My car has a mind of it's own

Yesterday I couldn't get my sunroof to close. No matter what I tried it would not stay closed! So knowing that the sun could turn to rain in a matter of minutes I knew I had to get it taken care of ASAP unless I wanted rain soaked interior. I left work and drove the 30 miles down to the dealership, all the while still trying to get the stupid sunroof to shut. Eventually I just gave up!

(Not actually my car, but you get the point...)

As I pulled up to the service department I automatically went through my normal getting out routine: turned in my mirrors, put my iPod in glove box, grabbed my purse and closed the sunroof. And what do you know...the stupid thing shut!!!

I was in disbelief so I opened it up and closed it again. Yep, it worked just fine! I felt pretty stupid going inside and telling them that my urgent appointment was no longer required. Turns out my breaks needed replacing and I was due for an oil change anyways, so my trip wasn't a total waste. Plus, I got to skip out from work a few hours early. Maybe that was the Sun God's way of giving me a few hours off?? Hey, I'll take it!!

Great don't you love it when that happens?!? Be thankful it started working again, if it were my car my dad would have told me to not use it again and if it happens again we can gerry-rig it up to work. Glad it got all "fixed"!

I'm sorry, but I am laughing so hard!

With you of course. Maybe.
