This sucks

[yrsdrgn]

ok so i've been healing up from a bike accident (two weeks so far recovery) and i took my car out for a drive with my mom and my friend. the car's running fine from point A to point B but when we start heading over to point C the car starts crapping out (this is a 2007 Liftback bought on Jan 31, 07.) So i have to stop. I try restarting the car and it felt like trying to get a manual car going from a stop sign when you release the clutch and start applying the throttle (that little friction point where the RPM drops between 1k and less.) So i call AAA insurance for roadside assistance. They send over a truck which was no use and then they send over a towing truck which helped us bring the car to a dealership since it's under warranty.

The guy at the dealership said that I'll have to wait til next Wednesday to get my car because they're overbooked >< And about three of the mechanics were complimenting my car ^^

All in all, I lost my job interview, my friend lost his driving instruction and my mom lost the chance to see her friend....great Friday and i lose my car for about a week >< ok i'm done typing haha

Anyway. it may all seem like crap right now but things are constantly changing.Don't worry.. next wednesday will come really fast.

i couldn't take a taxi cuz i was waiting for the tow truck...(stupid AAA lady sent a normal truck to us.....) and my mom hitched a ride with me n the tow truck dude while a church friend drove my friend to the closest bus stop (which was pretty far.) I just miss my car >< haven't driven it for so long and first day i drive it it says no.... lol

Keep us updated on what was wrong with it. It could be a concern for auto. Yaris drivers.

lol. I'm not too sure but i think it has something to do with my throttle body or the thingie that tells the automatic car when to switch gears...just a guess

[brickhardmeat]

at least it is under warranty

if it makes you feel any better I was getting out of my car today here at my apartment and chipped the edge of my door on the gate like a fucktard, oh well

just a bit of info, you usually don't have to wait for the tow truck, they have all your billing/membership info on the computer..

guess the job interview wasn't that important to you.

well for the tow truck they needed to check my membership card for the number (iono why but yea) and i'd rather know where the car's being towed to. as for the job interview there'll be other opportunities.

MOOO.

Any phone service where you were? A quick ring-a-ding and you might of gotten a second chance at that interview. Make the call with a legitimate reason and it may bump you up with some integrity.

Tell them you had bought a new car for reliability so you wouldn't miss work when you got that new job and that Toyota has let you down.

Good luck on any new opprotunities that come your way and let us know about the car.

the phone service was very bad in that area so reception sucked ass. i did try to call back but the manager wasn't there and i doubt that the employee let him know that my car choked up on me....soo more job huntin ^^

haha yea toyota let me down on reliability but my tc was good to me during my accident =P so in some way it equals out
