A few nights ago, I went to pick up Borst and Neeraj so we could have dinner with Konrad at Pao Lim. As I pulled out of my driveway, I heard a loud THUMP (over Tupac's lyricism) from the front of my car. A bit worried, I drove around the cul-de-sac to see if the car was still working ok. Everything seemed ok...

The air-conditioning in my car has never worked; an attempt to get the A/C fixed during my car inspection failed, but I'm largely apathetic because I like driving with my windows down anyways.

In any case, after the *THUMP*, my air-conditioning has been working perfectly. How often does a bad sound yield good things in cars?

I thought you were gonna say you ran over some homeless guy. 'I drove around the cul-de-sac to see if the car was still working ok' indeed.

When you hear "The transmission's fixed. That'll be $800." Bastards.

Probably a loose wire connected when you bounced or something like that. Then the compressor kicked in for the first time. Don't question it -- cars are magic. :-)
