The Audi Was Sold!

I sold the Audi.  I bought the Audi in 2013.  On July 15, 2021 I sold the Audi. 

2005 A4 Audi

What happened, was that I was driving the Rodeo pictured below.

    I went to Braums to get some food.  While I was on the way, the Odometer started flashing, and the radio kept going in and out.  I thought nothing of it.  The Rodeo sounded normal.  So, I kept driving.  Made it to Braums, and ordered my meal in the drive-thru.  I went to pull out.  I made it into the center lane, to go left.  All of a sudden I got the feeling the Rodeo was going to die.  Which it did as soon as the light turned.  However I made it into the right lane.  I put on the flashers.  Kept trying to start the Rodeo.  It was deadlocked.  It would not start for anything.  

    I noticed that the Rodeo kept trying to roll back.  I tried not to panic.  Instead, I waited for the traffic to pass, which it did without hitting me.  Then, I let the Rodeo roll backward as far as it would go.  Which it almost made it all the way into the parking lot at Braums.  But not quite.  It was still almost sticking out into traffic.  I went ahead and started drinking my milkshake, because I didn't know what else to do.  

The 2002 Rodeo 

    Since I did not know what to do.  I tried to contact my Dad but he was at the farm.  So, he couldn't jump the Rodeo off.  Which is what I thought the Rodeo needed.  I then looked up a towing company.  I realized it might need to have the Rodeo towed.  Still sipping on my milkshake, I called the tow company, CARS C TOWING ((817)239-1505).  After securing a tow, another person driving  Cadillac offered to help me.  He suggested that the alternator in the Rodeo might have gone out, after I told him about the Odometer flashing.  He hooked a cable to the back of the Rodeo, and connected it to his vehicle.  Then, began pulling the Rodeo toward a parking spot in Braums parking lot.  The cable came lose.  So, instead of pulling the Rodeo he went and used his bumper to push the Rodeo into the parking spot.  

    I was so glad to have moved the Rodeo out of the street and the turn-in to Braums.  But the guy who pushed the Rodeo into the spot, took off without another word.  So, I never got his name.  I wish i had been able to say "Thank you".  Once the Rodeo was out of the street I felt better about the situation.  I went to eat inside now, instead of taking my food home.  I finished my food, and my milkshake.  The tow person called and explained that something had happened to his truck.  That he might have to call someone else for me.  

The tow truck finally arrived.  He wanted me to put the Rodeo into neutral which I did.  Then, after setting up the Rodeo to be towed, the tow-person offered me a ride.  The tow was going to be $80 dollars.  So, I was glad for the lift.  I thought nothing of it.  

Then, when we pulled into the house the tow person noticed the A4 Audi stting there and he asked, "How much do you want for that"?  $500 I said.  Then, he asked whether I had the title.  I said I did but it was inside.  

The tow person began inspecting the Audi A4.  I went and searched frantically for the document.  But couldn't find it.  I told the tow-person I would need to wait till my Dad got home.  So, he offered $400 in cash to see how low I would go.  I went ahead and accepted the offer.  I enjoyed driving the Audi but now it is to expensive for me to drive.  After that the tow-person left.

Scott and Steve came over that evening.  That was partly why I was worried when the Rodeo broke down.  Scott had said he wanted to come over earlier.  But Scott took a while coming over so, I had this whole adventure, which resulted in the Audi being sold.  But Scott didn't know.  It was time for the Audi to go.  While Scott and Steve were over, we mostly played computer games.  We ate pop-tarts and drank coffee.  The day ended up being about cars because Scott and Steve drove there Dad's Rav4 over for me to look at.  Scott and Steve brought my Dad a keycover for the key for his Camry.

Scott and Steve's Rav4

After my adventure with the Rodeo dying, and being towed, and selling the Audi I was pretty worn out.  But I still had fun looking at the Rav4.  I was so glad Scott and Steve came over and got to be in the adventure.

The next day, the tow person came and bought the Audi.  I was relieved as the A4 left the drive-way.  That car did me well.  I drove it to and from San Diego to Arlington twice in it.  I also drove to school for years in it.  Most people think I could have done better with a Honda.  I agree, but then, I had this big adventure which resulted in the Audi being sold.    Now though I have to go fill out a From VTR-346 for a liability waiver.

It took me about 30 minutes to write this all up.  I work today, on Thursday, 15, July 2021, as a Courtesy Clerk.  Today is pay day.  I hope I got paid.  The day the Audi was sold: Wednesday, 14, July 2021.  Now, thanks to the tow-person there is one less car in the drive way.
