I'm stranded

Sorry I haven't been around for a couple days. I brought the family down to Arlington to zee their first professional baseball game and my Cadillac broke down at the stadium. alternator went out and they had to order one in. Hopefully I'll be back on the toad home tomorrow.

Holed up in a motel with no luggage or anything because it was just yo be a day trip. Do ready to go home.

Re: I'm stranded

Been there done that...I know the feeling 

Sorry to hear buddy 

 

I went fishing with a 3 car group on the way back stopped for dinner.

Ended up hold up in a hotel for 3 days while I waited on a ECM in a small town in Wisconsin with one garage....(say what one?)

The good news was I had purchased a 3 day fishing pass and was within walking distances to the river and the bass were biting.

Hang in there buddy and turn it into a mini family get away...

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: I'm stranded

What is it with Virignia??

 

The state took my car out (accident with Mother Nature) and I was stranded in a hotel too, carless, until I mustered up the courage to call my insurance company and tell them what happened.  After that intimidating call, I had to call the car rental place to come find me in the hotel lobby.

 

I'd say PM if you need something.  I am about an hour away from where you are?  Trying to get home this weekend.

Re: I'm stranded

I'm home!!!!!!  Could have bought a car for what it cost.  Thanks to Amex though, I got out of there.  Now just have to work OT to pay for it!
