[bonzo.specb]

well one time, bout 8years now, my classes had finished and my cusine supposed to pick me up and it was raining. I saw a silver civic n traffick outside the school with the same 'looking' graphics on the side, so i opened the door and sat in the front seat. Then to watch at the side to see a pretty milf watchin me weird cuz it wasnt my cusine........i was literally dumbstruck so i jump out fast and got hit down by sum1 who was reversing out of the parking space.

better yet, why would the ignition have to go to "START", if a direct line was run to starter?

so one day moms ask me to carry her car by the mechanic to do a regular tune up, change plugs,plug wires, gas filter, oil and oil filter..so she had ask me to do that a few weeks ago and i say well this sat i go do it, so i gone down el soccorro to get parts, heading by mechanic, got a call from padner to go fishing he passing now, so i tell him i promise mom to do the tune up, he say das small thing we go lick it up home by me fass then go fishing...reach home now change oil, filter, gas filter, padner taking out the spark plugs, so he do most of the work so i say let me help him by taking out the plug wires, pull them off fass fass, only to realize i mess up the firing order....lawwwd....we try all how, gone online to get the order,call mechanic, trying all different ways, car doh want to start for nothing.....end up calling the mechanic home to fix it, he had to time over the engine...by that time one of the plug wires got damage and i try fix it while the car was running, well i fall to the ground with that shock yes...so what should have taken an hour max took us whole saturday, no fishing for homes na....

[kl122]

next time, mih neighbour buy ah civic, so he wanted to clean his injectors himself, so he went online get some knowledge on how to do it, my boy spray up injectors with all the rubber seals still on, time to put it back in the rubber swell and break up, he call me up to go down el soccorro to get some, from autorama down to the motorist, nobody have, end up crossing the highway and get 4 by jason, who happen to have exact 4 to spare...i guess doing tune ups by your self is really a learning and fun experience..

[crazybalhead]

So a day when rain was falliing, i with my girl in the car and i jump in to drive off..and lo and behold the car wasnt starting..but all the instrumental lights on. So i was like..goshh noo..battery again..pop the bonnet and getting ready to go in the rain to play up with the pole then i suddenly remember that i didnt disarm the alarm fully. Pressed the unlock button again and the car started. So silly me still hadda run in the rain to close down the bonnet. She real laugh at me yes.

Yuh real safe there bro

OK another keys locked in the car story:

I has some 17" Focals with no center cap I wanted to sell, but I thought it would move faster if I got the caps.

So I put a rim in the trunk and went down by Tyre Clinic, locked up the car real nice, using the keyless entry remote.

Asked the sales rep inside to come have a look at the rim to see if they had anything that would work for the center cap.

opened the trunk (remember the car is stilled locked), rest the keys down on the trunk mat and pulled out the rim, showed it to the sales rep who said he didn't have anything for it.

Put the rim back in the trunk and closed it

Had to call a partner to come down with some wire and other gagets, put some nice scrapes on the inside of the door edge (the car was new then ) and reach real late to the GF who is now the Wifey for our Valatines' Day date

She had a real good laugh at me though

A friend of mine buy ah brand new Sunny back in the day and ask me to take it for its first scheduled service because he had some business to do in town. I tell him no problem but ah need to go Gulf City first.

I parked up the car and went in the mall for about 20 minutes. When I come back out side to carry the car by Neal and Massey I realize I didn't know the car number and I couldn't remember where I parked the car.

That was when I realized how many people were buying Sunnys. Talk bout pressure

The day after I got the Trueno, I fly out of work and a taxi waiting infront, take me to city gate and I hop in a maxi. When I dip my hand in my pocket to take out my wallet, I find an extra set of keys in there. Take it out, look at it for a good bit, then it hit me, these are the trueno keys! The trueno still park up in work! Stop in Curepe, take a maxi back into town and a car taxi back to work.
