apocalypsosWho wants to buy a used car? Because I was driving past the car dealership today and the Neon is on sale there for $3400.
Granted, as my mother put it when I wanted to sell it, it should be considered in good condition. It has maybe 80,000 miles on it, it has a new transmission, a new heater core, four almost brand-new tires, and I can only imagine that they had to have completely replaced whatever the hell kept locking up that rear wheel by now.
That said, I kinda want to stand in front of her and warn people away. "Don't buy her! She's evil! Her name is Christine! She'll eat your wallet! She likes to strand you in far-off locales! Everything else broke, so the only thing left to go wrong with her is for her to spontaneously go nuclear with her driver inside! RUN! RUN BEFORE SHE INVADES TOKYO! Also, she devours babies and immolates nuns. ALL WITH THE POWER OF HER EEEEEEVIL."
... did I mention I named the new car Princess Eeyore? Princess because she's my pretty shiny princess (emphasis on "my"), and Eeyore because she's gray. I filled her tank and she lasted the entire week without needing another fill-up, which the Neon always needed after four back-and-forth trips to work. Who's Mommy's big girl? Yes, it's my widdle Princess. :D (... yes, I babytalk to the car. Sue me.)
