I just had the most stressful 30 minutes of my life!
I went to get Chase from school. I hadn’t eaten yet, so we went to Del Taco which is down the street. I get in the drive thru, and turn the Bug off, because it is so loud. I go to turn it back on and it is just making sounds and not turning over. I am SO bad in these situations, because I instantly break out in a sweat and am freaking out inside, all the while trying to maintain composure. I’m freaking out about the guy behind me (who backed out), and the guy on the intercom, asking me if it won’t start. I am trying for a good 3 minutes to start it. So all the Del Taco dudes come out and push the car to a spot. I went in and paid, and thanked them. I called Jeremy, and he asked me if I turned the key all the way. Well the key has 2 positions. It needs to be all the way over to the right to start. We also have a button you need to push to start the car. So, I go try, and the car starts up right away. HaHa! Idiot!
Then we are on our merry ole’ way, and we are at the intersection and the gas pedal, which is an old roller thing that they used to use a loooong time ago, comes off the bolt. This happens occasionally, and the previous owner had rigged it up, and occasionally the little tiny nut will fall off, and then the pedal will slide right off the bolt. It’s uh not fun, especially trying to find that tiny little nut and then screwing it back on there. So, it comes off, the light just turned green, and I scream “SHIT!!!” Panic sets in again. The bitch behind be starts HONKING at me, and I was so freaking close to walking up to her window and knocking the shit out of her. So, I take my foot off the clutch while it’s in gear, and the car jerks to the right…Chase starts panicking, and nearly crying. I inch up to the crosswalk while letting the clutch out a little, and have to throw it in nuetral, and get out in the street with my ass hanging out to get the bolt in the hole on the pedal and hold it in place with my foot, until I got to my street, all of this quick like ninja before the light turned green again. I didn’t want that bitch behind me to honk at me again and get her ass beat.
Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! the kids have vowed to never ride in the Bug again until it is all done. HaHaHaHa!
