So on Sunday I drove my car to my mechanic's shop so that I could do my clutch install myself in his garage using his tools, since I no longer have any tools because they got stolen. This was the same mechanic who did my swap, but I had no intention of having him touch the car. Well it turns out that I'm 100% completely mechanically retarded...at the end of the day I didn't even have both axles out of the car. frown.gif

And since it was in the shop's main bay and my mechanic had to have it out of there and I had to work, I couldn't continue on it and had to pay him to do my clutch installation. So I got my car back today and took it for a drive...it is now so screwed up it's ridiculous. Now I have to hold the wheel ten degrees or so clockwise to drive straight! mad.gif

I also have a new paint chip on the side of my door from my mechanic hitting the door with something, and my front brakes squeal when I come to a stop. It's so ridiculously sick how retarded my mechanic is. My car was fine except for a bad throwout bearing due to my mechanic being a retard and using the wrong one on my tranny. Now it doesn't drive straight and my brakes squeal. mad.gif

I just don't even know what to do anymore...my car used to be nice...now look at it...it's a piece of garbage...I don't even think I could sell this car anymore. frown.gif

Thanks for all the support everyone. I love you all.

But owning a Celica is coming to an end for me. My mom just officially kicked me out of the house, and is dropping me from insurance, and promises that she'll never help me out with college funding again. She thinks I'm on drugs because I'm angry about the situation, and all she ever says is how cars completely ruin my life.

Apparently now it's my fault that my mechanic's retarded, it's my fault that my tools got stolen so I couldn't do it myself, everything is my fault, and I'm just trying to be a good kid. I don't steal, I don't hurt people, I don't do drugs, I'm just trying to have fun with a car, but now it's over. I'm in tears right now writing this, but there's just no way I'll be able to pay for insurance, especially since I'll have to live on my own now. And my car, I don't even know what to do...I'd love to keep it and slowly work on it, but it just can't happen. I just hate my parents, or at least my mom. For the last couple months, all she's done is hate me...everything's my fault...I'm the bad kid...I don't deserve any help from them because I have a job...I must be on drugs because I get angry when my car gets destroyed...etc. I HATE IT! Everything seems to go wrong with my life, and it seems like there's nothing I can do....now I'm in tears, gonna be without a Celica, gonna be without the love from my mom, my friends are doing cocaine, I'm constantly stressed/bitter/angry/pissed/depressed/sad/etc., life just sucks.
