Tonight was one of the most frustrating nights. I called around to see how much it was going to be to transport my car to Phoenix at the lowest price I came up with 1700 clams. My insurance is not going to pay for the transport. So I went to the U haul to rent a car trailor and found out my 4 runner is way too small to pull it. So I borrowed my friends suburban to take it to Phoenix and spent an hour trying to get the car on the trailor. First of all, there is no place to hook the safety chains so that didn't really work out. Secondly, the front tires cannot go all the way to the front of the trailor because the lip is too high and it catches the air dam underneath the car. So I had to put the front tires on 2X4s to get the tires high enough, well that made the car unstable to lateral loads so I ended up taking the car off the trailor and am going to have the adjustor come out and take a look at it and see if it driveable to Phoenix. I am not leaking any fluids, the fluid levels are normal and I don't really see any structural damage. We will see what the adjuster has to say.

This is a very frustrating experience. Why does this always happen right before the holidays. Thanks for allowing me to gripe...I feel minutely better.
