A Little Rant

After having quite possibly the worst cold ever for the entire week, I was finally feeling good enough to venture out on Saturday.

The Buick has been making a little noise in the front of the car. Nothing really alarming, I thought it could just be a soft tire, or a wheel out of balance.

Low and behold there was a thud, a clunk and a clamor while driving it on satruday. I couldn't keep driving the car because it sounded like a wheel was going to fall off.

So there I was, for the first time in several years broke down on the side of the fucking road...well okay, not the side, I limped it to a parking lot, but STILL! It was cold and I was afraid of catching pneumonia.

My grandmother's 98 Buick with a lowly 80,000 miles on the odometer is fucked. And that's not discounting the fact that the heater has been leaking for months leaving the inside of the car WICKED foggy ALL the time.

I have to call the garage today to find out what's wrong with it, but it leads me to this:

1.) I'm never going to buy another American car, considering this 'upscale' care couldn't make it to 100,000 miles or 10 years with out a serious mishap.

2.) Ford deserved to lose it's #2 spot to Toyota, and GM deserves to lose number one, and I hope it does. All the workers deserve to be laid off, and the companies deserve to go bankrupt for making such inferior products, and not even having the foresight to compete with Toyota on ANY front that matters.

3.) That 'Right in the Center' guy kind of annoys me.
