Nah. Your house sounds like a much better place to be. You've got BBQ. And teenage daughters. And one's on the rebound!

let me tell ya what ya get with my oldest Daughter.

little ingrate.

I buy her a car, 2 1/2 years ago. nothing special 96 escort wagon. New Cly head, timing belt/gaskets/water pump/Eng resealed, car gets full detail.

now it's not the best looking car, has some dents, etc but hea it's a first car.

She hates it, doesn't get her license for another 2 years. why cause she has mom to drive her around and she doesn't want to be seen driving a "POS" all the while I'm paying insurance and driving it around every once in a while to keep it fresh.

Mom goes back to work after not having to for the last four years(says she needs to get out of the house more) different subject.

So after this she has her friends picking her up and taking her to work cause taxi mom is gone. this goes on for a little while and after calling Taxi that doesn't show up and friends start to not want to give her rides.

Does she get her license? nope. "I'll walk to work".

That last about two times.

It's 2 miles to her work.

So all of a sudden she gets her license and starts driving the Escort I bought for her 2 1/2 years ago for her 16th b-day.

so two months later shes drives this thing everywhere, All I hear is what a POS it is. I drove this car back and forth to work for a short spell and and it gets 30 miles to gallon. A/C heat cruise all work, stereo works. everything! not a POS just not the pretty car.

So I get a chance to drive her around the other day, and the headlamp on the right side is out, brake light bulb is out and there is a clunk in the rear and the coolant light is on.

I ask what the hell have you been doing?

"NOTHING"

couple minutes later while driving, "I forgot and drove around with the emergency brake on"........... "a couple of times"

WHAT? what were you thinking?

"I don't know"

tick tick tick

a few more minutes go bye.


"oh, I forgot about the railroad tracks"

what about the railroad tracks?

" I forgot they were there and flew over them"

wait for it.............................


" a couple of times"

WHAT? What do you mean a couple of times?

here it comes..........


" I don't know, I forgot they were there"

A COUPLE OF TIMES?

"yea"

I'm taking your car into the shop!

" what am I going to drive"

WHAT?

I told here to drive the Jeep.

So I take the car into the shop and get the oil changed get it safety checked. She broke the U-clamp on the rear sway bar(clunk noise) the splash Shields in the front are gone(squeak from tensioner) the over flow bottle is empty (coolant light), so ordered the u-clamp and splash shields, brakes are still ok, noticed a little play in steering so had the inner tie rods replaced. And replaced the headlamp bulb. Everything else seemed fine.

Ok, no biggie I pay the bill $300 bucks.






wait for it.........................................







I get a call this afternoon......................... "Dad, what did you do to my radio"........




" I plug in my IPOD and I can't hear it".................





I didn't do anything to the radio, you have another problem!



..........



"OH, I thought you......."



no I didn't do anything, I'm taking your car tomorrow to have the brkt and splash shields installed so make sure you have gas in your car this time!( I put $10 bucks in last time)




WAIT FOR IT!................







" your driving the car you put gas in it"






WHAT? I'm doing all of this and you don't even thank me and you want me to put gas in your car?






"YEA, your driving it"



so Pete come on over you can have her! but remember that no return policy? it applies here too.

Ed

Let us know how that goes.





Kevin at Black Magic showed me an easy way to tell if you have a bad BJ, if you jack up the truck and look for up and down play.

When the wheel is up in the air, take a metal rod or whatever, and with one end on the ground, push up against the bottom of the tire, causing it to swivel up and down. If you notice excessive play in that joint, up or down..you have a BJ on the way out.
Will do. Sounds fun...I think I would just be doing "my own thing" so to speak.

My POS jack is whats keeping me from doing that properly. It BARELY gets my wheels up off the ground when I stack boards under the jack! Anything sturdy enough to do the job wont fint under the wheel! One day Ill invest in a good jack!

Yea....but never ever complain...just keep on smilin...

Well then that's a good deal. Your other daughter would be a bit on the old side for me. A 1 year gap is much better.

And hopefully she can actually drive!

I bet they are regular people. They just spread rumors about the place to keep people from moving there.

Gezz Ed....

I say cut her off for a couple months. Seriously. Girl needs a reality check or something! She needs to learn that not all things just "happen" and you have to work for things in life.....

For my 16th,(well the Christmas before I turned 16) my dad bought me an 86 Camry. I loved that car. It got great mileage, easy to drive. Had to turn off the AC if you wanted to go up a hill (LOL) but otherwise, it was a fun car.

Heh..that was a cool Christmas. He had the car parked outside the house for a few weeks before they gave it to me, I had no idea.
