Welp was on my way to work.....made it through the ID checks to get on the NASA side....all happy the salt air....the thoughts of overtime danceing in my head.....then the Hyundai died....got to admit the Cape workers..and Police were observent and quick to respond...had to tell my tale of woe to a lot of people...people willing to help me get to work..use cell phones ect. (made me feel better) Base police were quick to arrive just to "check"....explined that I was not haveing car problems...I just owned a Hyundai and they like to park on the side of the road every few miles to rest . So got a ride home from a co-worker...leaveing the hyundai on the side of the road....and base police getting more information and every thing but a rectal exam to make sure I was not leaveing it for oter reasons than it being a Hyundai......so I get the night off....get to get it towed home in the morning.....
Got to admit I was tempted to stick an Iraq flag on the thing and let the base SWAT team blow it in place
Probly the best plan NRAJOE...I got it as one of those "great deals".....paid $400 ish for it....so for got that into for parts
I genarly pick up cheep cars then junk them when dead for me...wifee poo wont play that game....(I hate car payments)...goan drag it home its got 1 more chance.........then might just do the 45 vs 9mm test.
I got a buddy that used to be a part time cop in West Milgrove, Oh. One night he got a call that someone was getting out of their car when another vehicle came down the street, hit the guys door face on and the door slammed shut on the guys leg! My buddy thought that he was gonna see a real mess! He got there and the guy that was parked was driving a Yugo and the door had in fact closed on his leg but it had bent around the guys leg instead of crushing it. They pried the door open and the guy stepped out and starting walking around...nothing more than scrapes and cuts.

I had a '78 Rabbit and never had one single problem with mine, Wes. Matter of fact, I wish I still had it. Always started, never had any problems, and it got a bazillion miles to the gallon....
