the saga continues...
so i pull off of Fayette and hop out of Needa. i decide against driving w/o the wipers as i am not fond of being splattered or causing the splattering of any other human across local highways. i decide to check on my account balance to happily discover my refund has been deposited. [GREAT!] with bittersweet conviction, i proceed to find a local mechanic to diagnose and perhaps repair Needa's latest mechanical challenge. i proceed to approach the officer that is sitting on the nearest corner of Fayette and ask him where there is a nearby garage/mechanic. following his directions, i travel on the back streets to get to 8th & Fayette, or thereabouts. i pull into the gas station and get the guy to look at Needa. guess what? the mechanic is not in, and it is not known when he will be available. {GRE-HAAATE!] so i ask the 2 dudes there what's a ballpark figure for my walletulure damage. neither of them would give me a figure, so i decided to not FWT.
plan b...
after not getting a good econmic damage prognostication, i decide to call AAA. hey, if you don't have it, get it. i've got nothing but great things to say about my 1st AAA experience. after a painless phone registration, the rep kindly connected me to roadside service. again, AAA is the biddedy. the roadside services rep took my info and told i had up to a 2 hour wait (it didn't take that long actually). as i was lounging in the well fogged confines of Ineeda's driver's seat, the mechanic showed up. he offers to take a look at Needa, but i was like "no thanks."
the tow service showed up and kindly returned me 13 miles back into Illadelph North. at $3/mile after 3 miles, i wasn't to upset to pay for 10 miles of towing. the driver took me right to my mechanic. so the adventures ends happily after all, right? no, not quite...
guess we're looking at a pIII, cause i'm tired of writing again...actually i'm just tired, but that's another story.
kick it like you're Wilson Picket...
PEACE
