Sad Day

I arrived in Lincoln, NE 
late Monday afternoon
My lovely teammates Maritza and Ari
picked me up and gave me a ride to my new apartment
I got right to unpacking,
anxious to make this foreign place look and feel like a home
while I was cleaning I realized that there were 
plenty of things I still needed
like a phone charger since apparently I had left mine at home
and my phone of course was blinking red
since it was getting dark I decided I 
needed to grab my keys and headed out for Walmart
I am still not quite used to my stick shift
so I was preparing for the hill I would have to stop at
everything was going good until all of a sudden
my check engine light started to blink 
and my whole car started to rattle
I panicked and pulled over on the nearest street
of course I called my dad, 
scared and naive

with little battery left I called Maritza and she of course came to my rescue
she drove my to walmart to grab a car charger
and back to the scene of poor, broken Abigail the Audi
finally, two hours later
the tow truck arrived and Abby was taken away :(
it's Friday and I still haven't heard from her
except that it will cost me
$1700 to fix her
I hope she comes back to me soon

Oh nooooo!!! I'm so sorry. I love my little car and whenever anything happens to it, I get a bit sad inside. Hopefully your Abigail will be a healthy lady in no time :)

That sounds like quite the Friday night! Hope it gets better!

Bummer! car troubles are the worst and $1700 is quite a bit of dough. Hope it all works out, keep your chin up!

aww sad! something similar happened to me except it was in the middle of the highway. like your car, my engine started rattling and i freaked out and pulled over! in the end the cost wasn't worth it and my little seafoam green turcel took his leave...i'm sure your lil guy will be fine though!
