I hate my F#@king Car!
 

Sorry about the obcenities. Well It happened again. My car won't start and I broke both door handles again! Argggg. I hate going in thru the trunk.

Simon

Reminds me of my situation many many years ago when I drove a Dodge Omni. I too had to crawl through the trunk.

You need to get yourself a garage Simon :wink:

If I was your car this morning in Edmonton, I wouldn't be driving you anywhere either. :shock:
Morning temp at the airport: -42 C
With windchill: -54 C

Obscenities are called for, don't worry about it!

I just wish that when it's -25 outside, that they could maybe think about turning off the air conditioning in my office. We have teams of people dreaming up new and inventive ways to make it unpleasant at work. As Red Forman says, that's why it's called "work" and not "happy happy fun play time"!

For 5 minutes this morning the A/C was off, and I thought finally, the last 4-5 weeks of wearing a toque and mitts in my office had come to an end. But alas, they realized their error and turned the A/C back on. Thank God! I thought I might have to take off my jacket!!

What also gets me is the number of accidents when it's cold. All I hear on the radio "Roads shut down! Police everwhere! This road closed! That road closed! Oh no! The carnage! The humanity!!!" Do people forget that it's winter? That bad weather means bad driving conditions? Oh no. We live in CANADA. It never snows HERE. ooooops BANG!! Duh how did I miss that there was ice and snow on the road??

[/rant] ....

Simon, I feel your pain. And then some....

PS. My car likes to open the windows at random intervals. It's German.. I think it's somehow a feature. Oh well.


Brrrrrrrr.......

They're made to do that for us North Americans so that we can chuck our beer cans out the window every now and then.

Mitch

bah, we Edmontonians are aa little more hardy that you Calgarians.. we just call these temps "Good skidooing weather" :wink: :lol:

Steve

my car seat was solid this morning and my subwoofers wouldn't work. it's cold.

i've passed cops with their lights on the last two days going to work from school on highway 2 near the red deer river.

He says from his comfortable perch over on the Island .... that doesn't help your credibility much there dude!! :P Yeah, man, tough out that -54 stuff, I'm behind you all the way!!! In spirit if not in person.

:lol:

Tony, I had an Olds once that used to do the window thing. The problem was broken wires in the wiring harness that runs between the car body and the door.

I know what you guys mean about the cold, I had to wear underwear under my shorts a couple mornings ago, dang it was like... 1 degree


LOL,

They are calling for the possibility of snow flurries tonight though. :shock: :? So, it looks like winter is going to be on a Friday this year. :D Last year I think it was a Tuesday. :D :P

well that's not cold , I just got back from doing operations in the north ,
:( -75 with out the wind chill.

And i was sleeping in a tent and with a coleman stove :? Now how dumb is the military.. :wink:
Oh well Ruck-up :D

Yay. I saw some snow flakes this morning. Winter's finally here in Vancouver. Currently a chilly 0 degrees celsius. 8)

Hey Deb, my Weathercast icon shows -29 over where you are. :shock:

-35 here in Edmonton this morning. Without the wind chill, little chill in the air. :D

Clinton

Whee! Its snowing here! :D

(we don't get snow that often and when we do it starts melting about 5 minutes after it stops snowing) :roll:


Christy :)

Currently, not enough snow here to stick on the ground yet. Hopefully, more will come down so I can actually get to use the All-Wheel drive feature on my car. :)

It is the begging of winter here in Victoria it snowed today for 5 whole minutes LOL and spring was right behind it with 3.5billion flowers already :lol:

Man all you lucky buggers in BC!
I had a great walk to work today! Yea it was wonderful,,,really :roll: 1hour and 45min in -25weather. Just what I enjoy doing!
Well enough of my whining :lol:

Man... I think there are 3.5 billion snowflakes on my front porch alone. :(
Do those count as blossoms? Crap... looked at the thermometer again. Gotta stop doing that.
:?
