Ok so I guess we all go through a period of vehical issues but man I tell you the last few months have been extra special for me. So a little rant to vent lol
First car is the wifes 300. We get a wind storm and decide to got out and bring the dogs in, we get to her car and hear a huge "snap sound" I grab her and stop her just to catch out of the corner of my eye somehting big coming down in front of us. Well a 60 foot tree snapped in half and decided to come down right at us like a massive lawn dart. Long story short, branches hit us, wife panics and punches me in the nose while running, and the tree hits the back of the car, through the window, through the steel frame under it, the trunk and right through the floor boards. Pegged. 12 weeks in the slowest body shop this side of the rockies and has been back 4 times (17K in damage)
Second car, I was taking my kid to play soccer in my Jeep Commander (60K 4x4) and went into a parking lot, with in that their was a puddle, I stopped and watch a few hondas and small cars drive through it and saw that it was only about 8 inches deep and about 50 feet long. SO I figure no problemo. Well I drive through and the jeep stalls on the other side. I restart it and man the clunking noise is unreal, I shut it down and long story short water gets into the motor and blows it (bent all piston rods) perfect just what I got a 4x4 for??? tow it to a shop and they put a new motor in, when I pick it up and drive it about 4 blocks from the dealership it dies?? return to the shop freakout as they never test drove it. SO the mechanic jumps in to drive it into the shop and backs it striaght into a brand new cadillac??? Anyway after getting the body work done and the motor working again I have to go up to Canada to grab some excess furnature from the moms house. Well while driving back with a trailer in tow, in a snow storm the motor decides to stop at 65mph, jack knife, slide, off the hwy but manage to not crash. It does this 5 more times on the way home?? back in the shop!!
Anyway just wanted to rant a bit, lol
