Its coming but it probably wont be a hobo, it'll probably be a street-sweeper truck driver.
Basically, I was trying to move the cars in front of my parent's house. Theres 3 cars, one me and nowhere to put the goddamn things.
Anyways, ones a pickup truck with a performance motor/carb, so no choke, and it wont idle when its cold so I have to sit in it with my foot on the gas until it warms up. Needless to say I cant move the other 2 cars while doing this. So I decide to move it first in hopes that I can warm it up enough so that it idles and as soon as it idles I can leave it to warm up until its drivable while moving the other 2 cars.
In the meantime the street sweepers are right there, so I tell them, 'hang on a minute, I'm moving them." Sure, no problem, they waited all of 5 seconds. Great. Anyways, I eventually get this thing going, I move the other car and then my Mom's car is dead. Period, nothing. Wont crank, wont fire, just a dead key. Probably a battery, but the only set of cables is in my car which I dont have because its getting some work done and I borrowed a friend's car. Great.
Well the street sweeper driver tells me I've got to move it, as though I was sitting in it for kicks and I decided to see if I could fool him into thinking it was dead in my effort to preserve the crap underneath it indefinitely. I asked him if he had cables, of course not. So he says they're going to tow it. Since when do they tow cars that arent cleared? Dont they usually just drive around? Anyways, he was vehement, they were going to tow it, so I eventually just threw up my hands and said Tow it then, I dont care, it isnt going anywhere on its own right now. If you have to tow it, tow it!
Bah! Just a huge piss off.
