My car


This past friday I had quite the experience with my 1995 Ford Windstar (my friends call it the "man van"). So, when I got to school I was told I had a flat, no big deal right? Anyway, my friend Cody and I went to go fix it near the end of the day. So, we had no problem finding the jack or the tire iron, and we began to remove the tire with no problem. As we came close to taking the tire off we decided to take a look at my spare. Well, lucky for me it was flat, but it wasn't just flat. It had a piece of rebar about 8 inches long protruding from it. So, obviously we couldn't change the tire. So, I called my mom and had her bring down the other car with the same size tires (I thought this was quite clever). Cody and I then had no problem changing the tire and putting the spare from the other car onto the my car (maurice). Well, as I was about to leave my day got even better. I put the key into maurice's ignition. The engine turned over but just wouldn't fire. Maurice just would not start, he would rumble then fail every time. So, wat are the first words that come to a teenager's mouth? "STUPID GOD DAMN PIECE OF SHIT." I just could not catch a break. So, Maurice would sadly have to stay in my school's parking lot for the night. Well, the next day it got towed and taken to the shop. The reason for my beloved minivan not to start? When I had taken the jack out of its hold I hit a certain button. The inertia switch as it is called cuts off the flow of gas to the engine when the car is hit. This is to keep it from going boom. well it can also be manually switched on and off. So, the first words to come out of a teenager's mouth? WELL SON OF A BITCH! Well at least the car is fixed.
