Default A Bad Day to be my car...or my wallet...

So, I just had to vent, my car decided that she was mad at me this morning. I got up early to take my g/f home, and my power steering pump decides to take a crap on me. Now, with basically manual steering, I drive to Advance and order my pump, yay. I buy some antifreeze to do a coolant exchange on my car so that I can have fresh coolant for the winter. Make it back to the house, park in my spot...
"is that antifreeze I smell?"
"wow, there's a trail of liquid behind my car!"
:touches liquid to tongue:
"oh s***!!!"
pens hood:

Oh, the water pump is f***ing broken!
:Calls advance and orders w/p:

That's my day, I'm going back to bed.

ok that sucks and all but here, check this out... i bet ur gonna think what u have goin on is no big deal,lol

oil pump siezed, threw 2 rods, i got a new(used) motor, threw my heads/intake on it, put it in, tapped like all hell... lifters pumped up, no more tap, finnish hooking the rest of the exhaust up, and theres a single tap now. take the whole thng apart again, to find a spun roller lifter, so now my cam and lifters are trash. on top of that my water pump was leaking, so i need to replace it. my batt wont hold a charge for anything, prob from sitting dead...and some other little ****.

so yea, water pump and ps pump sucks sure... but it could be worse... atleast those are all kinds of easy to get to, and relativly cheap
