I think I messed up my Karma....

So last weds I got the first flat tire on a vehicle I'm driving since I was 16. I'll be 39 in 2 weeks. No biggie. Saturday morning I head out to the garage to work my 6th day of the week... another flat tire. Crap. Bring the tire in Monday, no one gets to it. Tuesday it gets fixed. Put it on last night as soon as I got home because cold. Head out this morning, hop in the car and turn the key....Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. berkeley. Pull out the multimeter and it's showing a whole .552 volts. yep.

Tires on the truck have turned into stone. They're 6 years old. Rio needed an alignment and ate two tires and then she destroyed a 3rd 2 weeks ago driving it flat. 2 flats on the Forte. Dead battery. Geesh.... this is NOT my week.

Oh, and that junk pile of crap was 1 month shy of 5 years old. Car was built in december of 2009 and the batter was the original that made the trek from Korea.

Pop-culture Karma (as seen on My Name is Earl) is definitely not real IMO and could theoretically be scientifically disproven.

The actual religious concept of Karma isn't supposed to pay off until the next life (so it's untestable).

So don't worry about your karma

So this isn't about you wrecking a Fisker?

^I thought the same thing at first.

Wait.... what would I do with a Fisker?

I have two Kias and neither was shipped from Korea with any batter. I am jealous.

It was tasty batter too. My fave... yellow cake.

I was afraid you'd hit a dogma.

My Karma ran over my Dogma many years ago and life has been berkeleyed ever since.

I think I may have fed my Karma to my Dogma(s).

I misspelled some word that I was typing into my iPhone (can't remember what it was) and autocorrect changed it to "yellowcake". How the berkeley does that happen? How many people are typing "yellowcake" into their phone? You'd think that "yellowcake" would be automatically changed to something else.

In reply to Woody:

Seriously! I'd think that would be a dangerous word to type nowadays!

WEll, found out why the 5 year old battery died. Wife was (trying) to clean the interior while I worked last saturday. Looks like she hit one of the map lights. Give it 4 days, 3 below freezing and it killed it. Og... and the dash looks like crap. At least she vacuumed it out... mostly.

IIRC, "yellowcake" is actually a flag word in the NSA's web surveillance program.

Hi NSA guys! Is this really the best line of work for you?

shoulda gone w/ vanilla there, jus sayin'

In reply to Bobzilla: At least you're not having to live through a bad early witner like I am.

And we all need more batter from time to time. Personally I prefer cornbread batter. I don't think it's on the NSA list yet.

We've already had single digit temps and snow on the ground as I type from days ago. I'd say that qualifies us for a bad early winter. Granted, not Buffalo-grade, but who the hell's dumb enough to live in Buffalo to start with?

Is that treatable?

In reply to bravenrace: Apparently not. I've fought it most of my adult life.

Our tires and batteries seem to come in clusters. We have to replace the tires on all cars within a few months. Next time, its the batteries in all the cars.
