808 - Out of Car Error
Blegh.
I had planned a fairly quiet and relaxing weekend, but blegh. Would love to tell you about an busy but very okay week, but mainly this is about my car. Or rather, lack of. You see, I don't have much luck with them. After the Malkari Mobile, Kaylee and Prima, this is the fourth car I really personally own. Cars are expensive to buy, expensive to keep and expensive to drive, but it kinda gives me my 'wings', my freedom to go where I will, and to bring friends with it (and a generous mount of luggage). If something goes wrong with them, I kinda feel 'clipped' and it hits rather hard.
So, on my way to lunch in Amsterdam on Saturday she started giving me trouble, losing power when approaching higher speeds and generall being irregular with the amount of engine power transmitted to the drive. Had to limp her back to Krimpen from Amsterdam after, sinking my weekend plans, and making me scared of going up dikes, hills or bridges lest she lose power completely while on the freeway or sumfink. Called the garage, who will take care of it (as it is well into guarantee), but feel miffed. Will also get replacement transport, but remembering the incident last time I got replacement transport I feel rather sceptical.
Blegh.
