So maybe life isn't so good afterall.....
So I just decide to post yesterday about how my life is going well, I'm happy, blah blah blah...I must have upset the happiness gods because on lunch yesterday afternoon I am driving back to the office and I decide to go thru the neighborhood next to my office, la la la looking at houses, stop at a stop sign and bam, my damn axle breaks on my car. To add to my pleasure I forgot to charge my cell phone the night before and it was dead. So out I go in the 100 degree heat mind you, walking in my super cute sandles that so not super comfy to walk around in walking the 2 blocks or so to my office. N O T F U N!!! I get there, call around for tow trucks, cry a little, cuss, ya know the norm, and finally call Gigi to come pick me up and take me back to my car to wait for the tow truck. So things are ok, I get the car home, my dad looks under it and says the axle is broken and it looks as if my A-frame is cracked. So I have had it with this old raggady car, that has 1 windsheild wiper, only 3 windows that go down, and only 2 that actually go back up, the ignition switch is going out so it takes a good 5 mins. to start the car, after a whole lot of wiggling, shaking of the steering wheel and cussing, no AC which is not good in the aforementioned 100 degree St. Louis weather, and needs a exhaust issue fixed that causes it to sound like a race car letting everyone in a 1 mile radius know Crystal is coming down the road!! But I regress, I go up to the local car dealership, tell them my situation, I have no money down, I need a cheap, realiable used car to get me back and forth to school and work. I find a honey of a deal* on a 2000 Buick Century with only 60,000 miles on it. It has 2 windsheild wipers, AC and I fall in love. The guy sells it to me for $5900! Great deal, everything was going well until today, 24 hours after said purchase, I hear the oddly familar "pop", and "jiggling of metal" sound as I had heard in my old car. Surely this can't be, another car with an axle problem, I'm just being parinoid, right?! So I turn down the radio, turn off the nice cool AC, and turn to the left....."pop"!!! Yep something is wrong. I am so freaking pissed right now. I have a 30 day 50/50 warrenty but come on 24 hours later....they better fix this!! I don't have the money to pay even the half of the costs! I'm broke as a joke right now. I'm stretching the budget already with the new car payment, but figured it would be worth it just to have a safe, dependable car, but NOOOOO, my luck is just not that great! Cars HATE me, that has to be it! I have NEVER had any good luck with cars, NEVER!!! Something "crazy" is always happening to me and my cars....stuff that doesn't happen to normal people....steering wheels falling off in my hands, yes this has happened to me seriously, now tires falling off! I can't take much more!!!
