Or do I not have the worst luck ever?
Seriously... just last week, I simply rode my 300EX into town for something to do. I ran out of gas and got picked up by the cops. All the while throughout the past 6 months, I've been without a car. I haven't been able to get another car or sell my GA. I haven't been about to sell my 'in excellent condition' 300EX. Now, I can't even get a loan, but it doesn't matter since the car I wanted has been sold. Needless to say, I absolutely cannot get a job without a car. That's reality. So... when trying to fix my GA, me and my dad can't. Don't know what's wrong with it nor what to do to it. Because of all this, I've been wanting to put my 300EX back up for sale. So what happens? I get a flat tire... after I just got new tires. Just great, you know? Not to mention that for whatever reason... my left front tire is wearing much faster than the others. At the peak of the tire, it has nearly a third less tread than the other tires. The pressures are identical and when riding, it goes perfectly straight. The shocks are fine too. As is the steering. Nothing is wrong... yet it's doing that. I don't understand it. It always did this, but with these new tires, it seems to only have made it worse for some unknown reason. All of this... and this is me:
Anyways, the topping on the cake was last night... My mom let me take the Sunfire. Basically, I was going to go to Dubois, get a few things at WalMart, and check out a few car dealerships. Meanwhile, I wanted to... see what the ol' Sunfire could do, I guess. What can I tell you? My GA is a Geo Metro compared to it, performance wise. It's much, much, much faster and handles/drives better. Hell, it even brakes alot better, too. All of which is quite understandable. I can tell you the governer is set at about 105... And I'm which Ocnblu, I think that thing almost gave me whiplash. Damn. Anyways... right after I hit it, I came up to a place where cops usually sit. But, being almost dark, I never expect there to be any there... and there isn't, usually. Well... oops. Cop. I actually had some luck... as he didn't chase me and I was going about 90 in a 65 zone. After that, I thought I was actually pretty lucky for once. And I was. However, on my way back, it was the complete opposite. For one, I was running late. I didn't get back to Brookville until about 10:50. According to my License, I can't drive after 11. I don't really pay attention to it since its a stupid rule... but for my parents, I do. So... I was going to stop at Sheetz, fill it up with gas, and get something to eat since I hadn't ate much all day. 10 minutes later, I was on my way home, driving down Main street. I decided to have some more fun (blame that on me feeling lucky and being somewhat careless about what time it was). I now also know that the Sunfire will easily peel out by dropping the clutch at about 3.5k or 4k rpms. Well... after doing that I quickly went through the gears, up to third going about 50. I slowly coasted back down to the speed limit and went on my way. Well... appearantly a cop had seen me. Oops. I see flashing lights and I pull over. Boy... I hate that sensation I get when something like that happens. Anyways, he was nice and just gave me a warning for the speeding and peeling out. However, he pulled me over at 11:10. For being just 10 minutes past 11, he gave me a $106 fine and had to have my parents come get me. Now, I'd rather have a fine for that than the other things, but is that not ridiculous? Not only that, but I had to sit there for more than 30 minutes. I didn't get home until 11:50. Meh... I hate cops. No one should have to deal with them twice in one week.
Some luck, huh?
