    Autos Class

    well this is the second time i have parked my car in my autoshop class' parking lot. and as we all know, my hood does not latch. so i park the car, running fine mind you, and go to my first two classes.

    so i come back, get in the car to take it into the shop area, and i start it up and the exhaust tone is very choppy and the power is not there. it feels like i am in third from a stop. so i get it into the shop and we change the oil and i fire it up to let it run the oil through and i heard a cracking noise. so i go to the passenger side and low and behold all i see are tons of blue arcs. after i shut the engine off i look and the distributor cap is literally exploded. the metal pieces were exposed and the arc from one cylinder would jump to the arc of another cylinder. thus creating cylinders firing at wrong times and such.

    so we push it out of the building and i call up mr deagle to bring me another cap. as i am taking the old cap off i notice that the spark plug for cylinder number one is laying where the windshield washer fluid tank should be. this gets me to thinking that someone fucked with my car and purposefully did that. becuase the car was unattended to for about 3 hours.

    so i fix the cap with a new one from mr deagle and in the process i find that spark plug wire number 3 is broken off inside the broken distributor cap. so i need a new wires to fix the broken one.

    i hope i find out who violated my already crippled machine. needless to say, that is the last time i will ever park in that parking lot again.

      Do they have any cameras?
      If they do and they've got it on tape,
      Press charges and sue the bastard.

          no there are no cameras, and the teacher has a mind of his own. kids just wander everywhere.

          and like i said before, i have unwanted enemies.

              hahahahhah!

              the best method is to just fix it fast, and then laugh about the problem.

                      Or are you certain it's someone?

                      i inspect under the hood every weekend, and sometime during the week. i check the fan to make sure it isnt loose and i check the belts. and last weekend everything was fine. including the distributor cap.

                      and the fact that the wire was all the way over onto the metal where the washer fluid tank usually is and not hanging down where it would be if it just fell out prompted me to think that someone messed with it.

                      and the fact that i only tie the piece of wire i use to close my hood twice, and when i untied it to change the oil it was tied around 6 times also made me suspicious.

                      and i have about 3-4 people that do not like me in the advanced autos class first hour. and they know a few things about cars.

                      so i am 99.999% sure it was somebody.

                          i do have a paypal account, but i just spent all the money in it and it takes like 3-4 days for new money to be verified into the account. if i had 20 dollars in there i would send you the money. but my buddy devon has a set for me.

                            Um...I dated a really hot rich girl all throughout high-school, and am now engaged to her. It made people *slightly* jealous.

                            Nobody tried to break my car for that particular reason.
                            And my e30 had a perfect body at the time. Just like she did.

                            Are you sure she wasn't secretly trying to kill you?

                              Nah, if she was trying to kill him, she'd probably replace his front end with Karlyn tie rods.
