Car-ma?

So either someone is playing a trick on me, or I just have bad luck. I got the Taurus back (you remember... the one I felt soo safe in) 2 days ago, and today while driving into Honolulu to go to the law library, the car broke down! The check engine light went on while I was on a stretch of road where there is nothing for about 15 miles. Luckily the lady that lives above me (my boss's mother) is very very nice and she came to pick me up, and bought me lunch. My boss on the other hand is not very helpful or sympathetic, he gave me numbers to tow companies and had me call them while I was stuck on the middle of the road. I found one and called him back and he was not satisfied that they would not take credit cards so tried to have me call more.... yea right.

Everything worked out ok, the other intern is on his way with the new car I will be driving. It is a Mercedes from before I was born that was converted to drive on vegetable oil. It replaced the Mercedes that I was picked up from the airport in that broke down 5 minutes into the drive.

It's a good thing I have sense of humor![/b]

I just wanted to tell you that the title of your post was clever. It made me smile. ;)

Who knew Hawaii could suck so much? :evil:
8O

Hugs to you

:plead: hope this is it for the rest of your time.
Yikes. (((BIG HUGS)))
OMG, Heather. Trouble in paradise! I feel for you...don't know what else to say. Let us know how the car runs on veggie oil. May need to start it back home where the gas is $3.10 :evil:

Maybe get one of those mopeds.
Oh Heather! Bless your heart! You've really been having a time of it, haven't you?

Your story reminds me, somewhat, of my missions trips. Something always goes wrong and Murphy's Law is always in effect. Your attitude is perfect, though, and looking at these things as all part of the grande adventure makes them a little more tolerable.

Besides, it makes for great story telling later on. :wink: :D
I vote moped too...

I guess that is one thing about warm weather states... the cars go on forever. In the land of snow, ice and road treatment chemicals those bad boys would have rusted to their deaths long ago...

Try to enjoy paradise, and don't worry too much about the car situation!
You need to read "The Devil Wears Prada," it sounds like you might identify.
