Friday Night Disaster 7/10/09

So..its Friday. I had just gotten off work at 9:30. I asked my girlfriend the other night if she wanted to eat at this Thai place we eat at sometimes all the way down in Rolling Heights. She says sure. So once I get off work I shower, change , then leave to go pick her up.

When I pick her up she tells me her friend and her boyfriend want to go with us. So I said sure. So then we drive down there and so does her friend and boyfriend. We get there before they do. As soon as we get there we park. Right when I park my girlfriend tells me "Aren't you a little close to the other car." I said not really. So then I was like alright, I'll re-park it a little. But right when I re-park I accidentally tried to turn on the engine when the car is already on.

As soon as I did that my car went weird. I tried to start my car back on but it would say my car is on drive and park at the same time. I was like WTF?! So from that point on I was like alright, lets just eat and then come back to see if it will start.

After eating we tried to start my car. It wouldn't start. My girlfriends friends boyfriend Allan tried to see what the problem was. He said my break is stuck meaning as in stiff. It wouldnt let you step on the break. So he had to open up my transmission to unlock it from being stuck.

We got the shifter to go in Reverse, and we tried to start the car. It wouldn't work. So from that point on..my car wouldnt start. Something was up with the starter. It wasn't the battery because everything was working fine. The car was just not starting.

Luckily my girlfriends dad is a mechanic and has his own shop. So as soon as my dad wakes up for work I have to tell him what happened and get him to call AAA to get my car towed to my gf's dad's shop.

I hope I dont need a new starter or anything. Hopefully the start just got disconnected or something.

Sorry for the long story but hopefully I wont have to pay much and Ill update any news if anything bad or good happens.

Peace
