Most of my posts are, no other way for me to pass your post count in a such short amount of time.
My clutch is now slipping, and I don't have the time or tools necessary to drop a transmission out of a late model Volvo. So, that just means $$$ (translation £££). During the San Francisco portion of my road trip, I spent 25 minutes in 0/1 mph traffic uphill on a 37° street (which is how long it took me to reach a parking spot for some respite). We could smell the burning of my clutch for well over an hour after that.
I don't know why I posted that, I think this a vehicular transportation thread, right?

I think it has become more than just the vehicular transportation fred, and become more of a 'things that have deeply fucked me off IRL fred', it's just that vehicular transportation because of the cost is more frustrating than most. Being more than slightly ratarsed right now, my personal list of things that fuck me off is longer than usual, but the length of the list is determined by several factors (I just can't be arsed listing them right now......).

Im crap at DIY
in my house do it yourself really does mean do it yourself.
The gloves are already off, madam. I'll be an unstoppable force, given that I've managed to nearly catch up with gloves on.
Friend had his water pump lock up and the serpentine belt tore off the pulley. Dealer quoted him $400 in labor, in addition to parts for replacing the water pump and belt (to a grand total of $800). Decided it was best to do a DIY part swap. Just found it strange that it was the water pump, and not one of the A/C, Power Steering, tensioner or crank pullies.

Re: Skynet - Thought the sods had sent the parcel back to Hong Kong last Monday - got home tonight and there was a message on my phone "if you call us we can arrange a delivery"
Next day delivery? The thing arrived in the UK on the 1st of November, it must have sat in their warehouse in London (somewhere I'm increasingly convinced it has never left) for a whole week.
Total and utter shower - fact!
