10 years

This month marks a milestone I'm quite proud of. The Something Mobile and I have been together 10 years. I got her when I was a junior in college. I was living with Jamie on Pierre St. above Crazy Carly and Fun Bobby. They were weird, but it made life interesting.

She's been acting funny lately, you know, running hot and then cooling down. I thought she was just menopausal, but it appears to be more serious than that. The mechanic in OKC said she needs a new engine to the tune of $6500. I find this hilarious since the car is only worth about $4500 with a working engine. Needless to say I'm not taking this as a final answer on her fate. I really NEED her to last me one more year (at least). For starters, I really don't want a car payment, and secondly, I've really grown accustomed to having the one car in the parking garage that's alarm goes off every time I hit unlock. Makes those Range Rover owners envious, I just know it!

So here's to a better answer on Monday and at least another year with the old girl...
