For those of you who dont know, my younger brother drives a 98 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro with many issues, none of which he has taken care of in a timely fashon. The car has been making a grinding noise in first gear for a while now, and humming at over 30. along with a bad wheelbearing, no power steering because of a leak in the rack, ect…
So on with the story.
He comes over tonight, like he does almost every night after work. we’re both hungry, so we decide to go to wegmans. He gets cheesecake, milk and yogurt because for some reason my little brother suddenly turned into a middle-aged pregnant woman. I got beer and pizza because im a real man. Pizza which is probably burning in the oven as we speak. brb.
Anywho, we go to leave wegmans and while driving by the clarion hotel he notices a large empty parking lot with a good amount of snow. quattroing fun seems to be in our future. He pulls in, and we blow some doughnuts, nothing to crazy. while pulling out the car starts bucking, and makes a horrable grinding sound when letting out the clutch. now it smells like burning gear oil. great…
So here we are, in the middle of mckinley, standing outside of a broken audi. just my idea of fun for a sunday night. he keeps getting in the car and trying to drive it, i tell him to stop, he is only making things worse. i take out the cell and call AAA. they’re on their way. good. please before the cops come i say to myself, as the car isnt inspected and cops are bad news for the most part. sure enough, just as i say that i see red lights flashing from down the street.
awesome.
Frank looks over at me. “My license is suspended.”
fucking awesomeeeeeeeeeee
the cop comes over, asks what happened, asks whos car it is. we explain things to him, he asks who was driving. i say i was driving. he looks around the car, “did you know you were driving a car with no inspection?” I look at frank. “no, officer, i had no idea.”
He goes back to his car, AAA shows up, and has a hell of a time trying to get the car on the flatbed. The wheels are moving like it is still in gear, but it definitly is in neutral.
Long story not so long, the cop drives me home, the AAA guy drives my brother and his broken audi home, and i have court on the 5th for no inspection on a car i neither own nor have ever driven.
:tup:
and no points so it could be worse
