some of you remember my haunted Graceland puzzle...well the saga continues. I swear to God what i'm about to tell you is 100% percent truth whether or not it seems real.
So after attempting to sell my haunted puzzle on Ebay, (winning bidder woulda had to pay $25 for shipping so i told him not to pay me and he told me to keep the puzzle) more bad luck. We were on our way to Texas in my wife's car and we stopped in Memphis, which is about halfway between Houston and my town. We stopped and checked in the hotel then proceeded to Corky's BBQ for dinner. Well, my kids decided they wanted to see Graceland so i took them to see it. Well, just as we were approaching Graceland on Elvis Presley Boulevard, the car just would not go when i pressed on the gas. I pulled into this Chinese resteraunt and the car died right there. SO my wife and kids are flipping out, crying and shit, so i walked about 50 myards down the road to Advance Auto parts to use a phone book. Its Saturday night around 6:00 pm and i have no idea what to do, so i call a cab to take my family back to the hotel and then call a tow truck to take me and the car back to the hotel until Monday morning when i can take it to the local chrysler dealer since we have a bumper to bumper warranty.
So while waiting for the tow truck, i do some basic trouble shooting...check gas gauge, got 1/3 tank, listen for fuel pump, check battery 14.4 volts, blah blah blah. So at this point i think maybe i got a plugged fuel filter or something. Tow truck comes and loads the car on a rollback, reaches under the car and pounds on the gas tank...hollow as hell sound. So we go to the gas station and put about 15 bucks in it...still not starting. So he hauls me back to the hotel, lowers the roll-back getgs in the car...bam starts right up. I pay him the $75 for the tow, drive it around the parking lot for about 10 minutes...no issues. Go up to my hotel room and right on the desk there is a Memphis city guide and right on the front is Elvis and it says
"The ghost of Elvis roams the streets"
So elvis is still having fun with me....son of a *****
