Best car excuses thread

Have you ever used your car as an excuse to get out of social obligations?

What was your best excuse?
Bonus points if it was a real reason.

I was stuck in traffic once, which made me late for work. That's it.

>have a test in the morning
>car overheating in traffic
>email prof a pic of the temperature gauge saying I'm going to be late
>finally get to class half an hour late to find she moved the test to tomorrow
Subtle favouritism

I once said my car broke down when it didn't because I was last for work after stopping to chat with a girl I was trying to bone.

This thread doesn't have much potential does it?

I'm changing out my blown apex seals

Told my boss I couldn't work on a Saturday as I was replacing headlight fluid.
It worked.

Oh man, I should try that.

>Leave my house for class
>Final in 30 mins
>One block later car looses power
>Stalls and dies
>Turns over but dies a few seconds after
>Eventually car won't even start
>FUCK FUCK FUCK
>email professor my car broke down and I won't be able to make it
>Call up my uncle who was the only one in my house
>He checks the battery connections, n nothing wrong
>He turns it on himself
>Car started just fine
>Keeps running
>Drive to school with anxiety
>Miss final
>Professor was cool and let me retake it in his office
>Week later i took it to a shop
>Needed new spark plugs and wires

Boss: Why are you late?
Me: Car wouldn't start this morning.
Boss: Why not?
Me: Because I was asleep.

>call into work
>"Can't make it in today."
>"Why not?"
>"Snowplow plowed my car in, it's going to take hours to shovel out."

I also had to call into work once due to transmission failure. Boss didn't believe me, so I had to send him a picture of the diff spider gear that blew out the side of the case.

I was late to work one day and just said "I had rotor problems" and they went with it.

HOLY SHIT, AWESOME OPPORTUNITY

I got to skip class once because my upper radiator hose burst open and puked out all my antifreeze while I was driving.

>comes into work late
>Boss:Why are you late?
>Me:Did you know you can start your truck with a pair of pliers when the relay stops working?
>Boss:"...You need to get rid of that thing"

>Boss: "goodbye Felicia"

>late on my way to picking up gf
>send her a video of the radiator broken and going to shit
>I actually only poured a bit of water near the cap.

Fag, I'm happy for you though. You gay guys seen way more happier not dealing with women.

It's great. I don't have to deal with all the emotional bullshit women give you. Men are more logical. Yeah, I deal with a bunch of anti gay comments and stuff, but I'm not offended; I can handle the bantz unlike most of the other faggots. Regardless it's still better than being financially and emotionally to a filthy whore. Women suck, and they have no value other than being a convenient dick holder with a body attached.

I just bought an FC and I love the smell of the exhaust. I use 2 stroke and if I put too much it smells like muffins. I fucking love this car, don't even care about filling up every other day

Faggot

nigga they're school dance tickets

how you gonna put like $30 to a new car?

It adds up.

I'm a Jew, I save up and eventually was able to rage my dream.

this is why most gay want fem boys it's basically a woman without breasts the tradeoff being no emotional rollercoaster

say whatever you want about being whipped and losing all your money but the biggest problem with this is men who get roped into fatherhood because they can't say no and then you have children whose father hates them from before birth.

>Veeky Forums - miatafagging because women

Yes. I told my mom I couldn't make Easter dinner because my car was too fast and too awesome.

I know he claimed Jewishness, but my exes' high school was nuts.
>Homecoming tickets $40 per person
>Winter formal $50 per person
