Great timing
January 31st, 2006Gosh, things have been fast and furious in here this afternoon. Here’s something a little less controversial:
So we’re trying to sell our 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. We have two other vehicles now, and we’ve been trying to sell this thing for about a month.
I get a call last night from a guy who’s interested. Just as I’m driving to meet him, what happens? The blasted clutch goes out. Estimate to fix: $900.
So a car that I was hoping to sell for at least $1,000 now is basically worthless to me. Great timing, huh? Why couldn’t the dang clutch have gone out a week from now?
Ah. But think about it. If it had gone out in a week you would have had one angry man calling your house telling you that you sold him a broken car.
At least you avoided that hassle.
Hey, let the buyer beware.
Steven is right. At least you know what you have now. Keep it, get it fixed, and join the demolition derby circuit. Who knows, maybe you’ll be good at it and win more money than what the car is worth. And what a great way to let out your frustrations.
Did you allow this particular car to watch television unsupervised? If so, would you have allowed it to watch the Super Bowl or Professional Christian Wrestling instead of going to church? Might explain your clutch problem.
Actually, Tony, I think God was punishing me for giving Gaza away. Oh, wait, that was Ariel Sharon who did that.
Very good, dear brother…..I needed that!
Ok…furthering discussion…I have a question I would like ya’ll to consider over at my website (click my name) and give me input on. It is one I have been wonderign for a while and was curious as to ya’lls input.
And yes this is me using Tim’s popular blog to get traffic for myself.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy.
Pimp all you want to — just make sure you pay the piper (you should be able to figure out what that means). —————->
Tim is absolutely shameless.

I just clicked on them all.
And I was unsupervised. I clicked on them all. And loved it. It made my fingers tingle.
I ask you all….how many places can you go and get your theology and your kids straightened out with just one click of the mouse? Only at www.timellsworth.com. I proud to be an e-American!

This sounds kind of like the Cardinals, having a little trouble in the clutch. Oh wait! That was so uncharitable of me. Sorry.
Think of it this way, Tim. You can use your car for one of those radio contests, “What would you do for tickets?” Smash! Smash!
Super Bowl tickets, I mean. Not Diamond Jaxx.
Well, I did sell the car. The cost of the new clutch cut into the profits, but at least I made some money.
Dang it Tim! We could have drug it out in one of them there fields and shot it with high power rifles, pistols and some good old fashioned assult rifles. That really would have been fun. Maybe throw a few gallons of gasoline in it and some propane bottles and went to town on it. Shucks we coulda even smoked some cegars while we were at it. Oh well. Maybe next time.
All’s well that ends well.
