I WANT

I want a new car. Want is the key word here. I know I might not need it but I sure as hell want it real bad. The car I have is the only car I have ever owned. It runs pretty well and it’s a Honda so that means it will probably run for the rest of my life. But I want a new car damn it.

My car has 148K miles on it, it was broken into last year and they stole my cd player that I only had for a year. I think they also tried to get my airbag but ran out of time. So now I have a pen stuck under the radio to help hold it in place and keep it wedged in the dash. A few weeks back my drivers side widow got stuck in the down position, the night before our first snow was expected. The fiancée and his brother got it back on track but it’s still shady when the window may decide it wants to stay down.

So one day last week I snapped. I went to the bank and was looking like an idiot while stand in the drive thru lane (I had forgotten my window was iffy). I want a new car damn it, I already know what I want, so what the hell is the hold up. So two nights ago the fiancée notices I had a headlight out as we were leaving from watching the boring Super Bowl with some friends. He waited till I was safely in the house before telling me for fear I might run my car into a wall (I’m guessing). So here I am last night in the bitter cold holding a flash light while he tries to replace the light bulb. Which ends up falling into the lense of the headlight. End of store – paid someone to fix headlight and I got an extra rolling around in there for safekeeping.

I understand that the issues with my car are mainly cosmetic but am I suppose to wait for it to break down on some back road before I can get a new one? It does make a weird nose in the mornings when it’s cold. And when I apply the break the whole car vibrates. Isn’t that enough people?
