The Broken Down Car
By: Aiden Kuno
Jimmy is sleeping. He wakes up to his REALLY annoying alarm clock at the end of his
bed. He hears it and clicks the snooze button with his toe. He figured that he could get about
a half an hour more of sleep time. He heard it again about 2 minutes later. He clicked the
snooze button with his toe again and tried to get some more sleep time and again 2 minutes
later the alarm went off louder and longer.
He finally got really mad and kicked the alarm clock off the end of his
bed with his foot then he said “OW!” . It the wall and made a CLUNK!
BANG! CRASH! BOOM! It bounced off the wall, and went out the
window. He got out of bed finally as mad as a wet hen.
Jimmy is gonna be driving his blue and yellow super stock to the Indianapolis
race track. He is half way there, and he sees tornado like clouds rolling in. He stops
and pulls over, and he looks at the weather radar on his iphone X. Now he is
thinking if I go home then I can’t make a living and get money. But if I go to the
Indianapolis race track I will make a living. So he said, “I’ll just go and see what it is
like.”
It is 6:05 AM and Jimmy was driving down the highway. He heard a
CLUNK! CLUNK! CLUNK! Noise. He got out of the car and opened
the hood and it was smoking.
He asked himself, “Is it on fire!?” He got the fire extinguisher and
started spraying it all over the engine, and he saw there was no fire.
He tried to start it, and it did but he tried to shift into 1st, and it didn’t
go into 1st. So he called his dad, and he asked his dad what happens
when your transmission blows up.
He said, “you should know what to do because you fix
your own super stock!
He looks up a new transmission on ebay and finds the best one.
The price is $5,000, but he doesn’t know that because he never
looks at the price of stuff.
It is now 6:30 and the sun is just coming up over the horizon.He starts it
up again and drives off and later at 6:45 he was driving, and he heard
that noise and this time it went like CLUNK! KABOOM!
“Oh no! I hope that wasn’t bad,” he thought.
He called his boss and told him he couldn’t make it to work to day
because there was a tornado cloud right by the track. His boss said
“GET TO WORK!”
Then Jimmy says that his car is making funny noises, so don’t be
surprised if I don’t make it today.
He looked at the clouds and saw that the tornado clouds were closer. So
he got in his super stock and did a burnout because he was mad. He did
a burnout. He was driving down the road and his dash board lit up like a
christmas tree. The check engine light was on, the oil light was on, the
low fuel light was on, and the check tire pressure light was on!
Then he heard all sorts of noises, so he got out and he saw that his
tire was flat, there is little to no oil and 93 octane gas, and the
transmission is almost blown. The axle broke and he said, “HOW IN
THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?!”. He thought about this for a little
bit, and he said “Ohhhhhhhh. I did a burnout, and I hit 2 different
kinds of tar”.
It is now 7:15 A.M. , and he finally got it to run with a blown up transmission and a
snapped in half rear axle. He is driving down the interstate going 85mph in his
clapped out super stock and he heard a KABOOM! Noise! He heard a scraping
noise. He wondered what that was now. So he pulled over and looked around the
car. Then there it was that KABOOM! Noise! again. It was the tire exploding off of
the rim on his right rear tire and the scraping noise was the rim scraping when he
was driving. He finally called a towtruck, and the towtruck came at about 8:00A.M
The tow guy said, “When you hear something go wrong with your car or see
something wrong with your car, call a towtruck before everything breaks.
Now the bill for everything getting fixed is going to cost an arm
and a leg.”
Jimmy said, “I might as well just ride my bike to work”
