. I would die. Matt would die. We would die.
