on tuesday, february 17, 2009, I made the last and final payment on my car!!!! I have never felt so relieved and excited in my life. five years of $294 a month is finally over! the car is now officially mine. woohoo! I am now the proud owner of a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse. and what perfect timing, with the economy the way it is, right? things were looking up.
on wednesday, february 18, 2009, as I walked out to the parking lot after a long day at work I noticed that the hub cap on the passenger side front tire was gone. how in the world did that just disappear? I thought to myself, "if this is a sign of things to come now that the car is mine, I might kick someone." but, then figured a hub cap really isn't that big of a deal and went on my merry way.
on friday, february 20, 2009, I took Silver Love (yes, that is her name. long story) in for an inspection and license plate renewal. I was sure she would pass with flying colors, but as I sat there playing bejeweled on my phone without a care in the world, the guy came in to tell me that my car had failed. something about the RPMs idling too high. I couldn't help but think, "what in the world does that have to do with safety?" but, arguing would be pointless and immature of me, so I took the failure notice and went to the gym to work out my frustration.
this is the definition of ironic. and I have never been a fan of ironic. is it too much to ask to just have this one simple victory in my life? apparently so.
here's to Silver Love and all the drama that comes with her ownership.
