Bad Luck Comes in threes.

Bad Luck Comes in threes.
So I finally sold the Body Kit thanks to HCF. Immediatly turned the profit around to buy my lowering kit. Bought H&R Springs to drop 1.75" up front and 1.5" for the rear and have the KYB shocks and all that good stuff. Well my neighbor who owns a garage said that he'd let me get it on the lift and use all the tools of the shop to do the job as long as it was on Friday. Just my luck everything comes in but the Springs. Tirerack got backed up and didn't ship them when they were supposed to. Oh well. Then when taking my car yesterday to get my windows tinted, the idiot shop owner forgot the appointment and wasn't there. I called him and, after apologizing, he told me to come back two hours later and he'd drop $25 off of the price. I came back after those 2 hours, and waited at the shop for another 2 hours... he never showed up. Then to round it all off on my way home from work tonight the tranny shot. It won't go into 1st or 2nd gear and I know it's not the clutch, because I just replaced it about 4 months ago. So now I have a full suspension sitting in my kitchen for a car that doesn't move. Lovely... Oh well i guess. I'm going out tommorow to maybe purchase a used tranny for it. Only 6000 miles on it and they are asking 600 Bucks. Then again I should be happy the original tranny lasted the 170,000 miles it did. That's my little story about this week.
