Touchdown! Greaser!
Didn't we have a post on the worst and best airport beater cars we'd driven? I had one yesterday that made me question my sanity. If it was an airplane, no one would have thought of even getting in! I should probably have my d.l. revoked for using such poor decision making with regard to accepting it, but it was this or the entire trip was a waste. Arriving at the car, I could tell there was something amiss immediately - it was much lower on one corner than the others. Someone had changed the tire, and put an idiot spare on the front right. I believe you aren't supposed to do that, you are supposed to move a good tire to the 'steering end'.(?) I went and asked for another car but they said, 'that's it'. Getting in, I notice it has the required reg and safety inspection stickers. Too bad they are 3 years out of date! Kinda hot yesterday afternoon, so I push the down button on the windows --- ooops! the entire switch housing just descended into the armrest and can't be reached now! I fish it out and my window doesn't work at all, got the others cracked open with the hope they will close again. Car starts! yay! Oops...1/32 of a tank of fuel, hope we can make the nearest station. A/C 'on'....hmmm must have lost the refrigerant charge, hot air. Set the rear view mirror. Scratch that, no rear view mirror! Just a wire dangling where it connected to the map lamp or something. How about the side mirrors. RH one....missing. Check. LH one...present but non-adjustable. Check.
There was more fun but I have to check in at work.
We survived but I stuck to the residential roads, furtively looking over my shoulder for police cars
