Ticked and then not.
Nov. 9th, 2007 08:30 pmI started on that mega-meme and even though LJ stores a draft, when I accidently hit the wrong key (thanks to an overly sensitive touchpad mouse), poof it was ALL gone. The saved draft was the original I was trying to edit. It's a meme 200 lines long and I was 1/2 way through it. Crap. Guess y'all don't really need to all that stuff, now do you?
Finally got the car back this afternoon. Took 4 weeks, but the repairs look great. On the downside, (not a biggie here) they didn't re-install the code to the stereo system and it took a return trip to the repair shop to find out how to recode the bloody thing. While I was waiting for the thing to reset, which took 10 minutes of waiting with the radio on, as I did it incorrectly the first time and that's how long it takes to reset so you can do it correctly, I managed to run my battery down so far that the car would then not start. So I'm going to have to keep my eye on the battery since I would not expect the battery to be so weak, that it would lose its charge in just over 10 minutes.
We shall see. Tomorrow I head over to our mechanic so he can check out the torn bushing on the rear passenger side, something that was not accident related, and that I will have to repair in order to have a proper allignment done on the car. Worse, according to the repair place, only the dealership is likely going to have the special bar that's required to allign this vehicle, which will mean a trip to the dealership for that, at a cost of $275.
Bloody wonderful.
I think I'm starting to miss the Prius.
