I was going to do a play on words with the "it's cool" part of her email, you know, since her AC is broken and it's over 100 degrees (and definitely NOT cool); but I decided against it despite my inner 1950's dry humor Ryan screaming, "DO IT! DO IT!"

Exclamation point ruined it.
I had some serious road rage on the way home. Construction made it so that two seperate two lane highways that usually merge into 3 lanes now had to merge into 1. Guy next to me wasnt paying attention and the car ahead of him moved ahead, leaving about a car and a half space between them. So i took that oppurtunity to squeeze over. Well fuckface didnt much care for that and gunned it so that i had to swing back or he would have taken my fender off. So we are side by sode and of course he wont do anything but look straight ahead. I didnt throw him the finger or anything. Just let him move ahead. The car behind him let me merge and there was another car ahead of me trying to merge, so i let him. There was now a car between me and fuckface. We finally get beyond the construction and the highway opens up to three lanes again. I swing to the left most lane, zoom past the buffer car and line up side by side with fuckface. He looks over, and i gave him a thumbs up. I sped ahead to the point where the 3 lanes condensed down to 2. I slowed down to match the speed of the slowest car in the slow lane and paced him until fuckface caught up. Kept him trapped for a good five minutes. Asshole.
Um, yeah. It is.
Not really. Its just a lineup of cars. You didnt win anything except higher blood pressure.
worked on my sister's car today in wet humid weather.
She drives an 05 grand am. Its been clicking. She wanted to drop 200 on a repair man. I was going to take it for her today but I couldn't get anyone to come pick me up from the dealer so I fixed it myself. I googled the clicking. It was just some dirty contacts in the multiswitch on the top of the steering column. Remove some dash shit, clean some contacts,whatever, good as new.
or so I thought
The car was parked in a position where it would trigger the "stop turn signal." This is controlled by a paper thin ring of brass that fits around the steering column. When I mounted the multiswitch in, the turn signal switch was sticking out a bit too far, so when I took the car out to test the repair, it bent that little circle of brass.
so now the horn doesn't work.
I'm going to have to pull the fucking steering wheel to replace that little fucking bit of brass.
To make things better, when I went to get a new brass circle, my own car stopped shifting. Its an automatic and it just won't shift up at 42 mph. It will sag back down to 28, shift, get up to 42 again and just drop into neutral. MOTHER SHIT FUCK SHIT COCK SHIT
