Kind of a multi faceted decision I made soooo...
Besides getting all the cancels.... on the way over to Des Moines the front end of my car felt a little funny- loose is no bueno generally so figured i should probably get it looked at before going anywhere too far at high speeds, especially after I curb checked like 6 times downtown (watch out woman driver ppl). My verdict? Every single one of my tie rods had to be replaced, also wheel bearings, control arms aghhhh - oh and something rack and pinion- so no Omaha, no home either just been hanging in Des Moines. Had I not had the car issues I'm sure I would have considered an ad here once I received the cancels from P411. But with a fully booked tour plus a waiting list there wasn't really a need for an ECCIE ad as I generally try to advertise as little as I need to -why call unnecessary attention to myself or have people inquiring when I gotta say no? I didn't even post one for Des Moines after I got stuck here 3 extra days crying about all the cash I just dumped in to the piece of shit- I never have a 'quota' i expect to meet- if i dont have appointments I go do things- im easily amused. Greedy is not in my vocabulary unless we're talking sour gummy worms. I'm pretty low volume by choice, especially for a touring lady- no one gets me less than fully primed and ready to rock your world. I'm a perfectionist and a people pleaser by nature and I HATE having to cancel things and disappoint people- and having to change everything I worked hours on while sacrificing time w my family the weeks before sucked a bit too but I roll with the punches. I was sent a link to this by several actually so figured an explanation was better than everyone speculating and making assumptions about the type of person I am or am not (read my "fortune pussy" review or watch my twitter vid of me tearing it up in a power wheels in a dragon onesie-I'm actually kinda comedy) Sometime I will get to Omaha- probably even in the next 4-8 weeks- I just think it may be wise to get a car that i havent been beating to hell for a year or wait until skirt weather so I can improve my chances of getting someone to stop if I gotta ditch Bessie the Beater and hitchhike. Hopefully I will get to meet some of you- if not I'm sure there's a dive bar playing horrible karaoke music with my name on it
And now it's time to find coffee, hold my eyelids open with toothpicks, and pray this damn car doesn't fall apart before I get home to CR- happy weekend!
