Car problems

So I wake up its early monday morning (this week) I pull my car around from the parking garage to behind the building so I can pack my car. No problem it was closer! I put my car into reverse and it had started! The sick and sad puttering of the engine....

The car died. Right there in front of me my bruiser has always done so so well! I turn my key in hopes of a mis communication between my keys and my car, no such luck. Five to six times I try! Same thing it starts and fails with in 3 to 4 seconds...... I am fit to be tied! I am suppost to puck up shelby at the airport in 5 hours, and I still need to pack my car to go home!

Momma called a mechanic and was able to get him out and over to my house and get it looked at. I could not pack my car in case he had to put it up in jacks. So yea. He looks around it and does a few tests and then he looks inside the tank, since it starts but will not stay on. Has to be the gas right? Well as he pops open the tank he sees a pencil inside my gas tank!

So sure enough! Some one found my car, dumped something inside of it!!! The fuel was from this point further contaminated! Frustrated because I had to be up and out in LA to pick Shelby to help me move. He drained the tank and put new fuel in but there is a chance we still might have to change the fuel pump. We get it turned over about 15 times before it stayed on. It puttered on idle. But was not great! We left it idle for 10-15 min and drove it to a gas station and re fueled up and put gas treatment in the fuel as well.

The more I drove it the better it got. My end line is who would do that! They must be really big jerks to do something like that. Funny thing is jokes on them! It was an easy fix and I got it found before it caused a huge problem! That's right! I'm a rockstar and my car suffered minor. Damages......who ever dumped in my tank.....you fail!
