My Computer

Default *&&^*(^&%*%^(*^ Transmission died!

Fuck! My goddamn transmission fucking died on me last night going into work. Now I gotta fucking buy a new fucking car since a new trany will run me almost what I paid for the car!

Looks like I'm not gonna be doing less than 40 hours a week in the future like I'd planned.

Shit! I just fucking hate this shit right now. I've had the car 5 fuckin months.

Oh, and fuck it if I haven't been socking away cash into savings.

I completely understand, the engine of my first car died a year after I started using it.
It was about 10 years old but it only had 100 000 km.
I had already put 1200$ on it so I said fuck it.
I drove it until it wouldn't drive anymore !
It made a really loud sound, everyone was looking at me in the streets.

Well, I got a new set of wheels on the way now: a 1997 Chevy Cavalier. It's pretty loaded, and is affordable for me. I'm basically waiting on the banks to do their stuff, so I may not have it till monday, but I could have it today---not holding my breath tho. I'll have it by the time I need to drive anywhere important.

I don't like being in the hole 12-13k between my college loan and the car payments, but my ass is covered now that I've got a 2 yr service plan and full coverage on the car. Being a good driver helps. I'm only 22, and have a sportier version of my car and I've only got to pay $700/6mo. for full coverage. And it only goes down from there. The bad news is I gotta pull a 40hr week. *sigh* At least summer is about 5 weeks away for me...and I should be able to transfer to a different department and make a little more cash this summer.
