crappy day poll

[groover]

crappy day poll 1. What is one really goofy, non-thinking mix-up you have done? Keys in refrigerator? Baby carseat on the car? 2. If you own a car - what would be the most you would spend to fix it before buying another car? Do you bring the car to the shop with a limit in mind? 3. If you were to buy a car today - any car - what would it be? What would you get if money wasn't an issue? What would you get that is more realistic for your own budget? These questions brought to you by Bean's Crappy Day.

Three-point turn in the dark a week ago while stressed out onto the nose of the world's lowest lowrider camaro with a new paint job. I can't wait to find out how much I'm going to pay for that one. Keys in the refrigerator and running the breadmaker without adding the flour are just daily occurences with me. I wouldn't pay more than a grand to fix my POS car. I love it, but it's an eight year old geo metro with body damage so... If I was to buy a car, I would find out which hybrid sedan was most fuel efficient and had the best repair record and buy it.

And sorry your day is crummy.

[voshell]

[chao-li]

The trash might be worth more!

[neuhoff]

$200 for your car or mine? Cause mine still gets well over 30mpg, so blue book schmoo book, I'm laughing the whole way between monthly ten-gallon fill-ups.

[Louis-Rene]

[compeau]

cheer up, Beaner! 1. Tie between grabbing a can of spray paint and using it as air freshener and trying to make a U-turn and ending up with the front end of my car in a ditch and the back wheels up in the air. 2. Not sure 3. Honda Element or Nissan Murano

[leaton]

tee hee! Did you suddenly have a colored carpet or wall?

[donegan]

Have you ever... put the butter in the wrapper in the microwave? I didn't even think that it was a tin foil wrapper. Sparks were a flying.

[shadwick]

lol... oh the memories... I hopped on BART on my way home to Berkeley from work in Walnut Creek... Got home... Reached for my keys to open my apt door... Forgot there was a car key on there... Luckily my employer (was a personal chef) had a large enough lot that he didn't mind my car spending the night. lol Seriously... Got allllll the way home w/o realizing I'd driven to work. Sigh. =o/ lol

[didio]

I totally had one of those bart moments I forgot that i drove to bart that day and walked home. Got three quarters of the way and had to turn back.

Close one When I worked downtown I took BART daily. One evening I hopped on my train and didn't realize until I was at my home station that I had left my car/house keys on my desk at work.

[rossing]

Awww that sucks.

crapola x. I often think one thing and something else exits my mouth. I cant really think of anything atm, but Im sure I have done something x. If the repair is more than the car is worth, it's history. I do not go with a limit in mind. I do defer what isn't critical if I can't afford it, or do it myself if I can. x. I'd like a mini clubman, but there aren't many for sale used yet. If I had no limit, I'd say a lexus hybrid. My goal is to have a car where the dealer will give you a loaner when it gets serviced. Chrysler doesn't do that. I'm sorry you're having a bad day. My day is okay, though I'm still struggling with the funk. Jury duty is a good distraction.
