lol one time i was in the middle lane of a three lane road at a stoplight and as soon as it turned green my car died. i didnt know what to do cause there wasnt a chance in hell i could push the car myself, and in my rearview mirror was a wall of cars coming up at like 60 mph. i put the emergency flashers on and prayed for my car not to get smashed. just a few seconds before i was going **** my pants, some off-road buggie pulled up and towed me to a safe spot. boy does it hurt inside to see your stang up on a tow truck[sm=sigh.gif]

Good day/bad day----you be the judge

April 2001 i'm driving back from the inlaws and in the my farm truck on Bluegrass Pkwy--70+mph.

wife 8 mos preganat and asleep, 2 year old in the car seat between us.

a Wild Turkey files out of a tree just on the side of the highway. i see it coming and only enough time to let off the gas.

turkey hits my windsheild at the passenger side 'a pilar' and busts through the wind shield. i hold the steering wheel with the left hand, hold up the glass which is about to do a quisenart on my 2 year old. Turkey hits the roof of the truck and i dont know how, but if busts out the back glass and ends up dead in the bed of the truck.

We lived---praise God!!

on the "no body helps" deal---it was Easter Weekend and my right arm is cut to peices---completely red with blood, my truck has the glass crashed out --- front and back----i have my flashers on. This goes on for 15 minutes and no one stops!!!!!!! It was Easter Weekend and you think someone would have a 'heart' and stop!! At least 100 car go by and finally the state police comes up.

Not that anyone short of a EMS tech could have really helped, but what if i did not have a cell phone??

Good or Bad? i guess all is well that ends well.

my friend and i had just done a bunch of stuff to my car including pulleys and i was sitting on a sort of on-ramp to get onto a semi-busy road and my radio shut off and my car just died. i tried putting on my flashers but they didnt work so people were starting to build up behind me and beep. even after i got out of my car they didnt get the hint. so when i opened my hood one of the battery cables was off and to the side. after putting everything back together we (I) forgot to tighten down the terminals and all i had to do was put it back on heh

ORIGINAL: primetime5.0
i have a worse story, my car broke the day i was supposed to lose my virginity. I hit a pothole and snapped the alternator bracket off of the head shearing the bolts off... TOP THAT!
Thats pretty bad but mine sucks also. I was driving on Friday (comming home from work) and I heard some clanking in my motor. I looked down at my gauges and everything was fine. I started to pull over. By the time I got to the center lane my oil light was on and by the time I got into the far right lane the car had shut off and the motor was BLOWN!!! This is my DD and now I have no money and no car. I cant work on my stang anymore because I still owe like 2,500 on the Intrepid (car I just blew) and I need a new car. TOP THAT!
