The "Loaner"

Okay, for those out there driving the 1.6litre Mitsubishi Lancer CV-T, I have nothing but pity for you.

THE CAR SUCKS! OMG!!!!

Here's the scenario...I step on the gas...the car crawls forward and the engine revs a little...

I floor the gas pedal, the car crawls forward (albeit a little faster), the engine revs to REDLINE and makes a freakin' helluva lot of noise.

For a moment there, I thought I'd busted up the dang CV-T (Continuously Variable Transmission) cause the speedo wasn't climbing...just the tacho.

Oddly though, I managed to dodge an Accord 2.0 (Euro version) non-Euro-R along CA6 last evening. The moron actually decided to tailgate me while I was passing another CMI Lancer on the right lane at the bend which leads from the PIE to Clementi Ave 6.

Obviously, being very familiar with that particular bend, I took it at about 70km/h and was still accelerating (at a snail's pace) when this idiot in a White Accord decided to come right up to my ass.

Having a Honda Civic recently kiss my own car's ass didn't make me feel any better with this moron sitting behind the loaner car's ass so I floored the pedal and managed a decent slingshot acceleration around the bend.

I guess it kinda took him by surprise cause it was a while before I heard his engine revving trying to catch up. By then I'd already pulled quite a distance from him and was overtaking another car and getting stuck behind a matrix.

Well, sufficed to say, this moron was lucky that I wasn't driving my own car (it's still in the workshop undergoing repairs to the rear-end which was damaged by the Civic) otherwise I would've blow-offed his ass to high heaven and probably given him a layer of soot to wipe off his piss ant faggoty white accord.

It's been a pretty boring day with little or nothing much happening to me. I have the night shift so it's the daytime that's boring. B's got this problem though. He's been around for a fair bit and obviously knows the place inside out and exactly what to do when something happens (or doesn't). What he fails to realize is that the rest of us are pretty darn new to this and honestly, don't really know what's the norm and what ain't. In any case, either way, it's gonna be sad to see him leave but we've gotta make sure that everything's handed over right before he goes. Otherwise, all hell would break loose here.

It's interesting to note that Porcupine a.k.a KXXZ a.k.a SLK seems to not think of anyone besides herself. I don't mean that she doesn't think but rather, if you like someone enough, you'd spend sometime thinking of that person wouldn't you? Obviously I feature very low on the likable scale since she admitted today that she doesn't think of me at all. That kinda sucks.

I can't wait till Wednesday to get my car back! I'm dying here with this piece of junk that they've loaned to me. Yes, yes, some might say that I at least have a loaner. Well, DUH! If I didn't have one, I wouldn't even think of going there to get my car fixed now would I??? Of course I'd want something that at least on the same trim level as the car I'm sending in. After all, fair is fair. I didn't hit the bugger, he hit me!
