(Terrible video, but the audio is good, and I do admire the maraca player's enthusiasm!)
Actually, it's struts, plural. Last week I sat at the car repair place, trying all the flavors of coffee that they have, reading Car and Driver magazine, knitting, listening to the clank of wrenches, the squeal of air compressors, and singing this song in my head.
I did love to watch my struts being installed, as they must really be something special for the price of $889.89. I had high hopes (although not realistic ones) that these might make my car fly like Mr. Weasley's Ford Anglia. I thought about singing a few lines of Her Struts for Kenny the mechanic, but since I do like him, I decided against it.
They wouldn't let me go into the garage area to take any pictures, but in my search for one more lousy photo, I climbed under my car to see what struts are and what they do. They do look substantial and seem to have something to do with holding the car up. All I can think about is how much yarn and how many books I could have purchased instead (and my car still doesn't fly).

Yikes! It's things like this that give being an adult a bad rap.
ReplyDeleteDouble yikes! I too spent $818. plus a tow at the dealer last week. On a diesel VW that will be taken back shortly and most likely crushed. Booooooooooo. I like your soundtrack though!
ReplyDeleteWhile the music is fantastic, the car problem - not so much! Ouch! That is painful all the way over here!
ReplyDeleteBut, I bet your ride is smooth and going around a corner feels more stable.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I hate repairs like that!! I usually can't tell the difference!
ReplyDeleteI will tell you what I tell everyone who has to pay a lot for a repair (and what I tell myself), it is probably 1-2 months of a car note. If I had to pay a car note every month these days, I would fuss every month. Hopefully, this will be the end of it for awhile, and I love your mental soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteugh, car troubles suck. I think you should get a free day pass for NaBloPoMo for this one ;-)
