It's Always Sumthin'

We were up at the crack o' dawn this morning... literally, like 0600 hrs... so we could get over to The Big(ger) CityTM to have The Tart looked after.  The window on the driver's door decided it didn't want to go up and down on command while I was out Virginia way, which pissed me off mightily.  I thought for the briefest of moments... about 15 minutes, actually, which consisted of me tugging on an unresponsive window switch... that my window was gonna be stuck in the "down" position for a good long while.  That would have necessitated a visit to an away Cadillac Motor Car store for to be fixed, but the window eventually came up and I left it there.  Still and even, we remain unhappy.  Things simply should NOT break on a car that's only 15 months old.

 So, anyhoo... it seems like The Tart needs a new window regulator which was NOT in stock (of course) and had to be ordered.  So we'll go back to Bender day after tomorrow for window repair, part II.  And another early day.  Aiiieee.

 It's always sumthin'.

      The air was blue when this first happened. "Cuss" don't even come CLOSE.

    I long for the days when windows had cranks. Now the windows are automatic and I'm a crank. It is not for the better.

    I had a regulator replaced in Roddy The Wondercar about a year ago. It was on the driver's side. Since then, I have noticed the passenger side becoming a bit slower with each passing week. I know with absolute certainty it will decide to give up the ghost in February during a blizzard. The saving grace, perhaps, will be my getting a story from it and selling same to recover the cost. If it shits the bed in April, with flowers blooming and birds singing, I'll get nothing out of it but a workout of my four-letter vocabulary.

      I had to replace the window regulators in both doors on The Green Hornet... but she was 10 or 11 years old when that happened. I miss the cranks, too... talk about fail-safe!

      I agree... power windows should have cranks, too.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
