My truck took another major shit on me today.
 

I'm thinking of auctioning it off here on GFY, maybe even giving it away in a contest.

I had to have it smog tested so I took it in (today is the last day for it to be smogged by the way). I always wait until the last minute with that truck because I never know if I still want it from day to day.

The guy tells me it didn't pass and that I need to take it somewhere to get fixed. So I take it to a new mechanic (NEVER EVER stray from a trusted mechanic... I just learned the hard way) This new guy put in a clutch for me a couple of weeks ago, and all was fine.

He made the adjustments suggested by the smog tester, and then I went to pick up RedShoe Jr. and then take it to be re-tested. I would have been late picking her up otherwise.

So on the way to the test the clutch drops out. I'm in the middle of the valley at 4:30, it's raining, and I have a tired 3 year old and 4 hard drives, a power supply, a big bag full of DVD's, a Dora the Explorer back pack, a scsi controller card, and no cell phone. So... we walked.

WHAT A FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS!!!

I feel like an abused wife. I keep taking the truck back, no matter how many times it shits on me and leaves me stranded. Stupid fucking truck. I'm temtped to just fuckin' leave it there. Whatever happens to it, happens.

But I figured someone here might like a cool gift to give to a friend, so maybe I'll raffle it off, or give it away, or auction it.

Woah shitty day. I'd suggest getting rid of it if its going to fuck with you like that.

Damn that sucks

why not buy a newer one? Sounds like a hunk of junk. You could get a decent used one for about 10k

trade it in for a new truck. You should get at least $500 for it.

BAH! NEVERMIND...

Sounds like the clutch was installed wrong. This mechanic isn't willing to fix this for free? He'd better.

Also, how would a slipping clutch fail emissions? If you failed your hydrocarbon limit, a new catalitic converter will fix that.

wrong post. ; )

lower it, get some really wide, teenie tiny wheels, ,get some gold mudflaps and curb danglers, airbrush the hood and tailgate with jesus standing next to your truck, get some groovy vinyl designs and it will run like a dream.

Awesome, even better if Jesus is holding a gun in the picture!

Squirt lighter fluid on the wires and say it was stolen and collect the insurance

raffle it off, i could always use a truck in the garage to fix on in my spare time (i need something interesting to get my ass away from this PC lol)

what kind of truck is anyways??

sorry to hear about your shitty day though :Oh crap

It's a 1980 chevy luv.

ah sorry to hear about yer truck woes.

my car just hit 200k miles the other day and i'm not sure how much longer its going to last ;\

This is the story of my truck and my success. http://redshoe.net/success/

Let me and rodent tow it to the desert and blow it up with guns and shit.... We will provide full video coverage....

dude get rid of it and get a better car, there are plenty of good cars for good prices

I'm sure if you pay someone $500 they will take it off your hands.

My other car is a Jag.

dora the explorer rocks

Nice, what model ?

whatever happend to the jag that shitted on you and the family?

wow - thats a shitty deal. :glugglug

lol send it to pimp my ride. I love the story.

I'm teaching it a lesson by leaving it in a field where I towed it to. Next year I'll see if it's ready to apologize. If she's not... then back in the field she goes. It's a damn shame too, because the stereo system cost more than the car itself.

Sell it on ebay

But.. but... that seems so harsh. That's like murder.
