your inherited 1993 Chevy Lumina’s doors are frozen shut and it’s a whopping 8 degrees out. I couldn’t come up with 13 reasons or 13 swear words to express the utter joy I felt when this happened this morning and my usual warm trip to the bus stop was bitterly cold. Nor did the hot water I poured onto said driver’s side door help–in fact, I’m quite sure it made things worse. /sighs Some days it doesn’t pay to get out of bed.
Yes, I like the fact that I don’t have a car payment–however, it wasn’t well taken care of–it was beaten. I guess my Pap figured it was going to be his last car, he might as well run the hell out of it and forget about maintenance. So, it’s nickle and diming me, but I can’t afford a car payment right now. Beggers can’t be choosers, now can they?
Oh, man. Hang in there — maybe you just ought to stay home until it thaws and write something new that you’ll sell for a ridiculous amount and you’ll be able to afford something better. Cash.
I know, I’m dreaming. But on a sucky day, isn’t it nice to be able to?

So sorry to hear that, and I thought our 20′s here in AL was cold. And I understand about the automobile, mine is a 96, but it is paid for.
