I don't know if any of you remember how last week I popped by tired and twisted the tire rods into bits...but anyway just to sum that day up:
Car. Run over rock. Pop tire. Twist rods into a pretzel. Sent to mechanic. Charged $500. Alignment not fixed. Wheel is "fixed".
NOT.
I was just driving back from picking my sister up and the whole axle/rod that connects the tire to the car FELL OFF!. And I was passing a mailman so I was in the middle of the road.
-_- After calling mom (who called the police station to see if they can move the car, we were just past it.) and AAA my sister and I are sitting on the side of the road. Well, I should mention my dads a cop and there were like no calls today because first one cop shows up, who is my dad's friend and who I know...and is my spanish teachers husband. He looks at the car. Looks at me and says "Did you JUST get this fixed?". So, we talked. He says how my dad's going to be pissed off. We call mom. Another cop shows up. Looks at the car. Says: "Ges!". Now with the two cops cars, they make a "path" to direct traffic. One is behind my car, and another is to the right on the side of the road. Now my mom called the garage so they send their wrecker immediately. A minute or two passes.....ANOTHER cop shows, who also happens to be a friend of my fathers (I don't know about the 2nd cop...). He says he's going to really yell at the mechanic when he gets there. Repeats that my dad's going to be pissed.
A minute or so goes by...another friend of my dad's comes up the road and talks. And I repeat, says my dad's going to be pissed and the four of them talk about how my wheel completely broke off and how the mechanic didn't fix it.
And my dad's in Atlanic City, so the first cop remembers how his car is still at the police station. So, we just remembered to cancel AAA (the garage truck is coming) and he drives us the whole 5 seconds to the station and I use my dad's car and I drive home.
So, what have we learned from this story? How many cops does it take to direct traffic around a car....It's kinda funny when you think about it...Except take out the fact that I was shaking with anger while getting out of the car after it happened. Just think, I get three cops because there was nothing going on.
