So the 95 is reallly starting to get on my nerves. I swear I think the car has a soul of its own. My car doesnt run exactly great and last night i accidentally left the windows down. It rained a little, but it wasnt bad. Dried my doors off and the edge of the leather (barely blew in) and headed to school. Came ot the biggest intersection in town adn the thing dies. And I mean DEAD. Won't crank over, wont do anything. And its raining. So I get out and I start ot push it out of the way, holding up traffic, and then i hear it, and realize the battery's loose. Pop opne the hood, the battery hold down is missing and the battery slid foward and the cable came undone. Put it on, jumped in and took off to get out of the way. Turned around and headed back towards the intersection because I was pointed the wrong way and it died again, this time do to its crap idle and whatnot. Got it fired back up, and went on adn my god blessed gas pedal BROKE! So now I'm driving down the road, almost to school, jsut a little piece of metal as a pedal and revving it to keep it alive. Got it in this afternoon, and was driving it to a friends house to wait out a huge storm that rolled in and when I was turning on to her road, it made some god awful noise. Brakes? Steering? No idea. Something not good. And my exhaust has a leak from goign over my bridge everyday. And the thing occasionally has a horrible sputtering problem. Did it a couple days ago, sputtering when I start it up, have to really stay in the gas to keep it from dieing. I hate this car. I don't have the money to get ti running right and I've got WAY too much in it and I'll never see it again. I've got around $8000 in it, not including regular maintence (Royal Purple every 3000 miles, and lately its been sooner due to my non functioning speedometer) and the tons and tons I've spent trying to keep its peeling paint clean. I'd really be pressing my luck to get $4000 for it right now. I'm tired of it. Absolutely tired of it. I have no extra money to spend on it. I'm about to graduate, prom's tomorrow night, and I've got a senior trip I'm commited to and I need money for it. I really question whether or not this car can take me to college this fall, and to be honest, I'm gonna be terrified on the way up there and back. Because its not going to last. I need something else, but I can't afford to throw all that money I have in it away and I can't afford another car. UGH :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:
