Boy oh boy, it has been one of those days! This car is driving me crazy!!!
I had decided to grasp my flat-head screwdriver to pry off the hubcap. With poor success, I tried driving a wedge between the rim and cap. The effort has driven success!
I used my impact driver to remove the lug nuts from the wheel studs.
Now I see the brakes are worn from excessive braking while driving.
I had to drive to the part store (in my other vehicle) to retrieve new brake pads.
A fellow driver had driven me off the road on my way back from the part store. The result...I drove right into a ditch. My bumper had driven into a tree...causing my radiator to be driven into my engine block. Now I had to call a tow-truck to drive to my wreck.
The driver of the tow-truck drove the wreck and myself home. I paid the driver with my triple "A" driver credit card that drove savings for such driving matters.
This will drive up my credit debt.
Now I need to drive up motivation to replace the brake pads on the car.... so I can drive again to the part store to purchase a radiator for my other vehicle. So I replaced the brakes on the now drivable car. I drove the car to the part store, just to learn that the part driver has not delivered the radiator.
So I drove over to the coffee shop to drive my patience up and wait for a radiator. Well...a cellphone call had driven me back to the part store. The driver had delivered the radiator. I paid for the radiator with my triple "A" driver reward card (the same card for the tow) of course.
I'm driven to get rid of that card sometimes...but now it helps...driving up my debt.
I will need a little help with the radiator. The driver side radiator mount has been driven into the radiator itself. If I put the new radiator in without the mount...the new radiator will drive itself into the mounting frame. Now I must drive to a new store...because the mount is unavailable anywhere else.
This is driving me crazy! I'm going to drive down to the dealership to purchase a reliable and drivable vehicle. :lol:

The frame that mounts the radiator is bent....and the mount will not line up anyway. The mounting frame will need to be pulled back to the original position.
