Those days when you have car problems sure are the worst, don’t you think?
I was driving home from work one day in Kansas City in a horrible snowstorm and my car got stuck on some snow and ice on an incline and I just couldn’t move, no matter what I did.
Luckily, a guy with a pick-up truck was nice enough to stop and he tied a rope from his truck to my car and dragged me out. What a guy!
I have to say, though, I don’t think I’ve ever had as bad of a car experience as the people in these pictures did…
Let’s see what happened to them…
I at least hope your honeymoon was nice and relaxing.

It’s not just junk flying out of your truck. It could be someone’s life. Secure your load – as if someone you love is driving behind you. from Wellthatsucks
I hope these folks got out of that car safely.

This is totally wild.

Sorry. That really sucks!
Picked my car up from the mechanic yesterday after having a bunch of things replaced totalling $2100 just to have burst into flames on me this morning. I’m too poor for this shit! from Wellthatsucks
Your poor dad…

You just never know…
Also, how did that happen?!?!
See what happens when you don’t pay attention?
Well…that sucked…
But you know the drill…now we want to hear from you.

It’s pretty much a meme at this point that any time you think you’re doing OK in life or you finally have some money saved, that’s when car problems strike and ruin absolutely everything. It’s a huge problem for me, a mechanically inept person.
My grandfather knows absolutely everything about cars, my dad knows some things, I know nothing. Following this pattern I assume my future son will not even understand what a car is.
Mechanical issues are of course exacerbated by unscrupulous mechanics who know that you can’t fix the problem on your own and will come up with all sorts of ways to trap you into paying way too much for a process that’s actually pretty simple. I need a new headlight installed. How long does that take? 10 minutes? 4 hours? I have no idea. I’m at the mercy of the guy quoting me a price.
Unless, of course, I come up with an ingenious plan, like this Tumblr user did.
Nothing like a little bit of price gouging to start off a good story.

So there ya have it. A life hack for those of us who are mechanically challenged. Go forth, and save some dough.
What weird loophole have you used to save money?

When Toyota debuted its Lexus LS400 model, two drivers reported a minor issue. Toyota recalled every one of the 8000 cars sold. They sent a dealer to pick up the car and leave a loaner car free of charge. The car was returned repaired, washed, detailed, with a full tank of gas and a gift.
