mis_creationWow, okay. So. Much bitching ahead. You are warned.
Mechanical problems: Michael is not recognizing the drive that has all my music on it. Not. Happy. I don't know if it's just Michael, or the connection, but if I lost all my music I will scream. Probably into a pillow, but I will still scream. Thankfully I still have my punching bag so no one will get hurt. I may bloody my knuckles though...
The car situation. Godsdammit I am going to miss Hermes. That car got me to college, to university and back many times. I've had some good times in that car. Damn transmission. If it wasn't for that fucking hole in the transmission I could've kept my car, taken the insurance money from the accident and done something fun with it. (Or paid down my loans/credit card. Whatever....) Now I have to go and buy a new car when all I want is to keep the one I've got. He's stilla good car, damn it!
So the estimate for the body damage is between 1800-2100 (two different estimates, I don't know if insurance companies average it out or what...). The cost of fixing the transmission would be 2000-2500 dollars. Both of those values are more than my car is monetarily worth. So Hermes is twice totaled. Poor baby.
It's probably a bad thing that I just want to whine, "I want my car!" rather than deal with all this crap.
And that's where I'm stuck. I know I need another car. And I don't hate the cars I've driven or the two cars I've pretty much decided on (I don't car which, it'll come down to what I can pay for and either way Dad has to co-sign for me). But deep down, I just want my car.
Change sucks.

Date: 2009-05-01 11:00 pm (UTC)At least the ranting helped you feel better! WOW about the car crash! Holy COW, how often do you think that's gonna happen! We're all REALLY glad that you weren't in the car or around the car when it happened. As long as no one was hurt, that's the important part.
Boy, it would be nice to have a car... At least I have a house for a week and a half, since I'm house-sitting for some friends until the 9th. It's only four blocks away from Granddad's, too, so the wireless internet isn't in the house, but it's close, anyway.
