Why Me?

What's the worst thing someone can have in the world? Well, I'll sure as hell tell you it's luck.
So yesterday, my car was acting funny. Well I did what everyone else would do. I brought it to the shop.
They said they found nothing wrong with it, but I asked questions about this noise under the car and it turned out to be the transmission mount was rotting away. I said OK, I'll get that fixed. I got it fixed and got it back today. I was so happy that the noise was gone when I drove it and thought to myself, if anything else were to go wrong today, I'd still be in a happy mood.

Well, that all turned out to be a lie. Something else in fact did happen. On my way home from work, my car started to "skip a beat." Meaning that there is either something wrong with my engine or something else that I don't know of. The check engine light isn't on so I don't think it is the engine. But anyway, I was getting closer to home and my car was getting worse. It was jumping, I smelt something burning, almost like the smell of the sulfur when you light a match.so I pulled over to the side of the road. I called my father in a panic and he came to look at it. He can't find anything wrong with it. So we brought it to the mechanic AGAIN and I am probably going to get another five hundred dollar bill for something small, like the spark plug being loose or something idiotic. But anyway I hope my car is fine and it is something minor so that I am not going to pay a whole lot.

Let me add, this isn't the first time this has happened to me. As a matter of fact, this has happened about three more previous times. Each car that I've had, (1992 Nissan Sentra, 1987 Plymouth Grand Fury, 1993 Chevrolet Cavalier, and a 1997 Saturn LS) The Saturn never had a problem, except that the window is fucked up. But like I don't have any luck with cars. I bet that if I were to get a 2009 Scion tC, this same problem would happen. There is just something about me and owning cars that don't mix. Maybe I should just bicycle around everywhere. I would loose alot of weight I'll tell you that much. But like seriously, I think that I am going to start to bicycle everywhere. One, it's cheaper and two it won't cost over thirty dollars to get something fixed on it.

Not only would I bicycle around, but I can also use public transportation, although that would actually make me loose money on a count of putting money into a thing which is annoying. And sometimes the buses don't even run as late as I work. God only knows if the buses go anywhere near my job. I haven't seen one bus pass in the 6 months that I have been working. So who even knows. Maybe I'll quit my job, and get a job where I can sit at home on the computer for eight out of the twenty four hours of the day, which is mostly what I do anyway. But like I said, I have the worst luck with cars, and any type of vehicle as a matter of fact. Anything with wheels that I drive, breaks down. I don't know. I'm just glad that I have my friend's to cheer me up, and parent's who will let me use their cars when I don't have one.

Well, I honestly have no idea what else kinda luck to rant about, but that's it for now. If anything comes up, which I'm sure it definitely will, than I will edit this selection.
