Unholy Neglect!

My Myspace Photo. (No, I don't really have a Myspace...yet)

So as retaliation for her embarassing lack of updates, I have played a little expensive trick on her! Hah!


So I started having problems a couple days after my last update, wouldn't start. She followed her instinct on a parasitic drain on the battery from an aftermarket subwoofer- let's see, NB are moderately notorious for eating batteries, so stick a huge subwoofer connected straight to it. Very intelligent. Since she isn't gangster, the woman didn't need the damn subwoofer anyway, so she got out GLOVES and TOOLS in the middle of the school parking lot in the middle of the day and like 10 guys tried to help her and she said NO to all of them and they skulked away. Good job there too!


Well that evening I started right up, especially since I had an appointment at the evil stealership of doom the next day, and who really likes going to there anyway, they just do all sorts of evil prodding and poking about and then the new models laugh at you. I am an old man, and I don't need those snotty little Rabbits hopping in my face anyway. Hey, you're just Golfs with a new name! I know your secrets.


Well, long explanation later, blah blah, 710.00 were required to liberate me with several new sensors, a re-down-tune (aw shucks) and a new taillight, to be legal for NC inspection once more. Since the other light was just 'faded' (my short blue arse it was) the woman figures maybe she'll make a lamp out of it or something. I don't put it past her, she's pretty damn strange.


Oh and she's put 2000 miles on me. Okay Mum, that's my limit for the year, now park me and leave me be. ;)
To see some pics of my various dolphiny-things (via Livejournal Scrapbook) go here.
Until our next meeting,

Finally... the only car in the driveway.


Well, a lot has happened since my last post, dear (imaginary?) readers.


The scared-looking Escort was sold- and shuttled off to Wilmington. An embarassing number of widgets and -and I am not proud of this- stickers arrived in the mail to mar my flawless exterior. Look, lady. I'm almost ten years old here, and yet I have sustained surprisingly little external damage. My blue visage has faded, somewhat, but the dents and dings are minimal! Why must you insist on "personalizing" me? And with goofy marine mammals, at that?! Dolphins!! Woman- I am not Flipper!




She will shortly post photos of me in this somewhat aquatic state. My bloomenvassen has a Sunflower cluster in it. I have bath mats for mats in the front; my leather exterior has been cleaned, conditioned, and covered with a blanket in the back and seat covers in the front.
She's pleased with me, overall.
I can tell.
