| | since i've been in austin, and since i've had my car up here, i haven't had any kind of car problems. well nothing major....i've always heard stories from people who drove their car up to austin just to get it smacked around by the incredibly terrible roads of downtown austin, the incredibly bad drivers of austin or some drunk punk ass douche who decided your car was the best place for them to try their new wrestling moves.
anyways, since starting to work for Dell, i just started having some car problems, and it's not really the kind of car problems that normal people have on normal days. (getting into an accident, running into a pole, running over a curb, etc.) anyways here's the first story
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE FLOOR?
it was the weekend that xiao and lex were gonna come visit. xiao kind of took off without saying bye to me (jerk) anyways lex was coming into town for obvious reasons...(this was the weekend of ACL) and it was just hao liu's (former roomate) 21st birthday. so it was like...the first week of work and i was just ready for the weekend to hang out. i was pretty excited to be able to just chill with friends like we did in college, so i ended up going over to mok's with the promise of playing bang! so i just ended up going to 7-11 and buying some beer to celebrate hao's birthday and for friends coming to visit. so i end up parking right in front of mok's apartment, also known as chesnut place or something like that.
when i finally get to mok's, noone is there, well besides steven tu and jonathan (their other roommate) anyways i end up calling lex and finding out he's at lantern lanes in grace kao and elaine dea's apartment doing tech support. so i head on over, i walk over because it's only a 3 minute walk or so...maybe longer for me because i walk really slow...but anyways i eventually make my way over there and hang out at lantern for a bit. we aren't even there for an entire hour, and head back to chesnut because mok and peter are back. when we finally get there, everyone decides to go to hao's place because there's more room at hao's place. so i decided i would drive over there and as i'm walking to my car (it's about 11:30pm by this time) and i see something on the floor. i walk up to it and kinda nudge it with my foot, meanwhile asking lex and karen "what is this?" i soon realize that it's one of my sideview mirrors...sitting on the floor in front of my car. i pick it up and see that the mirror itself is smashed and there's glass from the mirror on the floor. so...naturally i'm pissed, but i think i was too tired to do anything...anyways here's the mirror
replacing it ended up costing me $200 =[ - my guess....is either:
1. some drunk douchebag from ACL decided that smashing my window would be fun and just ran off
2. some idiot austin driver doesnt know how to drive and drove to freaking close to my car and just drove off ...sigh
second story:
i was driving around and i noticed there was a crack on my door handle from the inside. anyways i decided to go out for lunch this past week and a couple of my co-workers came along with me. we decided we would head over to subway which is fairly close by where we work. anyways we arrive at subway and im ready to get out of my car as i grab my door handle, i hear something snap. to my dismay, my freaking door handle broke from the inside. i cant open the door from the inside anymore, so i have to take my car to a autozone or something to see if i can get it fixed myself or if i have to drop it off in the shop.
here are the pictures i took
i wonder how much this sucker is going to cost me... =[
