So, one morning, I don't even remember what day it was but it was roughly 2 and a half weeks ago, I left my place around 7am to go to work, I was driving fine & everything felt normal, my car didn't sound like it was dying or anything like that. I had The Dave Chapelle Show playing in my cars screen thingy, I'd watch while I'm at a red light then just listen to his jokes when I start driving, then all of a sudden my car's steering wheel just locks. At first I was thinking did I hit something to make the car's steering wheel lock? then I braked cause there was a red light (I was already in neutral when my car's steering wheel locked) so I kind of didn't take notice of it until I realized the whole car just stopped, I tried turning my key again but there was no cranking whatsoever.. Dave Chappelle was still going though so I knew it wasn't the battery.. I panicked so bad & I was soo pissed off cause I was going to be late to work after taking 3 days off cause I burnt my forehead pretty badly while I was cooking & boiling hot oil exploded into my face! I looked disgusting.. Judge for yourself! & yes.. It took me a while to heal, like a good 2-3 weeks.
1) I have a burnt forehead that I can't possibly hide
2) I'm going to be late to work after taking 3 days off, mind you I'm still on probation so I was scared I'd lose my job
3) Bills was coming at me left, right & center. Felt like I wasn't going to be able to cope!
4) My car breaks down in the middle of the road during peak hour traffic
5) I have dickheads getting pissed off at me because I caused the traffic and
6) I had no idea who to call or what to do because I was just stressing & panicking like an idiot.


I then managed to call Ray first & explain to him everything that happened & what I should do etc. He told me to call a tow truck & maybe get my brother to come pick me up, he couldn't do anything because he working at a job site that was like an hour away. So I called my brother & it took him forever to get to me, since he isn't from my area. The tow truck even beat him by like 20 minutes or something to get to me! But oh well, as long as he came & I had a lift to work..
Ended up towing my car to the nearest mechanic & I left it there for the day/night. The next day that mechanic calls Ray & tells him that he doesn't know what the problem is, but it's most probably caused by the after-market alarm we got installed a couple months ago. My mind was just filled with "FUCK YOU ALARM GUY YOU SHIT CUNT!!!" over & over again. So, from there we had to tow it to another mechanic & he's had my car for the past 2 & a half weeks.. The funny thing is, is that he actually clutch started the car then took it to another mechanic.. An auto electrician this time and got him to fix up all the wires & crap that the alarm guy fucked up. We paid him & he explained that he gets his share & he'll pay the mechanic that's doing the car now. What's fucked up is that he has not done ANYTHING to the car.. Apparently he replaced the starter motor? Apparently he changed this relay? he didn't change shit! All he did was bring my car to an auto electrician & have him fix up all the wires & he gets a cut of my money for doing NOTHING. Are you serious right now? That was such a dirty go & now he can't even give us a day when the car will be ready!? it's been nearly 3 weeks!!! you can change a whole engine in that time frame! What the fuck! Then when we want to pick up the car he can't answer his phone? All he can do is send lousy text messages saying sorry the car isn't ready blahblah, like you can't answer your fucking phone? SO unprofessional of him.
Right now though, I'm just playing the waiting game.. Waiting till that dickhead tells me when my car will be ready. Fuck it, he can keep his cut, Ray & I know what he's going through right now (which I won't go into further detail with because that's just really disrespectful) so whatever fuck it, you'll get your karma. I won't be bringing any of our cars to you no more though except if I change my tyres. That's it. I won't mention where this mechanic is located or who it is or whatever cause at the end of the day, it's still business & that shouldn't mix with personal problems/issues. He's an okay mechanic when he wants to be but he can also be a selfish dickhead when he wants to as well. argh. worst.
