check out this badass parking job. notice that i'm ALMOST in the road. yeah...that was all she wrote. drove all the way home, ON THE FREEWAY (the onramp was downhill...i picked that one), across kalanianaole, and up hawaii kai drive...stalls on a hill comin' down on kahului but starts up again before she rolls to a stop....and stalls COMPLETELY right the fuck where you see her now. unbelievable. i almost crashed into that hibiscus bush there on the right 'cause the steering wheel is a bitch and a half to turn when the car's dead (the brakes lock too).

of course my neighbors were standing across the street chatting. hah. she sounds like all hell, i'm not even kidding. i'm sorry raimi! but she's home.

oh btw she just needed to cool down a little (she was overheating) and she started up again a few minutes ago (4 hours after this pic) and i got her into the garage. my mom was horrified to hear it and my dog jumped. sounds like a 350 cubic inch lawnmower....something is definitely banging in there. a lot. but she's home. and i'm leaving the island on monday for POSSIBLY two months...so at least she's home so i can relax about it.

$894

if i can revive her, it's worth it.
