....when you finally get your turbo kit, finally install it, and then your parents have people come to put an addition on the house/garage.

I woke up this morning do to loud noise. I look outside the window and there is a god d*** trench in front of my garage and I can't move my car out for 3 months. All i needed was one more day. The car would have been out last night, but my fuel pump decided not operate.

So know I'm stuck with no car and the anxiety of not being able to drive my new aquisition is going to kill me.

^^^I might try it when the constructors leave but the trench is a square shape and from the looks of it there wont be enough room to turn my car in the ground inside the trench. My driveway makes a turn to get to the road and I don't think I'll be able to make that turn.

not to kick you when your down or anything, but this post needs to be accompanied by pictures, and perhaps a future "motivational poster" so we can all get a good chuckle out of it. you could even show it to your parents after someone makes a good one to make them feel bad.

just how big is the trench?

I cant take pics because the camera is at my dad's work and I dont have a car to get there and he just went to the hospital this morning for minor heart surgery. I dont have a camera phone either.

Judging by eye I'd say that the solid ground inside of trench is 12-16ft square and the trench itself is about 2-3 ft wide the whole way around. Plus there is big piles of dirt all around the trench. In other words, I'm screwed.
