My car isn't starting this morning
:cry:
At least I have the day off! Being it's a diesel, I think I've got some water in the fuel system somewhere that's frozen. Here's hoping it gets warm enough today that I can get it to start!

11. I haven't driven my car since Valentine's Day!
First, because the switch to turn on the heater fan is stripped,
due to being frozen (unbeknownst to me) and I tried to force it. argh!

Then because the car was covered in 3 inches of ice!!
I couldn't get the doors open! I gave up. :rofl:

My son has a car so he's the official errand runner, for now. lol

It feels like -12 here now, with the wind but it should be in the 40's tomorrow or high 30's.

Hopefully all the ice will melt and I'll be brave enough to go out and DRIVE!!!!

:woohoo:

Winter sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:
