I mean this title literally ;) So this morning I am driving to my ride as I always do, and as I get off of the freeway, my car won't shift. Weird. So then I stop at the intersection, and it won't start again! So, I am sitting at the exit of an exit ramp, my car won't move. Luckily, a nice man came along and helped me push my car to a parking lot not too far away. Thank God! So I park it there, lock it up, and ride to the ride. Good news is I still got my ride in(more on that later!) So, when I get back from my ride I try to start the car and it won't start. Great. So, I thought it was the battery, because my fuel gauge still said I had 1/4 of a tank. That is easily close to 100 miles. I tried to ride home, but the car wouldn't lock because all of the locks are electric and I had to stay. (making me think again that it was the battery) So, I wait for my parents to finish their ride, and come to meet me at the car. I assumed it was the battery, but my dad didn't think so. So we got some gas, and sure enough, it worked! I was happy it was so simple, but angry that the gauge said I had a 1/4 tank when it was bone dry! So, I got home :)
True story^^ And that took way too long to explain! Now, a quick little back track through the week in pictures...

| leftover pasta with feta and random veggies |

| AMAZING seared ahi on jicama with avocado and chili sauce. I died. haha ;) This was on my half day from school when I got my bike =D |
 |
| Saw this while running, and just had to get a picture. Isn't it pretty?? |
So as I said, I got my bike on Tuesday! It is so freaking cool :) Here are some pics...
The new bike was incredible!!! I rode it for the first time today, and it was like I was connected to it, and it knew what I wanted it to do! I love it =D
And then I cooked a chicken stir fry for dinner, and that is about it.
I hope you are having an absolutely terrific weekend!
Scott
That is one snazzy bike! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteloveee the bike! I'm glad your car only needed some gas. Mine needed a new battery this week...in addition to the tire incident haha. But cartel...it's happening soon! Almost done with midterms! I am excited to see this smart car of yours!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture with the flag! so cute!! that same thing happened to me while driving before, but it was after i parked, i parked on an uphill and there was only a 1/4 tank left, and all the fuel went to the back of the fuel part holder thingy :) and it wouldnt start, very annoying when ur trapped in a time limited shopping zone!!!

That is something that would definitely happen to me :o I drive a Ford Explorer.. and it is always giving me trouble! Granted, it's usually my fault because I fail to do things on time.. like oil changes and gas tank fill-ups, so I can't complain :P Glad everything worked out though! It would have sucked to run into a major mechanical problem.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the bike as well! It's almost as beautiful as that sunset :)
ahhh soo sorry about the gas experience! i probably would have freaked out! i love preparing an ahi tuna. soo delicious
ReplyDeletedude, what kind of bike did you upgrade from? that's a pretty serious road bike (I just checked the MSRP...wow!)
ReplyDeleteO.M.G.!!!!! I WANT YOUR BIKE!
