My car's name is Chrissy....

....short for Christine!

My car has given me issues on and off since I hit that thing on I-10 back in 2007. I used to say tread but as much damage as it did I am not sure I didn't hit a hunk of metal or concrete. Now granted for having such high mileage AND being dinged up on the inside she runs pretty well and definitly lives up to her zoooom zoooom status. Well today she went all weirdo on me, living up to her name, Chrissy!

I left work early today to go to the Dr. I was running late (its a 5 min drive without traffic but traffic was BAD!) so of course I was zooming in and out of traffic to get there as quickly and safely as I could and all was fine. Dr appt went well so I headed home. I decided to get gas before getting on the interstate so I stopped at the place right outside the parking area. Well Friday traffic is ridiculous so it was stop and go for about 5 miles. Once I got out of the city it was clear sailing....except for me. I tried to pass a truck and I noticed I had limited pick up. Odd she was working fine just a little while ago. So I gun it and she is just NOT having it. I got her up to about 75 MPH and left her there for fear of a catastrophic melt down.

I texted my mechanic friend (I know I know BAD for texting while driving). I said "Thoughts...? My car is possessed...I set the cruise on 75...on flat I10...its going up and down between 70 and 78...then foot on the accelerator and couldn't get above 70...it actually decelerated. It seems to be ok now....but what causes that...?!" He said "hmmm that's odd, I just changed her plugs and oil and she was fine". I said "well I just got gas". He said "Oooo you may have gotten a small amount of bad gas or you may have a small amount of trash in your tank." So all the way home she kind of didn't want to go and I thought I heard a noise but I wasn't sure if it was just the wind or something. I went buy some StarTron (E-10/gas tank cleaner) and hoped that would help. I can't have a broken car I have two Bridal Showers this weekend and one is mine! We shall see. . . .
