Most Expensive Game Unattended

[GeorgiaPeach]

Well, looks like I paid $160 to watch todays ALCS game from the comfort of my own home, opposed to being at the game.

 

f***ing suspension bar on my car broke on the way to the game. Rear tires worn down the wire, almost shredded, car undriveable.

Sorry man, that sucks.

Couldn't nail a train, I imagine? Or does Via even get out that way? I guess you were pressed for time?!

 

Via goes to Windsor and then from there it's really close. You can take a tunnel bus to the game.

Personally, i would call a buddy and try and borrow a car for a night

By the time I got my car towed home it was 4:30. I could've borrowed someone's car, but I would've been driving like a maniac to get to the game, which is out of the question.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Yeah, I'd imagine he was strapped for time with the car issues. Tough luck.

 

Yeah I had no time. When I saw the first tire was bald to the wires and that's where the noise was coming from, I changed it thinking I'd solved the problem. When I went to drive again the noise and driveability of the car was brutal. Got out and saw the 2nd rear tire was also bald to the wires. CAA guy noticed the broken suspension bar and it was pretty much game over at that point.

It's kinda s*** that the costs are all hitting me at once. But if the suspension bar was gonna break, or was broken/damaged it was gonna need to be done anyways. The tires would've also needed to be replaced. And if I have to eat $160 due to the loss of going to the game.....that's the cost and missing the game that bugs me most.

 

Just glad it didn't go in Detroit.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Hahaha....after I put the spare on and started driving and the noise came back. I was like "maybe if I drive slowly on the shoulder I can make it to Detroit in time". But that was just crazy thoughts.

WOW !! I'm thinking you should spend less on baseball tickets and invest in a reliable vehicle,or at least pay more attention to your car and do some maintenance on it. You didn't even notice the obvious condition of your tires??

I thought mall cops made minimum wage .

No I didn't notice the suspension bar snap that caused both my tires to ride and wear on the insides and shred while I was driving 120k on the highway.

 

As for spending less on baseball tickets and more on a reliable car. The car has been more than reliable. Only a couple problems over the course of 10 years. Nothing, major, major.

 

As for making minimum wage. Seeing that my scummy, minimum wage bredgren keep begging for more, its okay by me. I just sit back and enjoy the ride. I'm happy making minimum wage, along with the pension plan and benefits.

Ah darn Chris.

 

Next time buy two tickets and I'll drive! I've got to watch Postseason baseball live sometime!
