Crappy Monday

Wow my Monday started out pretty well. I went with my dad to Brenham, cashed my check, looked at some cars. We came back to Hempstead and checked out the one we'd seen the night before. We looked at it. Talked to the guy, test drove it. Let it run for awhile. Checked it out some more. We stuck a deal with the guy. I got a 90 Pontiac Sunbird. Not bad looking at all. Pretty clean. So I went home got William up. We went back and paid for the car. I drove it to the video store. Which is two blocks from where I bought the car. Left it there. We transferred the title and I paid the taxes and everything on it. I bought the car for $1050, paid $150 on TTL. After that we got in Williams truck and drove to Brenham and got insurance. I paid a little over $100 for that. We drove back to Hempstead, left his truck at the video store, took the car and got it inspected. It passed. Ran fine and everything. We go back to the video store to get Wills truck. We drive home. He followed me. Just as soon as I start to turn into the drive way the car quits on me. It jerked and died. I tried several times to start it up and put it in gear. Everytime I started it and put it in gear it jerked and died. I called my dad he came and looked at it. He jacked it up and spun the tire. After he did that he told me to start the car. Sure enough it started and would go into gear. He thinks the cv joint locked up. Anyways so Devin and I tried to go grocery shopping. We went to turn left into Fuel Depot to get gas. It died on me. I was half in the road and half in the station. I called my dad he said he'd be there in a few minutes. I had Devin get in the drivers side and put it in nuetral so maybe we could get it a little more out of the road. I pushed it a little. Anyways I guess when I pushed it I was able to get it to unlock some. Cause I was able to start it up and get it to the pump. I then drove home taking only right turns. I had to go all the way around to get home but it stayed going. Whenever I turn left it locks up.

Ok so I never hit anything. The guy I bought it from said it never did it. When we test drove it we made a u-turn going left. No clue what happened. Anyways my dad called him last night and the guy is having it looked at now. Anyways I hope it all works. My dad is gonna try and get my money back if nothing comes of it. Well I gotta get back to work. Later days...
