well, i probably won't be able to make it on sunday. to be honest, i don't think i even have a chance of going there cause my car sucks ass and decided to mess up tonight, or well this morning.

cliffnotes,....car idling bad and rpms shoots up, won't race at nationals

[rant] well, today i got my car back from ttp. it wasn't completely done, but needed it to go to long island. only thing that needed to be ironed out was the tuning, however, it was good enough to drive and somewhat push it (no wot runs of course).
anyway, i get to this spot and hang out for about an hour and a half. BSing and such. After the stay, i decided venture back home. this is where everything goes downhill. i drive home rather quickly. not going past 4k (i wanted to hear the turbo spool). when i hit that high of an rpm, i would quickly let off the gas. Did it a couple of times. When i was almost to the queens midtown tunnel, i pushed it again. Like i said nothing over 4k. than my heart sank. I hear a pop and as soon as i heard it, i let off the gas. so it was "pop" than "sound of the BOV. I was like WTF. anyway, i started to let the car coast. there was no where to park cause the tunnel was right there. So i decided to go through it and try to park somewhere. As I was going through the tunnel, the rpms would raise to 2k and then drop. When i push the gas to go, the car would bog down like crazy. I coasted through the tunnel and when I got out of it, things went from bad to worse. As i was sitting at the light, I would see my rpms go to 2k and than drop, than suddenly, it went to 2k, than 3k, than 4k. stupid car kept reving. so i shut it off.
So now i'm in the middle of New York with a busted car. Tried to let car cool down and try again. Same result. So i can AAA, took them over 3 hours to get a tow truck to where I'm at. It's now 5 in the morning and I just got home. Should have been home over 4 hours ago. what;s worse is the fact that my car probably won't be ready for tomorrow, something I was looking foward to for such a long time. [end rant]
