Keeping my head above water

Ok so I said earlier that things have been slammed at work right. Well yeah they keep staying that way. Also it seems I keep getting more responsibility. I often joke with lisa that I work hard to act irresponsible so that I wont get more responsibilities but it never seems to work. I always get more. Oh well at least im a valuable asset that is not easily replaced. ^_^

SO for anyone who has always wanted a car let me tell you something. CARS SUCK! they are all evil, except my wifes miata and all mini coopers. Thats right everything else from hummers to cadi's all pure evil. I hate cars and well I have not had the best of luck with cars in my life. lets take a look shall we

94 mitsubishi eclipse -- I loved this car but it hated me. Once a year it would go into the shop for a minimum of $1000 in repair work. Also it had a major oil leak that everytime I had fixed (2xs) created a new worse leak. I ended up selling it after the good folks at Brownies IT proved they could not fix my transmission only install parts backwards or the wrong ones altogether.

88 buick century -- I nick named this car "the buck" and it was totally ugly and trashed. It had a white paint job that was all flaky and stuff. But the car was free so that was cool. Well I put about 500 into it for tires and well like a month later BOOOM!!! the trans went. I was not going to spend 2 grand on a trans for an old car. SO we gave it to the local career center.

2001(2 cant remember) Hyundai Accent -- Ok this car had nothing wrong mechanically but I hated it. IT was the first time I had a car payment and well I thought the car was a piece of crap but I needed a car and it was new and cheap so there ya go. I think what I hated most about it was two things. 1. total lack of power, im so glad I got the 5 speed not the manual. 2. the tires were seriously like plastic. any water on the road at all and I was sliding. Also I could drift around corners at any speed! Ok that part was fun. Anyway sold the accent so lisa could get the miata.

95 Honda Civic -- this car was the bomb. I loved this car a lot. Well I had just put about 2 grand into it for new brakes, shocks, shock mounts, and a slew of other things when. sigh it got totalled. I miss you civic.

SO that brings us to the present.

95 VW cabrio -- Ok the convertible is sweet and the fact that I can seat 4 very comfortably is also cool but well i bought the car for 3500 and then a month later by by trans. $3700 later and im not so happy with this car. Now it seems like the alloy wheels are warped b/c I cant get them balanced so the car shakes like booty on a dance floor.

SO yeah im really not that big on cars. Fortunately lisa has had it good. Since we have been married she has had the civic and only had some minor battery problems for a while and now has the miata. Two wonderfull cars that have done a very nice job of escorting her and her assests (^_^) wherever she needs to go and in pretty good style as well.

Well I did not inted to rant about cars but hey thats what you got. Hopefully I can get something worked out with the vw and smooth out the ride some. Then it will be NEON time!!!! j/k

Cheers!
