So the car is over heating and the check engine light is on... what do you do...I know lets keep driving unitl you blow a head gasket...
Lets just say I have been having fun all day. >:(
-
Someone told my mother not to worry about the "check engine" light, so when the low oil pressure light came on, she ignored that also. New engine.
BTW, do you know why women are such bad drivers? Because men keep telling them this
/---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ is 6".
I hope you-know-who doesn't read this.

Tab, gas prices may have ALL of us not being allowed to drive anymore. Anybody know if J.C. Whitney offers a rifle rack for a Schwinn?

When I was 15-16 I used to strap my .222 to my handlebars and ride out to a farm to hunt woodchucks. Imagine trying to do that now!
I think I've got a moped around here someplace.

Damn, I thought I was the only one whose (ex) wife did this to!! ;D

My (ex) wife kept complaining she had a gas leak in her car, so one day I crawled under the car , looked for 10 minutes, No sign of any leak, She says, "did you fix it", Told her yes, No more gas leak, I think it was in her head.

worse... mother... I bough her that car... It was a 02 tuarus that only had 15k miles on it still smelled new inside 2 years ago... it was her mothers day gift. Only has 31k on it now. Found out what made it over hear... hunk of metal in the raidator...

My (ex) wife used my $140.00 Twin Cuisine Gourmet Chef's knife to tighten a loose hose clamp on her 1987 Olds Cutlass, she just couldn't find the 8 or so screwdrivers I had in my toolbox in the garage,.... >:(
Took the now damaged knife to a "knife pro", and for $45.00, I got a smaller but repaired chef's knife.

This posting is making me wonder. First, an almost tit-for-tat replay of what my ex did warping the head on the Plymouth Voyager with the idiot light blaring NO WATER at her. Now this.
Girlfriend (soon to be ex? ? ?) used the tip of my $95 Wusthoff 8" chef's knife to - ta-da! - pry open a jar lid. She claimed that she didn't know it would hurt the knife. >:(
Is it genetic? ???

Path, TW,
I think y'all just ran into some people who have no respect for other peoples' possesions. Could be raised spoiled or who knows but they need to be out of your life. As in TWs' 'EX'. ;)

Sorry about your day TAB, its been feeling like a Monday thing today. :P Hope you don't have an "ex" post anytime soon.

I hope you-know-who doesn't read this.
You-know-who walked through the door minutes ago and asked me what's going on the forum. Before I got a chance to answer "nothing much", she found this thread..... ;D ;D
I am outta here.... she is typing right now... sounds like a tornado warning.....
Prayer goes up. Bye......

I am not saying they should not drive but they should at least pay attention. last week I came home from work and parked behind my wife's Jeep Liberty. An hour later she had to leave. I was at the computer on this sight heard the car door close , the engine start up and then CRUNCH. Yep she backed into my car. Not her fault that she did not look behind her or check the mirrors. But My fault for being parked there in the first place. Thats her story. I won't go any further than that.

I will refrain from comment (heard as that may be). I will guarantee that those I teach realize the responsibility of a 'loaded' 3000 lb bullet, though.

Does anyone aside from me, see something wrong in the subject title ? Maybe, men shouldn't be allowed to post, without a spell checker.

Hey look.. I really DO understand.. and I am in agreement and have total understanding ( and I hate to side with you all against my own gender..)
but girls aren't the only ones that don't stop when the engine is clattering or the hot button comes on...or the brakes are squalling..or other logical reasons and indicators to STOP the vehicle immediately..
I am mindful of all of those things..
but....... :-[
I did once park in front of a gas meter in a persons front yard drive..get out of the car.. go into the house.. came right back out.. get in and drive right over the damned thing.. busting it and high centering my husbands T-Bird. :o Gas was spewing all over the place .. the city boys had to come down and turn off the gas.. Mark had to come and actually throw the car in reverse to get it off...
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....THAT wasn't a happy day... or night..or the next day or night ..or.... wellllll.. I think you understand. :-\
oh yea.. then there was the time when we were just living together and he bought a new 240Z Datsun. We also had a big Goldwing motorcycle..which he had parked in this "little" garage.. well.. I had driven the new car the few blocks uptown..and came back and was going to park it into the garage.. but I had to really squeeze into the little space that he left by the bike.
I guess .. :-\ I got too close to the side of the garage where there was this big bolt that was sticking out of the frame of the side of the garage.. and ..well.......... :-\ I kinda got too close and it kinda got caught on the side of the car..and I kinda just thought I could gun it a bit and maybe it would come off.. but **shaking my head** it only drove it deeper and longer in the metal of the door and gouged it so bad it really stuck. :'( We owned the hardware store and I walked uptown to the store and he was in the coffee shop for a break and I was bawling..and tried to tell him (amongst about 8 guys) what I had done.
he sighed .. took a deep breath and said he would take care of it.
He moved the bike.. and cranked the wheel and he had to floor it and just rip it loose. (The sound was awful)
I think the only reason I am alive today is because we hadn't been together as a couple for very long.
He went ahead and married me later on and it lasted 25 years.. and no..that wasn't the last of the dumb things I did.. but.. I always stopped when the car made funny noises. :)

I came home from work one night ( 3:30 to midnight) to have my wife casualy mention "Oh, by the way, I loaned your pistol to my cousin." 2:30 am he had it back to me, (yes I know its after midnight, I don't F&#$%@N care) and she had been educated about such things (Thinking, without proper tools) In great obscene vivid detail. ;D

And because he said he has no comments means that he really DOES want to make a comment but won't..but he will be thinking about it. So since he already has all but said he is thinking of a comment but isn't going to say it.. hell he might as well cause he is already in deep shit because he has admitted having the danged comment in his head and it is obviously about me or what he thinks I have done... so...so.... so.... >:(

Unfortunately, Elly May (my pickup) is a chick magnet and not in a good way. She's been rear ended twice and t-boned once.
I have a friend, we will call her Sarah. Sarah ran into a lawyer once with her TrailBlazer. Can you imagine running into a lawyer. If I would have been dating her I would have dumped her on the spot.
-
My last truck was like that...
was hit 8 times in 18 months... 6 of those times I was rear ended stoped at a stop light by a women... 5 out of the 6x they were on thier cell phone when I watched them hit me.
I got really damn good at going the junk yard and getting a new bumber, got to the point I could change it in 20 mins. It helps when you have a truck that was made when they put steel bumbers on them still...

Colorado Man Gets Run Over Twice In One Day in Missouri http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,358502,00.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
E-Mail Print Share:
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Columbia police say a 25-year-old pedestrian was injured after he was run over twice Monday night.
The first car hit Troy Boerner of Foxfield, Colo., about 11:30 p.m., injuring his arm. Police say the woman driving the dark-colored four-door sedan left the scene.
Boerner was struck a second time — this time in the lower leg — when he crawled into the street to alert other drivers so they could help him.
Someone had stopped to help Boerner just before he was struck the second time by a different car that had driven through the intersection. The woman driving that car has not been charged.
Police continue to investigate.
Boerner was taken to a local hospital to be treated. Police say they do not know the extent of his injuries.

Sorry Marshal, I tried, she's right, you're on the couch. I really like you, but she scares me, even long distance, so yes, I'm going to suck up and agree with her. In survival mode it's every man for himself.
Been through PMS, Been through menopause, still a little jumpy.

I don't have PMS.. I've been through menopause..( didn't phase me a bit)..
sooooo..I've never had to deal with the mood thing, so it is NOT a hormonal thing..
it is simply just a "man thing".. ::)
oh and by the way.. he rubbed my neck and back for awhile (after he talked me into letting him back in bed) so he is out of the dog house.(for the time being anyway) ;D ;D hahaha

Or has been, several times and is looking to do so again.

After dealing with puberty, PMS and menopause, I would never suggest anything, no, no, no.
Just a little jumpy around women. ;)

Anubis,
There are a lot of good women out there. Just make sure that she is a partner who shares your goals, realizes money doesn't grow on trees, and will not try to 'change' you or that will 'allow' you to go with the guys (or whatever). There should be no 'allow', there should be mutual understanding, respect and TRUST.

When I was married I would keep asking my wife when was the last time she changed the oil in the brand new car I bought for her. She never knew. Because she never changed it. I asked how many miles she had on her car so I could figure out if it's time to change it. She never knew. I always know about how many miles I have, but she only knew it was more than zero. I took the car in for an oil change and would ask her every so often after that when she last had it changed. I kept telling her if she burned up the engine I wasn't buying her yet another new car. I finally had to take it in for an oil change after 35,000 plus miles without an oil change. It was years, not months, even though I reminded her every month. She got the car in the divorce and soon after, when the engine finally blew, had to trade her still like new car in for a used GEO.
Once during our separation she aired her tires up until one exploded like a bomb and blew the fender OFF of the car. It just exploded while it was parked, and it was interesting to see all the various layers of belts and things in the tire after they seperated. I took the tire gauge I bought for her out of her glovebox to check the other 3 tires and it broke the gauge. Then I used a special high-pressure gauge that maxed out at 250 pounds and it was much higher than that. She must have put 300-400 PSI in the tire that blew up instead of 35 like it was supposed to be. People that stupid don't deserve to live, let alone drive a car, but you can't have your license revoked just for being a Darwin Award candidate. http://www.darwinawards.com/
She's so stupid she missed a turn less than 15 miles away from our house and drove hundreds of miles past it before she realized she was lost. She didn't see the highway. It's a good thing she had a map with her that I gave her. Too bad she can't read one. It took her 8 extra hours to make a 2 hour trip while I was standing there waiting for her to meet me. I was still there the next morning when she finally showed up. She covered 2/3 of Michigan east to west, and west to east, before going north 120 miles. She probably needed another oil change after that but I'm sure she never got one. She's also one of those women who waits until she's almost to the stop sign before she brakes. She ended up past the sign half the time, nosing into cross traffic. That's scary as hell but she never understood what all the screaming was about. But she's not my problem now. Thank God. Someone else can deal with her if she's still alive. I know some women are capable of driving but my ex wasn't one of them.
