I hate my car...
Oh, I probably shouldn't say that, I haven't had a car for a long time, and I'm grateful I have it now, even though, for work, its optional, and I use that option(a bicycle) when I can. But, there are only two things wrong with my car that cause me to hate it, first, the air conditioner is broken, that wouldn't be so bad if the windows rolled down, but they are power windows, and they are broken as well, and won't come down. Needless to say, when I do use the car, its for very short trips or at night, when its just a tad cooler.

It easily gets really hot in the car, with or without one of those damned reflectors in the windshield. So I call it the sweatbox, and I'm going to use it today, I don't relish that. Even on cloudy days, like today, its fucking hot in that damned thing. I park it under a tree, to keep it in the shade, but I can't tell the difference, really. Oh well, just my stupid rant of the day.

1. Your electric windows are broken? All of them?
Could be a fuse...that is a simple repair.

2. My son sells cars... he can get you a deal
Actually, car dealerships are all giving out deals these days. The cash-back incentives and the low financing.... you can get a really good deal just about anywhere right now.

3. I hate power windows.
I'm always scared they are going to break and I will have to open the door as opposed to rolling down the window.

5. That happened to me. My power windows went out.
I had to go through a toll booth twice a day, so had to open the car door to thrown the change in the basket.

4. Have you ever stopped to consider what your car thinks about you?
Would it have nice things to say?
