Thats pretty much the best way to sum it up. So my brakes are shot...I knew this...well I wanted to go file my taxes and get some money so I can fix my pos car. So I drove it with good intentions...
BAD IDEA
Yea...that was probably the worst decision ever. Yep. So I took the boys to moms so I could file taxes. I was SUUPERR cautious. I have bad brakes ya know. Shifting down and such to slow the van down without using the brakes. Well I got to the tax place without too many problems. Found out it would be easier to file at home and cheaper..so a wasted trip.
Well..I went to the van started her up, started backing out and...it was stuck. I thought maybe I was too close to the curb..because ya know..I do that kind of stuff. NOPE. Worse. My brake had SEIZED. For not car savvy people...my brake locked up. Which means my tire..wouldnt move.
Travis told me just give it all I could to back it up and moving forward is easier. So I was like ok. The sound was horrible, but he was right, moving forward was easier. So we started heading home. Distracted and worried about the damn van..I passed the road home. Oh one more thing...I was almost out of gas. Yea lovely. So I got to the bottom of the hill at the 7-eleven to turn around and BAM out of gas :(.
Let me catch you up...
Bad brakes
Low gas
Drove anyways
Brakes locked
Ran out of Gas..
Bad choice :)
Called Randee to bring me some gas that was a walk away. Decided to submit my story to FML because it was an FML moment. Randee came but it was worse. The brake was COMPLETELY seized. Like tire WOULDNT move. Not forward backward NOTHING. That sound was worse...just horrible. So I had Randee fight it to get home, because home wasnt far just 3 blocks. Basically the tire skidded ALLL the way home, you could smell burnt rubber in the air, and as we pulled in to the drive way POP goes the tire. :/
All because I wanted to file my taxes to get some damn money I blew my tire and seized my brake..oh and my story was rejected from FML..how the hell does that happen?
So yea.
What a damn night.
