Car in the shop, played the car-swap game

Yesterday, I played the car-swap game.

 

It's not my car that's having mechanical failure, it's my GF's.

 

So, I got off work at 4PM. Had to drive into Seattle to pick up the GF at 5PM. There was a Seahawk's game, so traffic by 4 was a pain.

 

My co-worker Will left his car lights on, so I had jumper cables and helped him out. Couldn't get his car started.

 

At around 4:15, he said "Go but can I borrow your cables?"

 

Took the long way (but most likely to move) around the North end of Lake Washington.

 

Got to the GF's office at around 5:20PM.

 

Drove back around the North end of the lake. Along the way, a car spun out of control in front of us on I-5, nearly causing a 5-car collision (including us).

 

Met my GF's mom at her mechanic where she was picking up her other car (a Jetta) around 6:30PM and we all went to dinner (each driving a car to the restaurant).

 

Dinner went OK, nothing exciting - OK mexican food.

 

Got home at 8:15PM and switched the cars around. Took out the trash (today is pickup day), and drove off to the mechanics. I followed in my car.

 

Dropped off the car at the mechanics and drove home. Arrived home at around 9:20ish PM.

 

So, since 4PM, I have been driving around the Seattle area (with a break for dinner).

 

Very exciting end-of-day.
