The love of my life just died today. Lucy, my d.d. 7, blew her coolant seals. I am so depressed, this car was my baby. Anyone who knows me knows that I am in love with this car. I am devestated that she is dead. I am stuck at school now with no car, no way to get around, no way to get to work or run errands and worse, no way to get home. I am not allowed to work on her either because my apartment lease won't allow you to work on cars. I am screwed. Not to mention that in less than 10 hours I am flying to Orlando to see my grandfather who is dying in the hospital. Ah yes, this has been a terrific day. BTW, so does anyone have a running 12a engine lying around that they want to give me out of the goodness of their heart?

I was gona say something funny till I read the grandfather dying part.

how can you be insensitive when a 7 just died?



--Lauren

**** the car, your grandad is dying. Oh wait, is there going to be any kind of inheritence?

Who the **** cares about a car when your grandfather is dying? Get your ******* priorities straight.

Inheritance is the last thing on my mind.

Exactly.

My priorities are straight. I'm terrified of seeing him tomorrow, completely helpless, hooked up to machines and not being able to do anything to save him. He's been like a father to me, and I guess I'm trying not to think about the inevitable.

As much as I should be in bed sleeping, I can't sit still, my nerves are through the roof even after a few drinks. ugh.

Keep your chin up, kiddo. And don't worry about the car right now.

If I had a 12A just lying around, ide give it to ya, all my grandparents are dead so I know how ya feel.

I can see how it relates, but the human is more important...obviously. A rebuild is always within reach...too bad theres no rebuild kit for humans.

beatrix DAMN IT!

Thanks for the pep talk guys. I just got in from Orlando to visit my grandpa. I was only able to stay one night with him due to the weather issue down here in the southeast. I saw so many 2nd gens when I was driving from the airport to the hospital, it made me happy and sad at the same time. But as far as my granddad goes, he is slowly but surely stablizing from the surgery and they are actually going to let him go home in a few days, I think. And his sense of humor is back, which is a good sign. That means he's starting to feel like himself again. He was very emotional when I got there and cried in front of me for the first time. I'm glad I got to see him, even though it was only for a little while.
