Thumbs down Murphys law

Why,you work hard all week ,clock up the hours for some extra $, pay all the Bills,Have the SuperSport booked into the workshop on Monday coming,then you find when you pull up in the driveway,the Radiator is shtting itself in the Car....

What better way to relieve the Tension than buying a slab of my favourite German Lager!!!
[With a bit of luck in a few hours i will be shaking my fist muttering "Hogan" & will have forgotten about the Car]

I hear ya, sixpack. That sucks.
I was saving up for some new gear a few weeks ago. and the week I was gonna pull the trigger and buy the stuff... I cracked a dam tooth and the starter went out of my truck.
Dentist bill was $300 even with 80% insurance and I'm not even done yet.
It looks like the starter issues may actually be an electrical problem, too..

My wife and three kids were involved in a pileup tonight. She ended up being rearended by the guy that got rearended behind her...It was the third car in line whose driver was at fault. They claimed they were looking for a courier shop when all of a sudden the traffic was stopped in front of them. It pays to watch the road.
Everybody is okay but the van needs some work.
