Going against my 'gut feeling' I proceeded to head-out on a 1-1/2 hour drive (1-way) in my car to a car show I never ended up making it to ...
I don't know why exactly I was hesitant in heading-out on the drive, because ordinarily (for the last 5 years anyway) my car has been reliable, efficient, dependable, and I've never once had any trouble... but that fateful day, I wish I could have a 'do-over' and if I had, I wouldn't have left my house that morning ...
Early that morning, when I left, all was well/normal, but just as I was getting close to my destination (the car show) my accessories belt blew apart, I knew right away and could deal with the loss of the power-steering, but then had to wait in a long line of cars waiting to get into the show, and within a couple the engine overheated so I tried to head back towards home but soon the engine melted-down and ended it's existence ... and then left me stranded out in the boonies, so that I had no-choice but to call my Dad to come rescue me, then had to spend several hundred dollars to get the car hauled/towed back home to my place ...
Then I wrongly decided to try and fix the car (replace the shockingly blown-up/over-heated/melted-down engine) but after spending several hundred dollars and 2-full days and counting of trying to remove the old engine, and after buying and picking-up a new/replacement engine, I reluctantly decided to give-up on the car, and then with more bad luck, decided to return the replacement engine for a refund, but being unfamiliar and stressed-out about everything happening I never made it ... and instead ended-up way out of the way, then tried to turn around but ended-up in a ditch lost and confused as to where I was ... c/w Ambulance and Police being called by passers-by and assisting me and my ditching, and waited and waited and now because of my Type-1 Diabetes, and my detainance at the ditching site, over/during lunch-time, my ever-lowering blood-sugar eventually became an issue, and is now on record with my driver's license, which is soon due for renewal, and will likely cause me difficulty in getting my driver's license renewed ... and without a driver's license I'm done for, and everything I've ever planned for may be over ...
If only I'd have just stayed home that morning, I'd still have the car (which had been a great commuter for it's excellent fuel-economy sake which I'm soon in need-of, my health-record was still intact, my life in general ...
But now ? Who knows ?!...
