Thank you Roger. Yeah...they know everyone needs a car to get from place to place so that know people will be forced to pay for it all. I wouldn't know how to fix or work on it even if it wasn't all high tech. LOL. I am just glad to have my car back and put this behind me.

I do live in an area of snow. I will definitely have to research on what tires to get and what I can afford. I really hope not to go through this again anytime soon. I don't think trading my car in is an option right now.

Happy Fourth of July Boss and everyone. Hope it is a safe and great day for you all.

I try not to, but I'm not very successful at it. LOL.

Well, I finally got my car back and it's great to have it back. I am blessed to have great parents who not only let me drive my mom's car while I was without a car, but they also paid the bill to have my car fixed. They know I can't pay for it and had said they would earlier, but do feel guilty having them pay for it. But I'm already living paycheck to paycheck as it is, so my dad is right, but still hate that they are paying for it. I feel as I should be able to support myself as everyone else seems to be able to, but here I am. It doesn't help my landlord raised my rent this month as well. Ugh. My dad also says my car probably is due for some new tires as they are noisy, so I'll have to think about that as well. There's always something... though I also know how blessed I am. So I will focus on the positive. Or try to. Hope you all will have a fun and safe Fourth of July.

Dukes Meet Bill Elliott
Garrett Duke replied to Skipper Duke's topic in Role Playing - Original Characters
Sitting in the backseat with the handcuffs tightly pinching his wrists, Garrett can't help but to laugh to hear the commotion over the radio. "You hush it, Duke!" Rosco yells back at him, "All this is because of you!" Garrett nods in satisfaction. "I know," he admits, still laughing; which is unheard of from him, "that's what makes this all the funnier." "Oh you Duke!" Rosco yells, "Before you showed up, I thought Bo and Luke were the worst it could get. You came and proved me all wrong!" "That alone makes this all the more worth it, Rosco," Garrett responds. "Tell me sheriff," he pauses for dramatics as the patrol car pulls in behind Boss's Cadillac, "what's gonna happen when they find out the truth of what you and that fat white marshmallow did?" "Garrett Duke!" Rosco yells as he throws open the door and Hogg comes to Garrett's locked door with a cigar in hand. Rosco runs around and pushes Hogg away to open the door, "You be nice the commissioner or you'll never make it Atlanta alive!" Rosco yanks Garrett out of the car only for Boss to shove him back down and blocks him. "What are you doing, Rosco?!" Hogg hisses, blowing smoke into Rosco's face, "This lugnut has caused Hazzard, you, and me all this issue. You take him out you giving him chance to escape! No, no, no. He's going to be locked into that car until the Atlanta boys take him back home where he'll be locked up with murderers and the worst of the worst! I'm looking forward to seeing how long you'll survive in there, Duke!" Hogg turns to Garrett at that and blows smoke in his face again. "Seeing on how I already spent time in there and gained some powerful friends there," Garrett coldly smiles in Hogg's face, "I'd say my chances of survival is better there than it is in your junk hole here!" Hogg looks at him angrily before slamming the door in Garrett's face. Turning to Rosco he yells, "Get this criminal out of my cave and out of my town. NOW Rosco!" "Yes sir, Boss sir," Rosco states before he climbs back behind the wheel. Backing out he states, "You gone and made Boss mad, Duke. You'll really gonna pay for it now." "That just makes my day," Garrett coldly responds. -
Thank you Roger. I am looking forward to seeing your post!

Thank you everyone. I am sure things will work out. My parents are helping out a lot so I am blessed. I've read how the transmissions of the car were faulty. I think I read it right before buying it as well but the guy told my dad if that were to happen they'd fix it. But my dad had to bring my car to another place because where I got it was booked until mid July. I really like this car and am sad to see it having issues. I felt guilty leaving it on the lot Wednesday. It's Sunday and they still have it and no word on who is paying for it or how this will happen. Hopefully tomorrow. I'm just hoping Ford will cover it since obviously it's on them...but we will see. Thank you for your support. I almost didn't post it because I am sure you all have stuff going on as well and this is nothing compared to a surgery and having to pay for that on top of it. It'll work out, I just need to be patient...

Glad to hear you are recovering Hobie and hope you are not in too much pain. That sounds like fun, Roger. I never rode a dirt bike before. I am in need of Cooter as my car's transmission warning came on the other day on my way home from work. Once home we got a bad storm with big hail. So on top of my transmission problems, I now have a few dings in my car from the hail. Now that said, my car is no General Lee and most people may not think one ioda about it as it's only a 2014 Ford Focus. But it is my baby and it's by far my favorite car that I've had so far so both issues makes me upset. It is currently at the shop and the last I heard was that they were waiting on to see if Ford would pay for the clutch since it had a recall on the clutch, but it was past the recall date. (Go figure...though I don't see how there is a past recall date as a bad part is a bad part. I should be rewarded for it lasting this long. LOL) My landlady raised my rent starting on the first. I was already worrying about how I'm going to make that possible as I am already living paycheck to paycheck. Now to worry about my car on top of it all. Plus work stress and my college class...I'm ready to run far far away. (I'm still paying the bank for my car as well...)

That is great Meadowmuffin! Thank you for sharing that!

Here y'all go again...talking something other than NASCAR on my NASCAR thread. HA. If you are going to be talking about another sport, at least make it baseball related instead. LOL. Sadly I agree. I feel like NASCAR has become more about the drama and less about the racing. I just read this afternoon where Kyle Larson cussed his spotter out and how his crew is tired of his attitude, because Hendrick wants him (Larson) to retaliate against Denny Hamlin and he won't listen to his crew and spotter to do it. Hendrick has always been the least aggressive (when it comes to wrecking and fighting) team out there, so it's disappointing to hear that, but I'm sure it's catching up with the team as a whole for not being in the spotlight even with drivers who are on top of the points and winning races. I am not a Denny Hamlin fan. He's wrecked Chase Elliott enough times as well as apparently Larson as well. He may need an attitude adjustment, but retaliating on the racetrack is seldom a good idea.
