what's with cars and me? 'they' (and i mean this in a superficial way) always end up incurring damages... like our van, for instance... after a wonderful practice for our obra-maestro of a performance called "Hands of God", i drove back home with a friend... but along the way the lights died out, although i was still moving... apparently i discharged the battery *annoyed*... and my Dad and brother had to shovel 'umpteenth' amounts of snow to clear a path for our other car to boost the van... (the van was safely parked in the garage)... that van was actually acting up already during that day before... i might have left the radio on, or heater... the battery just eats up the energy... when they were unable to boost it (the other car was slipping and sliding moving up our back lawn due to the 'umpteenth' amounts of snow!), they called AMA... ah, but the thing was, another slip up last night... when the AMA guys pulled the van out of the garage to boost it, they broke the right side mirror... (the AMA-zing service?!) *scream*... what, i parked it wrong? *confused*... could this get any worse?!... well, they find out that the battery cable were loose, ergo, the discharge... man, o what a night!!! *exhausted, NOT from shoveling but from guilt*
