Default Tonight's Mishaps!

After being stood up, I decided to put in that DV Relocation Kit that had been hiding out in my garage. (6:30pm)

Fiasco, basicly sums up tonights experience! That right hose with the metal T fitting was absolute HELL! I vowed after fitting everything together NEVER to do another turbo hose on this car again! ... which brings me to tonight's real problem...

Everything installed (12:10am) I decide to go out for a little test run before bed. Pull out onto a main street and notice one of the warning lights flikering on and off 1(mph) (???) It goes out so I figure no big deal- I get up and punch it only to be cut short by a LOUD "POP!!!!!" There goes that hose I spent about 5 hours putting on!

I rolled the car back to the driveway and intend on crying myself to sleep now

Have your laughs tonight- tomorow I go to work again, or put the car up for sale, haha.

You could've spent 5 hours talking about nothing with your date. I'll share one of my girlfriends with you. You can have your pick of the litter. I don't work on my car i could break something. Audi does all my work for me.
