Ok this might be a long thread LOL.
Now this happened on the 17th Of April last month. A friend and I with his friend ,that make three of us. (there not CDers just good people) Ming wanted to go see the new Canada Place centre and look around. It was Saturday and I picked Ming up at his place and we were going to meet Dave there. My 80 Corvette only has two seats so he had to meet us there. I was dressed as Christina of course. Ming had seen my dressed only once before 2 weeks before. But Dave had not. We parked just out side of the new center and went to the front door to wait for Dave. It was the opening weekend for it so there was Hundreds of people or maybe thousands of them.
So when he arrived we went in. We looked all around went up and look it was huge , Lots of neat rooms . Well after we went as high as we could go I need to stop in the ladies room for a pee and to check my makeup. All the walking in 3and a half inch heals was a lot of work.
We then went to see the ground floor area where the bring in the big truck or big boats you know e.t.c. Well when we got to the fire and police trucks, I saw a Asian couple taking a pic . The girl friend or wife was sitting on the paddy wagon , well it was the swat truck. I told him see should pose like see is getting patted down.LOL. would have been a good pic , but Instead she asked me if she could get a pic of the two of us............. Well I guess you could say I was speechless. YA THAT RIGHT, ME ... SPEACHLESS!!!!!!! Well it took a few seconds to find my voice then I said sure. We posed and her boy friend took the pic, I felt like a movie star. After we were done the walked away looking at the camera and talking very excitedly. I walked around the truck where Ming was and told him , he said "ya I say" and we both laughed. We found Dave and told him he missed it. Oh well.
Then we decided to go out side to look for a place to get lunch. We walked down the sea wall and saw a restaurant , It looked nice but there was a 30 to 40 min wait. We were thinking of a good place to eat when I thought of the Cactus club , I have never been the one and thought it would be good place. Well we walk to the street that we parked and ......Sh*t where is my car. We looked up the street and could not see it. Ming said it was near this cross street . I had a brain fart and did not make note of where I had parked. I thought maybe We parked on the next street up so we walked up there.
Now my car has a color changing paint It will be green , Blue Brown, sometimes even Pink. Or maybe its that dam fog coming over me. anyway.
We looked up and down the street and could not see it. The car is low and I do have a hard time seeing it in a parking lot. Hell I cant even see it from behind a Mini Cooper to give you an idea of how low it is. Well.Ming was sure we parked near a half wall and it's near there. We walked by the wall he thought it was at but, no car.
Now I am starting to panic hard. I was trying to say calm cuz a lady does not freak out like I wanted to. I told them to split up and look and call the others (if) the find it.
Well I think I walked about 3 to 5 Km before I had to stop. I wanted to cry freak out yell scream e.t.c. My feet were killing me . I took of my boot and found that the sole liner had come lose and bunched up under the ball of my foot and I had got a blister the size of a flat golf ball. I riped out the liner and out my boot back on and looked at my other foot and found another one about half as small.
I put the boot back on almost cried again and walked some more. I was not crying for my feet, Sure they hurt a little but it was of course for my stolen car. Now I was next to a small park and knew we did not park near there. Walking head held down ,I had to except that my best car I ever had was gone. I knew it had not been towed cuz We still had an hour and a half in the meeter. I saw the place where we meet Dave and thought I now have gone back to the start of the search.
Feeling like I want to just lie down and cry, I looked up the street.........I thought I saw a low green car, I had a few false hopes , but this was not the same. I saw a half wall near the car. I was still to far and need to get passed the light to see better. The light changed and I almost sprinted to .....Yes MY CAR :cheer::jumping::lol2::rofl:
I found the car and it was about 30 feet from where we went in and then came out . When we went to the restaurant we walk down the sea wall about 2 block and there for we started looking for the car 2 blocks away.Dumb I know, and the really dumb thing is I have a GPS that when I park somewhere I don't go to often I take it out of the car and make where I am and save the place I am so I can find it with the GPS. I did not do that this time cuz I thought Ming would remember to. Well the half wall( witch a smug Ming said he saw) was in the middle of the road and not on the pass side in witch we both thought it was, and when we walked by it that time we were on the other side of it and could not see the car.
Need less to say that I was ecstatic to have my car back safe and sound. So while I was :heehee:ing We drive to the restaurant and had a good lunch. The food was very good or maybe it was so good cuz I was feeling so much better and on :c9: that dog do would have tasted good. LOL. After out nice lunch we all parted ways , I drove Ming home ,and I went home to nurse my blistered feet.
All and all it was a .......... day I will never forget.
I guess the moral of the story is to not lose your car , make sure you either make a note on where you park or take a pic of where you parked. I do that to when parked underground. and what stair case I use and what store It's near. Well that's all , I hope you never have to go through something like that. At least my car was not stolen. I always try to look at the bright side of life ..........
Hay a great time and If we don't go out of doors dressed then who will.
