Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

Well, life just took a not-so-good turn last night. On my way to a emergency call last night to the hospital, my car decided to hydroplane into a guardrail on an offramp. Its still driveable and mostly cosmetic but it does need to get fixed so had to report to insurance company. I wasn't hurt (except for my 32 year safe driving record with no accidents) which is good, but my little red mobile is suffering from a bit of ugliness. This will set me back about $250 for my deductible and probably cause my rates to go up. Luckily I am off work Monday and Tuesday so I can take my car into the body shop for work.

Ah well, not the way I wanted to spend my Friday.

Glad you are ok...and sorry about your car. I hope the rest of your weekend gets better

Don't need to meet at Tune Inn. . .it was just convenient and cold. It was so hot and humid outside. I am sorry that you couldn't come with us to Kimonos. Karaeoke was fun. . .lol.

UGH, my car broke down today. I guess the bright side is without a car I cannot really get to work tomorrow!

Oh that sucks.


Any idea what's wrong with it?

I know, I saw your post and wondered if maybe it was just bad car karma weekend.

Well it has been acting up when I try to start it, I think the starter just bit the dust, it just wouldn't turn over at all. My pocket book hurts just thinking about it...

What kind of car? and define "been acting up"? It could be a starter, but it could also be something else. (either cheaper or more expensive).

I'm sorry. I had to replace the starter on my car once. After it died and stranded me on the side of the road. It was not a good morning.

Mine died at a bar.... after last call..... 40miles from home.

That was not a fun night. What was really fun was going back to the bar the next day and replacing the starter in their parking lot.

Thanks, I think mostly I was lucky, it died in the parking lot at DD7's theater practice which is 2 hours long anyway. The tow truck guy took about an hour to show, he was great, tried the battery and all, but no luck. My mom showed up to get me and the kid home, and she's coming back in the morning to get me to the dealer where it was dropped.

It's an old BMW, the starter has been taking a long time to turn over for a few months, I kinda knew it was having issues. I am hoping it is something inexpensive!

BMW.... no such thing as inexpensive.


If you already checked the battery, and it's been acting like a slowly turning starter that's not turning over at all now (just clicking I presume)... odds are it's gonna be a starter.

Starters themselves.... not too terribly expensive. the Labor however can be where they get you depending on how buried it is. (though... RWD car, so it may be easier to get too than something FWD )

Ah, killing my dreams that it may not be expensive. It's all good, I need some reality!
