Over due for a wash...
This is my car(Dodge Intrepid)... my last one was a Grand-Am. A part of me wishes I had never traded(it would have been paid off by now!!). That was the first "new" car I ever bought. It had only 8 miles when I purchased it.
Before that, I had a Mercury Cougar. That was a pretty cool car. (and) also the first nice automobile I ever owned. I had won $800 at the casino to use for the down payment.
Prior to that, I really have no idea what kind of cars I drove. I remember one was green, and a blue one, and a brown one with Native American patterns on the seat covers. That was pretty neat... usually I would pay about $300 and then drive them til they died on me... I've never been one to know much about cars anyway. Just "gas-n-go".
... and boy, did I have some winners... I remember one had no brakes for the longest time. I would put it in neutral and then pump the hell out of the peddle til it stopped. Winter time was nice 'cause I could use the snow on the side of the street as kind of a cushion to slow the thing down. I never had an accident. Although one time, I was going to work and I could tell I was moving way too fast to stop. So I went up to the next block where there was this big pile of snow, and bracing myself, coasted into it.
Another car had no reverse. I would always park it so that I could drive straight out. After awhile, I had every parking lot in town memorized. :-)
Yet another one... (still with me?)... had a driver's door that would not shut all the way. So I would tie a rope from the passenger side to keep it tight... I was pulled over by a cop once while driving this one. He thought I didn't stop completely at a sign. "I thought I did"... he never said a thing about the rope tying the two doors together. Bless his heart. He just let me go. I'm sure he couldn't believe his eyes.
Most of my little problems were mostly(alright, all) my own stupidity. I was always afraid of what the repairs would cost... I had little money... a smarter person would realize that repairing something early on... is cheaper in the long run.
OH... and let me tell you. If the cloth thing that is covering the inside of your roof loses it's stickiness and just hangs there. Rubbing against your head as your driving. Don't ever, in a fit of rage, rip the whole thing out. The stuff on the other side will come flaking down on you..."Heavy"!!!... you'll feel like your in a snow globe. ;-)
