Today, I took my car into the shop to get a minor problem fixed. I left several hours later, without my car. Why? The mechanic crashed it while out on a test drive to make sure he'd fixed the problem. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took a car out for a test drive to investigate a mysterious clunking noise. I heard the exact sound the customer had described, and then realized a wrench had been left on top of the engine and had slipped down and got caught near the battery. I had to come back and explain that the issue had been a skill issue. FML
Today, I test-drove a customer’s car to investigate a strange noise. I heard the exact clunk she'd described. It was actually a wrench I’d left under the hood sliding around and hitting things. I had to return and sheepishly explain that the problem was entirely my fault. FML
Today, I drove my truck into the garage for a couple of minor repairs. It was returned on a flatbed with a blown engine. FML

Today, I finally got my car back after it was in the auto shop for a week. On my way home, I started swerving all over the road. It turns out they didn't tighten the lug nuts on one of my wheels properly. FML
Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML
Today, I took my car to dealer because of the loud knocking sound I heard while driving it. Twenty-four hours later, they told me it was fixed. Fifteen minutes after I drove away, the tire flew off my car while I was on the highway. My car is now totaled. FML
Today, my car was broken in for a second time in a month and a half, and for the second time it's now Inoperable. I only got it returned from repairs two days ago. FML

Bright side: You get to buy a new car with all the money they will need to give you for your old one. I think by "crashed", you mean had sex with a hooker and killed her, then drove over a cliff, jumping out just in time, to dispose of the evidence.

This would be a good time to demand a loaner until they repair all the damage (for free of course).

Make sure to ask for depreciation value from the dealership and demand it to be repaired to it's original condition.

Awww. :) I can't see your pic, man person, so I don't know how doable you are. Missionary is my favorite position! Yay. I'm redbluegreen and lauralatch's true loves. There's enough of me to go around! I'm having plexi-babies, along with the offspring of several others. :D

that's why I take my car to a friend of my dads who has a mechanic shop because he's trustworthy and doesn't drive my car like he stole it. good luck getting it fixed.

They should! I am, quite literally, going to be the mother of Fmylife.com! I'm gonna have lauralatch's babies, KaySL's babies, and plexico's babies. I'm sure that list isn't exhaustive. Also your comparison to the Nazi women made me giggle. I love it!

Wow you must have had a really nice car they wanted to play with! In a small way it could be a compliment?? But I'm curious what they said to the cops; because if they took it without your knowledge, couldn't you go back and say it was stolen? Basically do whatever you can to **** them over the way they did to you :)

you know you have to test drive it to make sure you actually did fix it, otherwise the customer will come back bitching about how it isnt fixed. The guys a jackass for wrecking it though
