Needless to say i had a pretty bad weekend that eventually turned to good but I am still pissed about it all!
full story:
i leave work on Friday with the rent car and go home and pack everything up in it and we drive over to my parents to grab the kooler and a few other things and as we are pulling out of the drive way mike yells "whoa stop the car" and he looks on the drive way and there is about a 2ft by 1ft oil spot on the drive way... we move it on the street. we call the HERTZ roadside assistance and they tell us that since its after 6 and all other locations except the airport are closed we will have to drive it there or to a pepboys where they can see whats wrong with it! I DON'T THINK SO!! I'm not sitting at a pepboys for 5 hours and there is no way we could have made it to the airport with NO oil in the car (mike pulled the dipstick out and oil wasn't even registering on it) we would have blown the motor a few miles down the road and my house is like at least 45 min away from the airport! so we tell the lady (who was nice at the time) that this problem has already put us 2 hours behind schedule and that they need to bring us a replacement car since this is their fault (the oil had been leaking all day there is a HUGE oil spot at work too and i went straight from the rent place to work so i KNOW i couldn't have done it) and she tells me that it will be about 2 hours until the replacement will get there ... fine whatever whats another 2 hours when we are already 2 behind this would have been putting us on the road at 11 fine we would do that it would be hard but we could do it.... well at 11 we call them back and they tell us that the replacement car is on the tow truck about 20 min away which was the ETA well not even 10 min later we get a phone call from the towing company told us HERTZ at the airport wont release the new rent car to his driver (so we had been lied to already and that's when shit hit the fan) the towing company didn't have the car, they weren't on their way and it would be at least ANOTHER 2 hours till we get the car... well finally after much yelling and screaming by me, mike, and my mom at the hertz lady the replacement car gets there at 2:30 in the morning... there is NO WAY we were gonna leave then to drive 14 hours we couldn't do it physically so we called off Arizona i continued to cry (not only cuz i was mad as hell but i wanted to see my sisters and nephew so bad and to comfort my sister who MC 2 days before ) needless to say my mom is at the car place right now fighting the manger on us not paying a dime cuz it was out of control - we were lied to all night we had to stay up and wait until 2:30 the morning and if we could/would have left it would have put us 7 hours behind....
so we went home and got a few hours sleep my mom pulled a few strings and got a hotel room down on the Texas coast (which took us abut 8 hours to get to & which was packed and all the hotels had "no vacancy" in the windows) and we spent Saturday and Sunday there and left Monday went through the towns where i grew up and saw my grandparents...
it wasn't all that horrible but the start of the weekend was just kinda a buss kill not to mention more expensive that what we planned on... i hope my week goes better than what the weekend was and not to mention the water was beautiful and the weather was perfect but we were on the beach MAYBE an hour and i got burnt and mike is so burnt he has blisters!
