The Car Story
Here is the story of my car.
When I was living in Lancaster I had a wonderful 2000 Honda Civic SI. I loved this car. the body style was only made in 1999 and 2000 and it was a great car. Never any major problems with it and then ones it had were not expensive. Then one morning when I go to go to work my car is missing. I freak out. I freak out good. I think of everything that could have happened. Did it get repossessed? Did I not park it were I thought I did? I didn't want to think about it getting stolen, but that was what happened.
About a week later I got a call from the police saying they found my car in a field not to far from my place. It had been stolen and stripped down to almost just the frame. I went to see it and it was a shell of what it had been. No motor, wheels, stereo, transmission. They took everything including my ipod and digital camera I had in there and some CD's. To add insult to this they had eaten some breakfast bars I had in there and left the wrappers for me to see. I have pics of this, but not digital.
Well luckily I have good insurance and got a large amount of money from them. Enough to pay off the rest of my loan and still get a good down payment on another car. I decided to look for something other then a Honda because I seemed to have bad luck with them between this incident and flipping my 2001 Civic (which is another story). So I set out on the internet looking for something that I liked and was cheapish.
I stayed up one night and stumbled across a Nissan. I had looked at Nissan when I got my SI but it was to expensive back then. This time around it was not. I found a silver 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V. More horse power, more torque. I was OK with the body. So Nissan it was.
Well The car was doing fine. I have about eight months left of payments on it and now it's just shitting out on me. First I needed new tires. OK that comes with time. BUT I have 17 inch low profile tires which ended costing about $110 a piece. Then the brakes needed to be replaced. OK another thing that wears down. Fine. Well I had to down grade my brakes because of money. So no more high performance brakes for Molyneaux. Then I decide to be an idiot in Maryland and hit a curb. Well that cost me two new tires and a new rim. I find out that my rims are $650 a piece new. That means that it would cost me over $3,000 if I ever had to replace everything! Luckily I found a used rim for only $250. Hitting a curb ended up costing me close to $700.
Well this brings me to last night. I was coming home from Catie's and taking the back roads. I'm going down a hill and making a turn when I hear POP! and then no more air in my tire. I saw nothing so I thought my tire just blew out. Turns out there is a pot hole that is on the side of the road and slightly sticking out. Enough to catch my tire. Well I guess my car is made of aluminum because somehow it blew my tire and BENT MY FUCKING RIM! Now I have to get a new rim on my passenger side. It takes a week for the rim to come in. FUCK!
I want to get rid of this fucking car. I want something simple. Nothing fancy. I'm down with the part of my life. I'll be happy with a Yaris or something small like that.
