F*@%ing CAR! ((rant))

[Red_Dazes]

....*sigh* as if I didnt need another crap shoot. Now my CAR is malfunctioning. We are thinking its something with the spark plug coils... but not really sure. Whenever it gets too warm outside it just dies. Just ca-put. Right in the middle of traffic, right in the middle of the parking lot... anywhere... just "oh hey! I'm not gonna steer anymore! YEY!

My mother said she would help pay for the mechanic we are going to need... but she wont be home till sunday... meaning I cant get it fixed till tuesday...*lesigh*

On top of that... when I do drive... and the car dies... Yes I get a little panickie.. I mean who wouldn't in the middle of traffic. (I've been trying to stay home.) And the Beau gets all upset with me for getting stressed...which doesn't help... which leads to big fighting... which leads to me feeling like shit. Because I didn't do anything wrong... but he is damn good at making me feel like I have...and UGH!!!!

I just want to go somewhere and hide.

What kind of car?
Also, it could be a few things--fuel vaporizing before it gets burnt (usually caused by excess heat under the hood), a faulty ignition coil and/or wires, etc.

Isn't that called "Vapor-Lock"? My father told me that a good cure for that was to clip a wooden closepin to the fuel line. Claimed it worked every time.

Don't know if it's true, but you never know...

It's a Buick Lesebre (sp) we looked it up and apparently this particular model seems to have ALOT of trouble with the same problem... We are pretty sure it is something involving the coils... guess we will find out on Tuesday.
