I'm going to create a new help goup: Autoholics Anonymous. It would be a real help for people like me; I get bored with my vehicles quickly and usually end up with a new one every two years or so. Let's see, license at sixteen.... I'm twenty six now.... carry the 2....yup, ten years and I've owned 8 cars and a motorcycle! I've had a Chevy Cavalier, Oldsmobile Calai, GMC jimmy, Honda Prelude, Honda Accord, Audi A4, Honda Shadow, Nissan Xterra, and a Honda Civic si. Don't get me wrong, I love my new 8000 rpm redline 200 horsepower Civic Sedan si- the touch screen DVD system makes road trips super nice, the micro-fiber seats are comfy, and the gas mileage is much better than my last vehicle.... I just hope that in two years, I still love it as much as I do right now. My friend Matt really gave me a great deal on it, which makes it extra special.... comparable to a vintage T-shirt that everyone compliments you on and then becomes twice as cool when they find out you only paid two dollars for it!
Special thanks to Matt for hookin a brotha up!
On a side note, I'm working at one of our branches in Vernal, of all places, this week and I've been up tight all week because the locals insist on driving huge diesel trucks and have no clue how to park OR back them up... I have no problem with people driving large vehicles, but Please, Please, Please learn how to drive your truck before taking it into a public parking lot.
So far, I have never regretted any of the vehicles I've purchased. My Audi would have been a regret if not for the bumper to bumper warranty it came with; she spent a lot of time in the shop:( That gets me thinking.... what if warranties were available for other aspects of life? Like relationship warranties? Better yet, a Mental/Emotional/Spiritual Health warranties?!:) I suppose that life has no warranties because human beings are more resilient than cars. Instead of just breaking down after a proverbial crash in life, we generally recover and learn from what we did wrong. Sometimes, the lesson learned is the easy part; it's fixing the mess we made that's hard...... such experience builds Character; Character is motivation from the soul.
Wow! What a tangent that was:)
