  • I'm starting to think I might need to consider getting a new car within the next year or so. Its nothing major, just a bunch of little things that have been going over the past few years. It started when the light that shows what gear I'm in went out. I should clarify that it is an automatic, but I don't know what else to call the thing that I use to go from park to drive. Anywho, after that light my odometer was next to go. Its not totally gone, but it flickers on and off and only works when it wants to. Last winter is was the volume button on the radio, it got really cold one morning and I turned the radio up and it cracked and broke off. I can still adjust the volume though, its just not as convenient. Now the past month or so, we are back to the gear shifter. Or to be more precise, the cover of the gear shifter, as its not the actual metal shift thing that is breaking but instead the thing at the top with the button. Of course, I have no idea how to fix this. A guy at work was describing to me what I need to do and to be honest, it sounds kinda easy.

    And then last night I needed to get gas. And with the declining value of my car and the rising cost of gas (ok, I know it has been going down the past couple of months, but work with me here people) it might be cheaper to buy a new car rather than fill up the tank. I really need to clean it too, there are a lot of papers and shit all over the floor. That makes it sound bad, its just a bunch of directions that I have printed out that are in the car. See, this is what I do to clean it. I go out, I unroll all the windows............or maybe I should say both windows, since it is a 2 door. Anywho, I unroll the windows, then I drive out onto the expressway and speed up to about 80 miles an hour and all the papers go flying out the window. Its the easiest and laziest way to clean the car!

    Just kidding people, I don't do that. Honestly, littering is one of my pet peeves, especially if said litter comes from a vehicle.
