Thanks ...

But its starting out bad already. On my way into the office ... stopped at Panera for a coffee ... and I go out to leave ... and the car won't more ... or at least it won't turn. Friggen tie rod end popped off. Ugh. Gitta get it towed home later ... the pull it apart and go buy a new one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ... here's Murphy's law ... hope you enjoy it.

Happy Birthday!

And look at the bright side, it failed in a parking lot, instead of turning the roadway into one.

I generally prefer driveway failures, but I'll take a parking lot failure over a 70 mph failure any day or night.

I'll take a failed tie rod in a parking lot over someone hitting my car there and then leaving. I know, it's a PIT* for you right now, just being a broken tie rod. Hope that your day gets better.

Lol, it took me a second to figure out what PIT* was, then it dawned on me that * was a Gramps inappropriate acronym.

I'm glad it was in a parking lot too ... but why couldn't it have happened in my driveway ... ugh.

So ... it was $85 for the tow, $25 for the part, and tomorrow is $70 for the front end alignment. $180 total ... gee ... happy birthday to me ...

Anyone wanna buy an SRT ?
