A few months ago I was in another state bringing my sister to work. We were driving on the highway and just took our exit when my car door flew open. After a bit of laughing (it was really funny at first) we realized the door didn’t shut anymore. Luckily we were close to my sister’s work so I stopped to see what was wrong.

The lock was broken on the driver side so I had to wait a few hours for someone to come down (thanks dad!) to pull the door shut with ropes so I could at least drive home. It got fixed the same night so I thought all was well.

Until a few weeks ago, when I had to be towed home from work due to a broken battery. That got fixed a day or so later so I figured I had my share of car trouble for this century.

But of course I was wrong. Yesterday I dropped my mum off at a friend’s house when I tried to lock the passenger door. You guessed it… it wouldn’t work! It wouldn’t shut anymore either! After a little bit of pulling and pushing, I suddenly had the lock in my hand. OOPS

After trying to tie up the door with some rope, which wouldn’t work too well. I got fed up with it and gave the door a really hard push on the outside, which was followed by a loud clicking noise, but the door seemed shut. Just when I thought I broke it even more, I decided to try and see if I could put the safety lock down to stop it from opening. Lo and behold, it worked. I was able to drive home and to work that afternoon, but didn’t dare touch the door.

I called the garage earlier and explained the problem. Hopefully it can be fixed today, the garage owner was going to see if he could look at it today. It’s not a problem that needs to be fixed today. The door is locked, it’s also secured with some ropes so I can drive around.

Let’s just hope this is really the end of my car troubles. Three times in less than 6 months is more than enough.
