Ok. It is never a good thing when you go to pick up your vehicle from inspection and the first thing out of your mechanic's mouth is, 'start looking for a new car'.
My poor little Aqua Mouse. So what if chunks of car fall off every time I touch it. So what if my battery is strapped on with a bungee cord. So what if I am missing hubcaps (and no
(e:Jason), it is not the result of the Liverpool team!). So what if I have no shocks and every little bump feels like a pothole.
I have a sunroof and a cd player, who could ask for anything more? Oh right, a car that runs. Yah, so I mentioned it to my mom, only because I thought it was one of the funniest greetings I have ever gotten at the shop. She immediately offers for me to buy her car. I wonder why? I know she does not drive it much, but still. Can I get rid of Aqua Mouse for a Buick Regal?
It is not as if I can afford to buy a car, but at least my mom would take payments over time. It would cost more in gas, it would cost more in insurance, I would have to put in a stereo because her's is broken and I cannot live without it. It has power windows, locks, and a big trunk for stowing dead bodies. Hmmm...perhaps there are some benefits to this exchange after all.
No really. I knew I would need a new car, but I do have sentiment for the mouse. Wonder Woman had her invisible jet, Lady Croft has Aqua Mouse; I do not know if the Buick can achieve superhero status. Will it make me feel old? I cannot parallel park as it is, and this thing is much bigger than the mouse! Then I need to remember how much money I have sunk into Aqua Mouse over the past 2 years. It would probably be a financial gain to buy the Buick. Sigh....(Napoleon Dynamite style)
But one last reminder from your friendly neighborhood Spiderman:
tonight, 8pm. BE THERE!
Nice shoes! and I like your new hair color!
I must say, I have never seen so many pictures of myself! Maybe I'll have to start sending them to my mom or something...
And that reminds me, I'll see if I can post my pix of the coffee cup mountain.
