Funny Car Story

    Hi Guys

    I just though I'd share with your a funny Car story that happened with me on the weekend.

    So I'm meeting up with a girl (first date), and we were going for dinner that evening. dinner was lovely and we go back to my car and have a chat, she also drives and her car was in the car park too.

    Anyway it was freezing cold. so I had the heater on and then all of a sudden (having the heater on for like 5 min) my battery goes flat. I had jumper cables with me but was worried about asking for a jump from her car as I would look like a total idiot! especially on the first date like!

    Anyway I pluck up the courage in the end. and asked would she pop her hood.... she looked at me funny and said "that's a bit much for a first date". So I had to explain that my car battery had died and that I needed Jump. (she wasn't really aware it was dead, but I knew it was as I could see the lights fading on the radio and I KNEW the car wouldn't start)

    So anyway she gets out a drives her car up to mine and I connect the cables. as I soon as I start the car the Alarm goes off. and the Alarm on my car is seriously loud. and no matter what I tried I would not turn off. was going for about 5 min! anyway after 5 min there was enough juice in the battery to start the car. I did so and the Alarm went off after using the key fob.

    I had to leave the car running then for about 10 min. to charge up my battery a bit. She pretty much said goodbye as soon as I disconnected the cables and I probably wont hear from her again, she was very beautiful too.

    F*cking Cars! Why do we bother?

    First date like! I must look like an Idiot! I should have just played it off and got a mate to pop down after to jump the Car! :o

    That's what I was thinking. Unless ye had just driven back from the restaurant??

    Once fell asleep in the car with a girl parked across the road from her house with the engine ticking over and the heaters on full blast. Her dad was not impressed when he woke us up about 4 hours later when he was going to work.:pac:

    I once met a girl a fancied at the bus stop, made her treck 15 mins through a blizzard to my car as I promised her a lift home (which would be more convenient than the two buses she would have had to take)

    .... only to find my car completely buried by the snowplough. :D
    (and no shovel in sight)

    Last bus was gone by that stage as well and I had to ask my father to give her a lift home :o

    And in an Evo it would have cost around €4000 in petrol to leave it running for 10 minutes :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,815 ✭✭✭✭Anan1


    But the heater won't work without the engine running! (unless the car has a separate pump to circulate the coolant, which I don't think an Evo V does)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭chickenhawk


    That's nothing. I once collected a girl for a date in a saxo! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭rocknchef


    and I was waiting on the end of the story from earlier as to how the dint got into the bonnet;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,209 ✭✭✭T-Maxx


    Sounds to me like you:

    1. Don't know that a heater only works when the engine is running (or warm at least),
    2. Don't know how to jump start a car,
    3. Don't know what to do with a date,
    4. Have a warped sense of humour.

    Aint it gas how we all have our own funny stories,

    what were we all thinking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,694 ✭✭✭✭L-M


    Hah! I've an oh so funny story.

    I know someone who was on a similar first date with a girl, but they were driving around. He ended up going down these back roads, and eventually getting lost. He then decided he'd turn around, so he pulled in. Trying to show off, he turned off the traction control and let rip. Boom. Drive shaft snapped in half. Couldn't be collected as it was 2 in the morning and it was pitch black, plus the fact he was lost. Ended up sleeping in the car, well she slept, he nervously stayed up all night. An AA truck passed them and brought them into town for free:D

    To add to the humour, he saw this car coming down the road towards him, so pulled out his flash light and started waving them to stop. Four lads in a Civic who thought he was "the shades", laughed, and sped home :D

    Thats nothing, try a magenta cinquecento.

    Surprisingly it didn't affect precedings, not until I offered to drop her to work the next morning, walked out the door and the car was being loaded onto a flatbed - I'd parked in a clearway :o - never been more embarrased!

    Years ago, I pulled in for petrol with a girl I hadn't been with yet but quite fancied in the car. All went well until I was getting back into the car, when I somehow managed to shut the door on my head.

    I have one of those stories too. Many years ago when I was courting my future wife I took her out to a restaurant deep in the country. On the way home she suggested a quick route over the hills. I said I didn't think that road lead anywhere, but she (as all women do) knew better. So we took the road and ended up bogged down to the axles in a field. I called the AA on my mobile after giving up trying to get out, and the AA man eventually found us. He had that knowing grin all over his face as he dragged us out of the field while she writhed in embarrassment. I think I won that one:D

    I took a girl out to restaurant once. I knew the starter motor on my car was ****ing up but usually after couple of tries the car would start (yeah it is french :D ) So had the meal in the restaurant, all fine. Went back to the car and as I tried to start it the starter motor made this wierd noise and nothing happend. I live about 25 miles from the place where she lives so I had to get the car started somehow. Lucky for me I was parked on a small hill, so I had to pushe the car on my own to jumpstart it (Renault Laguna- not small car) Heven't been talking to that girl since :D

    several years back went for a "drive" with a fine lady in the Phoenix Park late late at night, one thing led to another, which led to another, which ended up leading to both of us on the back seat with my bony white ass pressing against the back driver side window.

    Everythings going (relatively) well until out of nowhere a car appears, drives right up to my car and puts the full beams on and beeps.....

    cue one flustered hammertime leping over the front seat like a gazelle (and nearly neutering myself in the process) and trying to start the engine to get the hell out of dodge. Next thing the car flashes its nice shiny circular blue lights at me :o

    so I roll down the window, trousers around me ankles to hear voice shout out, "don't get out of the car ye fu*kin eejit, will you look where your fu*kin parked next time...." and off he drives.

    Confused, the young amorous hammertime looks around a bit bewildered, only the see directly out of the passenger window a Irish flag flying very close by.

    Bit of a stupid place to put Aras an Uachtarain if you ask me.......

    :o

    Try waking up on a cold Wednesday morning to find that the reason your car grunchs, grinds, thuds and scratches.... then refuses to even start.... is because there was a rat in the Serpentine belt....

    And said rat is now coating the inside of your engine bay.

    I dont think it had much of an arse left. Only knew it was a rat because of it's head. And the smell.

    Worst thing of all... the bugger managed to shear the belt as he died.... Expensive... Expensive. >...<
