Oh watta week (long)
this was the first week of my life so far, and it all topped off today. On wednesday i we had a quiz on one of the programming classes, and ofcouse i felt i felt that i blew it. ohhh well after school i get plastered ( don't know why), and when i tun on my computer i feel that i need new shocks, so i blow $1000 on koni yellows and ground control coilovers. ohhh well i let that pass and last night i wanna go out and do some driving, and when i put the car in reverse i hear a loud bang comming from the tranny, but the car works fine. I drive the car and it feels fine, shifts fine, no problems so i assume is one of my motor mounts. Last night i was up late trying to do a project for school. i went to bed like 4 in the morning, and i wake up at 7:00 to go to school. i feel like i have a cold, and i wanna get some dayquill, but insted i get nyquill. ohh boy, i was half asleep thru all my classes. I get called to work early and i go. It's all fine, until i see this big blac excursion tailgating me on the right lane on the higway so i step on the car. It goes to about 5000rpms and i let it slow because i gained enough space on the asshole, then as i was coastin i hear the same loud bang from the tranny i heard last night. my tranny decides to downshift to second i think and i just watch the revs go up, redline, over the redline(ouuuuuuuuuuuch), then the car upshifts and it's fine till i get on the exit, where i have to stay at a red light. i see that my engine wants to die, and i notice the oil light came on (ohhh f*ck), so i put the car in neutral and rev it a bit, the light goes off, ohhh well i hope i will get to a safe spot to pull over and see wassup, but the traffic gets thicker and thicker and i can't pull over anywhere and the water temperatue goes up. Then i get to a spot where i have to go on ramp for like half mile and there is no place to pull over. the oil light comes on and off as it pleases. Finally i get to a place where i can pull over and look at the oil. i let it sit for like 10 minutes and check the oil, it's up to the level, but i decide to put some fresh oil on it, just to cool things down a bit. I can't turn the damn oil cap, so i have to use a hammer to tap it lightly and remove it. Finally it's removed and i see all this oil fumes comming out, that's not good, but i add the oil and start the car. it's all fine now. Tomorrow i gotta go and change it, even if it has only 1400 miles, because i already boiled it. I hope the tranny is fine cause otherwise h22 swap here i come.
sorry for the long post but i had to let it out of my system.
