Will someone please buy me a new car?

*sigh* and in this weeks drama we have the award for ‘worst supporting vehicle’…

The joys of being broke are never ending when it comes to vehicles. I think I may have mentioned that I have an electrical problem in my car that I have been chasing for like the last 5 years or so. This week the gremlins have decided that they are going to make my headlights randomly turn off and on. Now this would not be a big problem if 1. I worked a normal shift and

2. I had the $ to replace all the wiring and electrical pieces in the car and

3. The money to even attempt to make one repair.

4. We were not in the middle of a freakin blizzard!

5. My windshield wipers worked!

The blizzard is fun. 4-8" of snow, and oh yeah, it started as rain so that means under the snow there is a sheet of ice. Since I don’t get off work til Midnight, that means there will be LOTS of police out, and I have an hour drive in dry conditions, let alone snow, so think of all the opportunities to pass nice policemen that is! (and policewomen)

So, we have me taking a long trip, in dangerous conditions and my headlights randomly shut off, and my windshield wipers do not work….does anyone want to take out a life insurance policy on me? LOL

How bout just buy me a new car?

Ok, I’ll settle for pay to repair the one I have???

Hmm, no takers huh?

Will you at least write me in jail or visit me in the hospital?

You know girl .. with the money you used to make at the flower place I would have thought you would be driving a BMW. But then again … if you are at all like my sister, then I understand why. This is why I will never go out with a high maintenance woman. I am more likely to like the I can be ready in 15 min kinda woman.
