Soo...About last night

Hello Thirdgen, I have a story for everybody...
Last night I was "hanging" with some lady friends... which resulted in good times had by all....anyway, I was omw home when Suddenly my wheel locked up..my car has been acting very funky cause of code 42 problems which, lets be honest I am too lazy to fix but have the parts....lmao

anywho the steering wheel locked up I tried turning the key but nothing....I was on a side road that is parallel to a major Highway, my car was veering to the median between...

In a last ditch effort I decided a steering column was a cheap fix than trashing my beloved into oncoming Highway Traffic...After a big jerk and a few snaps I managed to get her off the side road and into...

An auto body shop...o dear she was stuck and out of habit I threw it in Park...little did i know that It would take the disabling of my shift cable to get it to move....so I called my Towing Company, and this was at 2 AM...2 hours go by and they call me back..."Sorry we are unable to tow your vehicle until the autobody shop opens...(@ 7am).... for leading me to this road I thought to myself about myself... much of that followed...I called my parents to pick me up so I could catch some Zs...yeah the Auto body guys were not frusterated that I was cocked in 3 different stalls they were examining my Bird.

FINALLY got it home, went back to sleep then work....my dad pulled it apart for me while I was nodding off at my desk job taking no calls for 8 hours....

End of this long winded story is, I need a new steering column...



on the bright side, I isnt whobbly anymore


Fix those loose wheels or face the inevitable breaking of wheel
