i'm driving to class yesterday night, right in the middle of friggin rush-hour traffic no-less, and i'm close to school. i mean like less then 5 minutes away, i slow for a red-light that eventually turns green just before i've totally stopped, so i take betty out of gear, then try to put her into 1st, when nothing happens. the gear-shift knob feels like it's in jelly and won't find any gear. i have no idea how, but i manage to coast betty until she's in the right-hand turn lane that leaves a strip-mall so i'm not actually in a lane of traffic, oh yea, and this is right infront of potomic mills, i mean right infront.so i freaked out somewhat, i mean betty's never done that to me, ever. if something happened, it was at home, or real close, especially not before class. eventually i get ahold of mi mom and tell her what happened, and to head on over. then i called AAA, after being up on hold for friggin ever they take my call and get a truck sent out. 2 hours later mr.tow-truck comes, we tell'm where we want it to go [fairfax vw. sarah where are yew when i need you and yer dad's car-shop!]. now we drove home thinking all was well. all was not well, i mean come on, things going easy for me? never. apparently us wanting them to drop it off at fairfax vw wasn't good cause her driver wasn't supposed to leave the area, or else it'd be forever for someone else to get towed [so i could understand]. so she said she'd drop it off at a local exxon station and then call aaa up and get them to have another person come take it to fairfax vw, so that was good.
now we just had to go home and wait before going up to fairfax vw to fill out the night-drop thing. but when i went up there to fill it out, i couldn't find betty's key. so i had to go home to get my cell and a flashlight so i could look even more incase he hid it. when i got back i looked some more, turns out it wasn't there. so i call aaa and wait for another 10 minutes, only to hear the tow-truck guy already dropped it into the box. so i write up the little thing about betty and drop it into the box.
oh, and i actually did want to go to class..since it was my drawing class. now however i don't want to go to class and work, but nooo i "have" to. gah.
scud.
update: i managed to get ahold of miss.sarah and yay, i might take betty to her poppa's place. hafta wait to hear back from the fairfaxvw place [which likes to charge an arm and a leg for everything.]
