What do u do when, during a repair, you get SO F_ FRUSTRATED...
The day started Graet! I have it Made now!
I have a two lane driveway. I even have a new Car.
I also have the Day off!
That should mean I am bopping around town enjoying Life and the Xmas sales...
But wife took it the car on a last minute Day Trip and and now the Day off turns into a Nightmare.
Thought I would play with my Cars, I mean I have the Day off and nothing to do!!
They all run fine, except the car in the left lane, the Volvo which is jacked up, waiting for Parts....
What should I do now? Wax them? Vacuum them? Maybe take a spin?
No, I decide to put an engine block heater in the 85 300D Benz, so I jack it up behind my 87 300D and take it apart despite it being Freezing outside.
Even after I took the starter motor off, I couldnt get the old heater fitting off with any tool.
I mean, who owns a 29mm or 30mm socket in their tool collection? Isnt that the stuff you always rent or borrow or return?
So now I have to go to Sears..but my wife has the Car ( the new one). I could still take the 87 300D with some maneuvering...but guess what is blocking it in the right hand side of the driveway--my 91 Volvo Turbo, which I was playing with last week.
So here I am in the waning light and freezing gloom of a New jersey afternoon waiting for my wife to come home..
Despite starting the morning with 2 great cars....
I am going to do the right thing and STOP now. I am not going outside and flail away at the fitting with vise grips or pipe wrench for 2 hours..and even when my wife comes home in 30 minutes, I am not going to SEARS..
But I am still p>>>
