The worse weekend EVER!

Check this out. Sorry for my English third language

Daniel and Dustin (yellowmx6) fly to LA to pick up Daniel’s new Mr2 because his previous one got totaled about a month ago. This MR2 they are picking up is fully modded and is pushing about 350hp to the rear wheels. Their plan was to pick it up, drive it to SEMA and then drive it back home all the way to the East Coast. They called me from Vegas to tell me how fast and insane this car is and how happy Daniel is with his new car. Friday morning they start their Journey back home and just 1 hour later it breaks down in the middle of the Arizona desert. It was just the radiator hose that blew so they manage to drive to a gas station and kinda ghetto fix it. Ok back on the road and two hours later the car starts to stutter and shuts off. This time it’s done and they give up on the car. They call a tow truck and because the truck driver wouldn’t let them sit in the truck they had to sit in their car in the back wiggling around (not a flatbed), scary huh? They decide to get a u-haul truck with a car trailer. You would think that from there it would be all fine but the damn u-haul truck breaks down in middle of the tornado alley and to add to that there is a tornado watch. Takes about 2 hours for help to get to them since the conditions are not very nice. They are spending the night in a hotel around there right now. When I get more updates on this I will post some more. I wish them Luck

Ok that’s one housemate so here is the next one.

Antony’s (civicgsrturbo) car gets broken into last night, not sure what was stolen but the side window was smashed

Ok so now comes the worse part.

I go up to NYC to chill with some friends and autox on Sunday. This morning I wake up to go to the autox but my car is nowhere to be seen. I already filed a police report and I have to call back tomorrow to see if it was towed. There is a very high possibility it was towed since it looks like I had a pending ticket in NYC According to the cop if you have a ticket pending and the car is found on the street they will tow it and you can only pick it up after paying for the ticket. I have to call them in the morning to see if they found it. I think that’s enough for a weekend so I am going to bed and hopefully this week will be better. I will be praying tonight.

One more
My girlfriend's birthday was this Sunday and I couldn't make it

Anyone has anything to share about your weekend?

Damn Dado talk about a str8 up shity weekend. I got a dwi this weekend. My car was left on the side of the road for a tow truck to pick up. When the tow truck took it the guy didn't realize it was rear wheels drive and started to tow it off. Lucky it was only like 1/4 miles before he saw the smoke billowing from my tires. So they go to put it on a flat bed and I just lowered it 2.5 inches and they scrape the hell out of the front of my car. Worst thing I wasn't that drunk and they let me go shortly after I saw the majestrate. I thought my weekend was bad. not nearly as bad as you guys. Hope you find your car man.
Peace
Pete

Dear God, I guess if you believe in karma though, the next weekend should be the best ever of your life.

it may seem bad, but look at the bright side of things... it really isnt that bad, all of the cars are basically ok, the MR2 needs a radiator, the civic need a new window, and your car was probably towed (as your car IS almost impossible to steal). so maybe few hundred dollars in damage at most. And they are just cars man, atleast no one was injured or anything... it may seem bad, but relatively it's nothing to stress over in the long run... go take a deep breath, call your girlfriend and enjoy your health and that of your friends. Peace, Sol

damn dado, sorry to hear that hopefully you get your car back, if someone did steal it, it would be hard to sell the parts and stuff since it is so well known by everyone. Good luck to dustin with his car, and anthony with his, and yours also.

Hey Dado, I am soo sorry to hear that.
But listen if your car got towed in the city there is only 1 place it can be thats 38 street and 12ave. They are open 24hrs. I am pretty sure about the address. Just go and check. They will give you your car right away after you pay for the ticket if you have it.. Man i know how you feel mine got towed twice in the city. Give me a call if you need help.
take care good luck,
Adam

Sorry to hear your crappy weekend. Atleast you had a weekend.

I on the other hand had to work all week writing up a PPM to market a start up to investors next week. I was at work till 5am on early sunday morning, and right now it is 1:44 am on monday morning and I don't want to be here ; hence, I am on DTM POWER

I'm done venting now. Hope your car turns out ok.

Actually yes...This weekend I attended a few partys with a freind I met through YOUR website, his DTM name is LagunaSecaBlue. Fun weekend with lots of liquor and girls ....However I am sorry to hear about your not-so-great weekend. Just thought it might cheer you up if I shared the good times I had with some cool peeps I met through your great site.
