Mi coche

So here is how it went down:

I went to OU this morning for my orientation.

I was on University and stopped at a red light.  Suddenly, my car started rolling backwards.  I was pushing down on the break as far as I could.  I was screaming “oh my goodness! oh my goodness! I am going to hit this car behind me!”  So then I threw my car into park & freaked out a little more.  The light turned green, I put my car into drive and it worked fine.  I, of course, was still freaking out & I was shaking and praying the entire way after that.  I come up to the next red light & I start freaking out again.  My car stopped fine & didn’t roll backwards.  Then the light turned green and my car stalled.  I turned it off & it didn’t want to start again.  Of course I freaked out a little more because my flashers don’t work.  My car finally started for me & I finally made it safely to OU.

Then the entire way home I prayed, talked sweetly to my car & kept my hand on the emergency break.  I thankfully had no car problems on the way home (well…except for turning left onto University instead of right, causing me to have to take 175, then M59 [south instead of north because I'm dumb] and make my way back into Rochester…what a waste of gas.)

My brother told me that I have a few hoses that may be leaking (in addition to my transmission leak).  He thinks that the problem may be bad gas (dumb Mobil).

This weekend my parents are gone, so I plan to drive their car everywhere…just to feel safer.

I’m glad you made it home without more problems. At least you have your parent’s car to screw up over the weekend. Are your parents at Metamora? Are you going Sunday or Monday?

Haha, yeah…I probably will screw their car up.
I was thinking about going out on Sunday, but I’m not positive.
You guys should go out Sunday night for a bonfire!

Omg how stupid. Maybe your parents should have gotten you a better car instead of a piece of shit ford. Then again it didn’t matter to you cause youre like 18 and you have a car. woo special. 18 isnt too old to have crushes or anything immature like that. being immature is part of enjoying life and youre letting it pass you by cause you think youre a big girl because your 18. just because your old enough to do shit doesnt mean you know everything. bad gas will not make your car roll backwards at a light. check the clutch. and I know right now youre saying “dumb rude person I have an automatic!”…heres a secret, they have clutches too! If it’s not the clutch then it could have been an air bubble in your brake line. Or maybe it’s because you have a car older than you and it’s a piece of shit?

Okay kiddo….unlike some people, I am responsible and I bought my own car. I’m sorry that people like you, who seem to get everything handed to you can’t understand things like that.

When did I say that I don’t like being immature? Being immature is fun…to a certain extent.

I’m sorry hun, but crushes are for middle schoolers.

I’m sure my brother knows much much more about cars then you, so get over yourself. Also, my car isn’t older then me, it’s only 12 years old…but I’m sure that means that it is older then you, since you obviously must me a kid.

Also, watch your language on my blog…it only makes you sound dumb.

was that supposed to be a snappy comeback? because it sucked. lol. Anyhow, buy a new car. fords break after 130K miles and it’s money trap to repair the pieces of shit. You can have a crush at any age, if you ever had one, you’d know that. Your brother doesn’t know jack about cars or he never would have let you blow money on a 12 year old ford. Also, I bought my own car too. By the way, did you know 18-12 is 6? You were 6 years old when your car was new. SIX. So don’t give me that ‘my car is ONLY 12 years old” and then make 18 years of life seem like SO much longer. Because it isn’t.

Not everybody can afford to buy a new car. Alrighty? So get over yourself, my dear.
