may break my bones, but i'm going to kick you repeatedly

when life gives you lemons

say "screw the lemons" and bail!

saga of the crapmobile

this is my dad's car, or as i have affectionately referred to it, the crapmobile. it has been a month since i lost the blue and the insurance company has yet to un-ass my money, so I'm still driving the crapmobile. now, don't get me wrong, it's a good little car, it's just not conducive to my lifestyle. i'm 6'2" and 230lbs and i don't really fit in there, the tolerances are so close that i can't have a cup in the cup holder. everyone i work with very much enjoys watching me get in and out. i actually have to get in twice, i have to sit, and then get in. people who see me driving it think it's the most pathetic thing they have ever seen. i have been trying to fix a few things that are wrong with it while i have it (it has over 200,000 miles on it) i figured it's the least i can do. so far i've broke a $200 dollar part while trying to fix something else ($15 at the junk yard). while i'm very grateful to have it, it's driving me crazy. i have a few vehicles in mind that i want to get after my insurance pays out (getting the wagon fixed is priority #1) but until that time me and the crapmobile are getting to know each other quite well.

when life gives you lemons

shut up and eat your damn lemons!

isn't it amazing

how something as simple as a phone call can ruin your day!?

what i learned today

today i learned that when people tell me what kind of car i should get to replace the one i wrecked, it pisses me off!

the blue went down

after almost 8 years and over 120,000 miles i had to let her go. at approximately 1430 hrs on the 5th of may in the year of our lord 2009 she was pronounced a total loss. we had a good run, out of all the women in my life she was one of the ones who stuck around. we had alot of fun times, took out some pretty girls, and did afew things we probably shouldn't have. she was a good car and in the end she did her job and protected me and my brother. i believe that had we been in a lesser car we might not have walked away. i'm gunna miss you, you're my girl Blue!
