"You can't believe what fell... all your dreAms, ummph..."

HMM I SHOULD WARN YOU THE LINK TO THE YOUTUBE HAS PROFANITY...

Haha, I love this scene though. The movie is pretty good too. Ok, so how does it related to my blog entry... well my cAr is sorta one of my dream cars and if I can't afford something I like better, I was planning to drive it for some time to come...

BUT "I can't BELIEVE what fell..." I guess I was lucky I was out so late at night and wasn't that many cars out on the highway when my bumper on the left side decided to become a plow and spin me across 3 lanes as if the highway had an intersection. Driving in extreme snow like this that they haven't been able to clear yet is always a gamble anyway... And I assumed taking it fairly cautiously with a former rally championship car (ok ok it came in 2nd to the Impreza, but not bad for a FF car) with some of the best set of winter tires money can buy on only it's second season that I should be playing my cards right...Guess I didn't count on that Ace... and that all of a sudden on a night like this it could shovel up that much snow that fast....But the bumper was loose still and there is a bit of damage to some related components... I was wondering if someone hit me, but hard to tell since I had a minor fender bender with a pole a few years back when my windows fogged and I figure I backed into that spot at least a few thousand times... Anyhow the sheet metal that held the bolt was bent too and it was rusty so I figure it is because I assumed that side would survive when the other side I held up with something else already besides the original metal... cause it's the less rusty side...

At first I wasn't too sure how extensive the damage was till I started to try to work on it. Afterall I still have work the next day, sucks that when one is on contract you can't take any paid days off for whatever reason whatsover... Turns out I don't have to take it into the body shop afterall, cause I was thinking if I can't fix it myself and since the heater in the car has decided to fail YET AGAIN... then even getting parts can cost me regardless of whether I can fix the heater and/or more personally... so I debated whether I would have to give up on the other love of my life in the same year... OUCH as if I didn't go through enough as it is already.... Took me a few hours to patch it though and I still need to do a bit more to ensure it's secure and maybe do what my friend did with his "wife ___ (model of my car, except his is the generation older)" and drill another bolt diagonally into a less rusted part of the car....

Never underestimate rust like I told my friend on MSN and my mom kept on thinking rust proofing is not important when I noticed the car starting to rust a few years ago and nagged my mom about how we should take better care of the car and as my cousin and other experts put it, it DEFINETELY includes rust proofing...

Well I guess I didn't leave the table empty handed after all and am not totally cleaned out... managed to avoid crashing the car and I'm ok... I'm surprised I lived, but a part of me is disappointed that I am going to go on living... means I have to carry on my miserable single existence :/
