Are we having fun yet?

Talk about a good time! There are 4 cars...that's right, I said four! (4) cars on my insurance roll. One for each of those of us who call ourselves adults. Hana and Ben both bought cars for themselves, never mind the fact that neither one has their drivers license, but I won't go there.

At this point, as we speak, and I'm talking right NOW, not a single one is running. My pickup will start but it's hard to drive when my gas tank is laying on the ground. That's right. The good old straps that hold my gas tank up decided to protest the price of gas and just snapped. Thank the great and awesome God above that I was sitting in a parking lot when it happened and not doing 60mph down the highway when it happened. The mechanic at my shop is gonna fix it for me tomorrow so that's cool. Should have it back by the time work is over.

Sheila called me Monday when I was in Chicago and said her van was sitting in a friends driveway because it wouldn't start. It'll crank but it won't catch. I told her it's either not getting gas or fire. Got to be one or the other. Probably the fuel pump from the sounds of things. We gotta get it over to our mechanic down the street today (he didn't have room for it before now) and he said he'll take a look and let us know.

So we've been driving Hana's little yellow Geo Storm. Talk about tiny! I can get in the car but I almost need to put both hands on the ground to crawl out. Can you say Clown Car? Anyway, it started overheating yesterday. With a sewing machine engine it doesn't take long to get too hot. I drove Preston to school this morning and when I got back to the house it was HOT. Less than 2 1/2 miles.

Ben's car never has run since he brought it home so that's out of the question.

Good thing I didn't have to work today. But I do tomorrow. Maybe I can catch a ride.

All this right after I finally broke down and bought me an 80g Ipod. Oh well. Mom always told me, "Money is just a tool."

True, but people keep getting into my tool box and not putting anything back!
