So, where the f*k am I?

[LC stogiechat homebrew gnome]

ok, little bit o backgroud.  I ran my car off the road a few weeks ago, and caused $2,500 worth of damage, equaling roughly 2 weeks of work on said projectile vehicle, and same ammount of time in a rental.  The gnome is unharmed (we are resiliant little f*kers), other than a dent in the wallet for the deductable and another dent in my patience from this rental KIA Rio.  The damn thing has had a dead battery, flat tire, actually has manual mirrors and door locks and windows, and then today:

I lock the damn keys in the car.  So I call the rental place, but somehow they magically don't keep spare sets to thier vehicle, and tell me to call a locksmith and spend $50 to get the keys out.  I ask them to call the dealership and have a key cut and I will pay for it- after this takes 20 minutes of me on hold, the rental place comes back on to announce that the dealership can't cut a key, 1. because they can't find a blank key and 2. because I'm pretty sure they couldn't find the machine that makes the damn keys. 

I would like to say that the story ended by me throwing a rock through the window, then driving the car off a cliff and standing at the top of said cliff with a big cuban cigar and my fixed vehicle and laughing my ass off, then driving away from this leap backwards in time.  We got it with a coat hanger and a screwdriver and went back to working. 

I feel much better now.

Bad story good ending. It's tough being out of your element, ain't it.

geezzz... sorry to say I laughed (but only at the funny parts). Man that's a lot of bad luck. Well, it can ONLY be up from here. So good fortune on a rapid improvement!!! (& real happy no one was hurt!)

important thing is you're not hurt, but looking back at the story, it is kinda funny

KIA Rio.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

glad you're okay grant.  think a kia is bad try a ford festiva.  so bad we left the rental in the parking lot and just said screw it.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck, and glad gnomes dont hurt easily!!

i believe a gnome may be the only living creature that can actually fit into a kia.


seriously, i'm very glad you weren't damaged in the original wreck. perhaps the beer gods intervened on your behalf.

I just read your story. I feel bad for you but I have to say, I feel lucky and I ain't complaing about those back pains I have.
