My car repair/Stevie afternoon
 

So, my AC's been blowing out of the top vents only, not the front. Keeps my windshield nice and cool, but doesn't do much for me. I also needed to get my idle adjusted cuz my car was dying every time I'd stop, and running the AC was only making it do that more often. Anyway, I contacted some of my local Mustang buddies and one of them said to meet me at his shop today at 4:30. Problem solved, vacuum tube had come loose on the engine side of the dash and just needed to be put back on....idle was adjusted....dude only charged me $20 for about 45 min. of his time. It's 101 today - AC is working great!! YAY!

So, I leave the service station and get on the highway. DJ comes on the radio and says, "Coming up after the break, a triple shot of Stevie Nicks!" YAY again! I was about 15 miles from home...they played EO17, Leather & Lace and SDMHA. Not what I would have picked for a rock block, but still, it was cool - LITERALLY! AC blasting in my face, Stevie blasting on the radio!! :wavey:

PERFECTION.....

You know I'm not one for superstitions but I have to say it seems like whenever something big happens or something like what u just experienced I get some "Stevie sign" , lol I know i know crazy :] . Once for instance when I quit my job ( a huge thing in my life) I get into the car all giddy scared and excited and guess who's on the radio....
When my daughter was born I mean the second she was born Sara comes on the radio that I had playing ( too calm me) I mean how often do u hear Sara played on the radio? NEVER....so naturally I named her Sara....Regardless of the song, I think Sara is a great name strong and sweet all together.
and then another time ....well I could go on and on. Very strange..my Stevie :angel: always watching

I know! It's the oddest thing, isn't it? Especially when you don't expect it!

When I moved into my house and was hauling the very last load of things from my apartment - I stood in my empty apt. with my friend Jimmy (the one friend I have w/ a pick-up truck - LOL). I took one last look around and just sort of soaked it all in. I'd lived in the same apt. for 11 years. While I was about to turn on the street my house is on, Rhiannon came on the radio. It was at that precise moment that it had finally hit me - that I was moving on to a new chapter of my life...I started bawling, like a weirdo! :lol: Cuz Stevie was "there" for me. :angel:

And I love your story about Sara! :thumbsup: It'd be neat to compile everyone's Stevie stories - not the, "I was grocery shopping and heard Tusk," ones, or what I started this thread with - but more of the major life-changing event stories...

I experience these kind of moments all the time. I don't know if it's just pure coincidence, but it makes me feel better to think it's not.
Whenever I go out of town, or am longing for home...an FM or Stevie song comes on the radio...totally unexpected (because I might not even be listening to a classic rock station!).
It's never anything big though-nothing like the stuff you guys posted, but it's the little things that matter to me.

:thumbsup: Thats what I'm talking about not just those major life changing moments ..but also the quite moments the ones that only U would get and then Stevie shows herself (major moments to u) :nod: Thats when it's really weird.

I think we should compile all the stories. What an awesome idea :thumbsup: I'm sure there are many many out there.

Waaah. I thought you were going to say you won me tix at the garage. :mad:
Yesterday they gave away tix at Sterling McCall Chevrolet. I didn't go. - Ever since being disappointed at the Copper Tank eight years ago, it's best for my blood pressure not to try these things in person. ;)

But congratulations about the repaired air. You guys were still in the 90s last night when I watched the news.

Was that The Dance viewing party? I was there!!!

(and I won a copy of the CD, but don't wanna rub it in...)

No AC in Texas is literally HELL ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad all is well - esp. in the Stang :woohoo:

Whoooooo baby whooooo I said YEAAAAAAAA

That's the one. I give Livia a hard time because she had the microphone. The guy asked the easiest questions and only called on women. I didn't even get a tee.
I remember Livia asked if anybody had visited the Nicksfix, and I was one of two people who raised their hands. :mad: Not fair. You hear that, Livia? :blob2:

Long story, but I went over two years without air in old my car in Austin & my first year in Houston. I'm not quite sure why I never bothered to get it fixed.

My freaky story is that I once saw a car explode into a big fire ball while I was listening to the song "Fire Burning". I thought it was pretty freaky. The second this car went up in flames my radio blasted with "Burning!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wow - I don't remember a Q&A contest - I thought it was more of a raffle/door-prize deal. But, then again, my memory of that evening is a little spotty. Let's just say the Copper Tank has *really* good beer. :laugh:

We were all probably sitting within 10 feet of one another. Weird.

OMG, you were there too? That's so cool!

Jake, it's not MY fault Bryan was only calling on girls. I got a free video and CD for helping him out w/ that event...but I still bought the cassette cuz I wanted it to count for FM's sales! :thumbsup:

My first car accident with me as the driver, my tape deck was playing Don't Stop. The other car didn't. :rolleyes:

- Jake

Of course it's your fault. :cool: I geyt the worst of both worlds. You assume all the FM/Stevie guy fans are gay, and then you get a DJ who gives the prizes to women. At least if one of the gay fans were giving the prizes, I might have a shot at being called on. :lol:
