so, work was having a happy hour tonight, so i figure i'll just go into the office for the day, then head over with everyone.
Well, about 20 min into my 45 min commute, my passenger side front caliper decides to lock up or something. i'm able to safely pull over on the highway. it could have been a lot worse, considering its raining out.
so, i call AAA to get a tow.
turns out my memebrship is expired. fuck me.
i'm out of town, and don't know any local towing companies out there...
2 hours later, i get a tow truck.
it's a dolly style, not a flat bed.
yeah, not happening with the M... A, its RWD, so it would need to be towed backwards, nose down... B, the front wheel is locked up.... not happening.
another hour later, i get a flat bed. we make haste to BMW of water town.
car is unloaded and i get the paper work together with the service writer.
they are booked and won't even be able to look at it until monday.
no biggie... just need a car now.
they are out of loaners.
fuck.
call up enterprise. they are out, but expecting one back around 2pm.
230 rolls around and i get a call back. 300 comes around and i finally get picked up and head over to enterprise.
4pm, i'm finally back home with a jeep liberty at $56 a day.
fuck me.
so, i missed happy hour, got nothing done today because i was on the side of the road or waiting for most the day... and i'm wet and cold
today sucked
good news is that most of the work is warrantied, so i shouldn't have a very big bill depending on what exactly is wrong with it.
