Sorry to hear about the accident. Well the insurance will get you a new rear bumper, what counts is that the both of you are ok. Hopefully the new year will bring you some luck, and that turbo/super charger that I know you want =)

That sucks! And here I was just pissed off because I got stood up twice New Year's Eve, by my boyfriend who blew me off to go duck hunting again (I swear I'm going to shove his rifle up his *** and see how quick he is to want to go hunting again) and then by my ex, who said he would take me out to dinner and then never bothered to pick me up, call, or answer his phone when I called to find out where he was.

At least my car is fine, totally filthy, but still fine.

Sounds like last year was awesome, of course you needed a counterpoint to start the new year off. Raise a glass of virgin bubbly in hopes the rest of the year goes better than the beginning.

Congrats on the sobriety, pal. Keep up the good work.

BunnyGirl, you BF is beginning to sound a bit like a chump.

He now claims that he never went to the beach to go duck hunting after all (had to track him down at work since he wouldn't answer his phone), but that since I got mad at him on Saturday, he didn't quite know what to say so he was hiding from me. LOL! I didn't know I was that scary. I suppose it's good to know he fears me.

Hey Bunny, did you get your clutch thing figured out?

I was told it was that ethanol evaporation thing that essentially locked it up and since it is basically fine now, that it has worked itself out. The only time it's not "fine" is when the car hasn't warmed up yet and it's pretty cold outside, but it's still nothing like it was doing. Now it just feels stiffer and notchier than at warmer temperatures, but essentially like last year, although I got my car at the end of March and I only had to drive it at "cold" temperatures twice, so my comparison is limited. There isn't a problem getting it into gear at all now. Oddly though, that "ethanol evaporation" didn't occur in the really warm weather we had. It started in the two days the dealership had it to do my recall, when it was still in the 60s. Maybe their driving style for the testing helped trigger it?
