If you're happy and you know it then your smile will surely show it, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands (clap clap)!
The sun really does wonders for my mental psyche. Anyway, how have all you been? Uh huh. REALLY? She said that? God.
Oh me? You know, same old same old. My car's been kind of a pain in the ass lately...actually let me tell you about it.
So, I have this car. It's a '98 toyota corolla. red. tab locks. roll windows. A regular 'pimpmobile' if you will.
I've had it since senior year of high school and it's seen me through a lot (like, um, senior year of high school? and random summers at the Cape? and a few years of college? and now a few years of living in nyc?). It hasn't had many problems...(well, except for that time I got into a car accident while I was driving it and I had to get a new passenger side front door. OH, and that other time I dented someone's back bumper with it...and then that yellow pole in the parking garage um...) and yet, as time goes on, I notice that the 'ol tank is kind of falling apart.Things that are wrong with my car:
1) Missing front mirror. YEAH...did I blog about this? Someone jacked the left front mirror from my car, while it was parked in front of my apartment. LIKE, LITERALLY in front of my apartment. WHO DOES THAT?!
2) Crack in the windshield. It happened when a rock hit my windshield when I was driving on the highway. It's been about 4 years and it hasn't gotten any bigger so I guess I'm home free?3) Roll windows. They did technically come with the car...but I view them as a 'flaw' rather than a 'feature'.
4) Tab locks. See above
5) 'Fasten seat belt light' is always on. This started to happen a few years ago. It doesn't effect the mechanics of the car...and I know it's not really 'bad'...but I don't think it's good either.
6) 'Door open light' is always on. This started to happen a while ago, after I got into that car accident the passenger door of my car was dented in (don't worry, I was ridin' solo yo). I got it fixed, but then it started to go off again and at this point, who really cares?
In short, though I have four hub caps now (for a while I only had three), and my brakes don't squeal (for a while they did), and my license plate is firmly attached to my front bumper (just picture packing tape...and a dangling license plate)...my car is in need of some help. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to fixing it. MAYBE
If my car, as a large personal possession, is a personal reflection of me then I must look something like this:

I think we're in the same boat. One of the tail lights of my car is currently held in with packaging tape (super classy) and the airbag light won't go off. Oh, and the AC now isn't working either.
But MAN I hate paying to fix my car, so.... our cars can just be ghetto friends. Yeah Queens and Jersey!
