so Gerty may have been loud and whiny but she never let me down (well once but ill giver her that ..it was her time to go) and was most definately not high maintenance. it was simple ...if she didnt start she needed oil ..add some oil and away she went. I gave up trying to fix the power steering. This new guy who I have yet to name, has so far been a pain in the anus. thats just my veiw of it all. But that could just be me. On the way home from the dealership I got the windshield chipped. So immediately after getting my plates and registration for it the next morning I took er into speedy glass. No biggie really ..but still a pain. I had to walk in the cold an all I really wanted to do was show off my hot new little car. all the dents and years on Gerty and she only had one scratch on her windsheild. anyhoo thats all fine i get the car back and show it off ...drive it back to stoon. Get up 6 hours later drive it to work no problem ..runs like a dream. On my way home from work however the "service engine soon" light comes on and im like this cant be good. this car has only been in my name for 24 hours. So I think maybe its just too cold. I get home shower let my car warm up for half an hour ....Im on my way to my aunts for supper and tick tick tick ..my car starts to die. oh Lord. "just get me to Vickis alive!" I pray . i get there alive but not un frazzled. IM a little stressed. I just used my entire savings for the downpayment on this car and im broke from the repairs and higher fees etc that ive put into it in the last 2 days i just want the stupid thing to work. right. cuz mom and i are supposed to be taking it to Wiseton. well that is out of the question. They(Danny and Trevor) discover that theres water where there shouldnt be and its been froze. It could just be sparkplugs(no biggie) or it could be a cracked engine block (not good at all) We go anyway (take the EX) i try not to let it sour my mood but im still a little sour. Wouldnt you be? anyway we get back ..and its running....for now. so yeah ..theres really no point to this story other than my cheap beat up putter car so far has proved to be more reliable than my new expensive fancy shiny car. Luckily I have warranty. although half the time that means nothing. Anyway ...I just wanted to get that out. Pray that my car runs and the problem is worked out and that if it isnt that its cheap to fix. so yeah ..have a good night yall ...IM off to take my car for a spin...Heres hoping i don't get stranded. Its bloddy cold out.
