Hey /o/ I can't be fucked going in to work so im going to ring up my boss and say my cars fucked and i cant come in til it's fixed, Hoping to get 2 days out of it.
Whats something that i can get away with saying. I'm thinking like i was driving to fast and hit a pot hole and cracked something in the engine bay. What could i say ?

Why the fuck would you tell them what happened
You say that driving was your means to work but your car broke down. You have no alternative transport

this; more details is more story you have to remember and fabricate later. keep it simple, stupid.

>mfw someone at work tried this
>'my car won't start'
>we work at an auto manufacturer
>as engineers

Then you also need to explain why the bus won't work. Or a friend or uber

Well the boss didn't buy it for starters, and we all laughed at him of course.
You'd be better off coughing down the phone pretending to be sick really.

We're adults, it doesn't matter how you get to work, all that matters is that you get to work. You will get every single day off if you try to get off work because of car trouble.

saying your car broke down is an excuse for coming to work late,
not an excuse for not going in at all. it won't work
Why a car issue? Car issues are almost always a bullshit excuse. Besides, my question would then be "why cant you find a ride to work?"
Why not just say that you are sick? If you have been throwing up because of a virus, you need 1 day to get over it, and another day for recovery.
If any of my full-timers tried this I'd go pick them up or make them burn vacation time. If a part timer tried it I would pick them up, write them up, and tell them to get to work tommorow or find another job. Tell me OP which one are you, because even money says your boss has the same expectations as me.
