Whatever...
Just a possession however school started yesterday and I am in need of a car...
Found one on craigslist for $1200.00...
An older Kia with a bazillion miles on it but I just need something to get from point A to point B...
Set up an appointment and secured the cash from a family friend...
Went today to check it out...
I went with no expectations and that is what I got...
Had a friend who is a mechanic meet me so he could look it over and make sure I wasn't being suckered...
The pictures posted on craigslist didn't do the car justice...
In the pictures, the car looks almost pristine - no visible dents, no peeling paint etc...
In person it looks like it has been used as a test car in those commercials you see with the dummies in the car...
The paint is flying off if the wind blows hard...
Both sides of the car are dented beyond explanation, there is no radio (just a hole and wires where the stereo used to be), (that means no music for me and you know how I feel about that) one of the tires is as bald as an eagle (the other 3 look new), there are 2 cracks in the windshield from the top all the way to the bottom, the right side spray thingy (that shoots windshield fluid out) is missing...
The interior seats are just gross...
I am talking ICK and I wouldn't want to shine a blacklight in there for fear of what may be hiding...
So my mechanic friend said no more then $600.00 (and he would fix the major issues with it)...
Deal says the guy (well $650.00 was the deal) and signed the title over to me...
Friend says to drive it back carefully to his shop and he would get started on it...
So I am now the proud owner of a S**t Box (as my friend described it to a guy at his shop)...
As I drove back carefully, I went to roll the window down (ac works great - bonus!) and it is one of those handle things (I am used to electric), so I roll it down a bit (I smoke - don't judge) and once I am done, I went to roll the window back up and the whole handle came off into my hand...
I love being me :)
DAUGHTRY
You'd Think That I'd Learn My Lesson By Now
You'd Think That I'd Somehow Figure Out
That If You Strike That Match
You're Bound To Feel The Flame
I'm sorry but the handle falling off made me lol
ReplyDeleteYeah...I kind of got a kick out of that too...and I am not going to lie I thought you were gonna say something along the lines of the window would roll back up or something was stuck!
ReplyDeleteBut like you said...its going to get you from point A to point B and back again!
I'm joining the laughter club. Sorry. =)
