How much would that cost?

Amazon shows prices from $30 to $180 for different kinds of cars.

For mine it's around 100$ plus I don't have tools, and the car won't even start, so…

As much trouble as you've had with your car, it might be sunk cost fallacy at this point, if you have a guaranteed roof at your destination. Selling it for a bus fare might be the better option, depending on how much stuff you'd have to carry.

Roof might not be guaranteed though. Haven't been watching the hurricane but I think it's hitting around there?

Have you considered just pushing it into a different lot?

Have you tried reaching out to churches in your area? They might be soft enough to let you park there for an extended time.

What's your estimate on total cost to get it to a shop and repaired? I don't know the prices down in Florida.

Got it looked at. The oxygen sensor is fine. The camshafts are misaligned or… fuck I forget. The upshot is 3k+ to fix it.

So it's junk. Off to South Carolina I go.

Fuck it. This might be the better way.

That's a lot of stuff all at once jeez. I hope at least things pick up better for you and you get to South Carolina okay cuz life is just pouring lemons on you and not the fun kind.
 
I am thinking about calling animal services if my neighbors let their dog loose again without supervision.

Well, rip out everything worth saving, call a "cash for junk car" place that includes towing away, sell the car, and find a bus.

It gets you out of Pensacola, at least.
 
I never realized how much sentiment I had wrapped up in this damn car til I had no choice but to junk it.

Some part of me sees it as the last part of my Dad. I loved my Dad a lot. He was really cool and fun to hang out with but he didn't do that cringy "be friends with your kids" shit. He was cool and still Dad, if you get what I mean?

Still, there's nothing else to be done.

I admit the thought of sleeping in a place that isnt surrounded with unblocked windows sounds pretty cool

I have enough to qualify as one checked bag and one carry on. More or less. Mostly clothing. Looks like I'm heading for South Carolina this weekend.
I've really cut down on materialism, that's for damn sure.

Travel plans are fucked up because it turns out my ID is too old (still valid, just not new enough) and you need a home to get new one.
No bus station here so I need to get to Mobile Al tomorrow to catch a bus and good odds that plane ticket money is just gone

Just saw Primitive War. Solid 2/5 stars. Bad movie, but not terrible, and there were definitely memorable scenes, but the writing is terrible, the characters are generic, and the dialogue is cliched. The main characters have massive amounts of plot armor, often obtaining no injuries even after getting grabbed and bitten by dinosaurs, right up until they suddenly don't, at which point they die violently. Likewise, the dinosaurs alternate between completely invincible and going down in one-hit, sometimes in the same scene. The dinosaurs keep killing people and then not actually eating them, leaving the corpses completely intact and recognizable except for the wound that killed them, with all of three exceptions: when the Pteranodons kill some guys in a field, when a swarm of velociraptors start eating a guy who killed himself, and when the Tyrannosaurus Rexes start killing people, and the last one seems to be mostly because the Rexes are mostly killing people by biting them in half and swallowing. And there are a lot more scenes where dinosaurs kill people than the three scenes I mentioned.

If you're looking for something actually good, go see Superman or Fantastic Four. If you're looking for something decent with dinosaurs, go see Jurassic World: Rebirth. But if you're just looking to see a bunch of soldiers kill dinosaurs and get killed by dinosaurs and aren't really looking for anything compelling in regards to plot or characterization, Primitive War has that in spades.
 
So the Greyhound station in Mobile, Alabama is like something out of a movie. Dirty, cracked tile everywhere, empty pay phone kiosks, broken plugs, absolutely horrifying bathroom, and I've been waiting here since 1130am because that's the only time I could get a ride to Mobile and my bus doesn't leave until midnight!

Apparently the Greyhound station in Pensacola was so much worse that the city and county basically chased Greyhound out. Which immediately reduced crime statistics. People were apparently getting off of buses in Pensacola and going directly to carjacking to get a ride onward!

Four hours left. Kinda wish I'd had the coin to just rent a car and drive up there.

So I just noticed that the Waifu Loot website was changed to Waifu Prison, does anyone know why that happened?
 
VPNs are the best thing God gave us.

Or at least they're somewhere on the list, probably above sliced bread but below computers.
 
Been on the bus for awhile now. Didn't post because I was as asleep. That bus station was fucking exhausting.
The bus is almost as loud inside as a plane is, which is something most movies and television floss over

In Atlanta now. Bus station is shabby, but not dangerous. So that's nice.

Here til almost 11am for the transfer. Shit, that's practically no time at all compared to the 12+ hours I waited at Mobile.

New bus driver is hauling ass. He's already cut 20 minutes off the projected arrival time.

Pretty sure he's breaking laws here…
