Default Stupid me =). And Thanks

Well as some of you may know, my car died on friday on twinbrook pwky. The car had a jerk and all shut off while I was driving. I was going probably 40mph. I couldnt figure out what was wrong with the car because it only has 54k miles and I dont drive it too hard.

I got it towed to J&D Motorsports to see if they can find anything wrong. At first, I assumed that the alternator went bad. But if the alternator went bad, then the battery shouldve died too.

Then I thought it was maybe the fuel pump. So steeeze33 sprayed fuel into the throttle body and that didnt work. So the fuel pump was fine.

Today I called altered to see if they can come to the shop to help me out because I didnt want to pay another $80 to get it towed to another shop. Mike understood and decided to come down to help me out. They came on the same day and figured it out in no time. The problem was.... MY FUSE WAS BLOWN stupid me....

Well after hearing a lot of bad people not returning wheels(like robbie's case), I figured I want to give a thanks to these people:

.steeeeZ33. - Thanks for taking time to look at my car and holding onto it while I went through my stress. And for letting me know the status on the car as you noticed new things.

atomicgoofball and Phat350Z - Thanks for driving me around while I didnt have a car. Danny(goofball) came all the way from Columbia MD just to pick me up and chill. Chris(phat350z) brought me to HIN and back.

Malikot - Thanks for picking me up on friday and driving me to rockville.

bb1314 - Thanks for offering me a oem fuel pump and rail when I needed it. It meant a lot to me.

Mike and Frank from altered - Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to come take a look at my car. And also thanks for understanding the situation with the towing fee.

Well I just wanted to let everyone know that if you guys ever needed help, you can rely on these people.

This story brought tears to my eyes.... or maybe it's 0330 in the morning. Good to hear a situation turned out right with Mid-As stepping up to help out.

"Stupid", someone who, knowing better, STILL does something unintelligent...
Do you still consider yourself "stupid", m'friend?! There are PLENTY people in this world just waiting to jump you, & make you feel useless & "stupid"! DON'T
cooperate with them!!! Jesus created you a unique human being; live as such.

get a free test drive of my '04 Touring Coupe Zed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
