ok really iam not sure if iam cool enough to be here, but oh well what are you gonna do .....kick me off!
iam a girl, no eye rolls please!
i live in south orange county, originally from hell-A.
i have 4 brothers, no sisters...i know, i know irrelevant....umm my dad pretty much raised me, but iam not a daddy's lil girl girl!
umm i told my dad i wanted a car he told me to get a job, i love that !
so i did and my first car was a dodge coronet <65>. it had a 383,and was truly my first love! i drove the crap outta that car and loved every minute of it.....then i totaled it and my life sucked hardcore for awhile. brokenhearts don't mend very quick!
so after driving a pt cruiser as a rental for two weeks(quit laughing at me, i hated it and almost died trying to merge on a freeway at 25 mph) i took a bike ride one night and almost pissed myself in excitement when i saw a beautiful malibu with a for sale sign on it, i cashed my insurance check the next day , test drove it , and quickly the massive hole in my heart just got a tiny bit smaller, as i signed the pink slip, forked over some cash and quickly drove to triple a to pick up my membership card and some maps.......long story short i put myself through school 40 a week in school 36 hours a week working a few less hours a week drinking and fewer hours a week sleeping ....to have the carb, a single barrell<wtf> catch on fire one day.....2 grand later a pissed off broke me and another two weeks with a pos to drive i get my bu back with brakes airshocks a rodchester carb edelbroke intake spin tech exhaust and a lil smile on my face to have the mo-fo'in engine blow up (ok i was a bit pissed off driving at 120 on the 605 listening to some sepultura)! so its in the shop ahhhhhhhh-gain and i get charged an extra hundred on the repairs because apparently the core was so messed up they couldn't send it back to gm......great ! oh did i mention i busted the cam shaft in three! thats hot! i am really not that big of a bad ass i just have immeasurably bad luck<?and i dont spell well either> so iam totally in the hole like ten grand with this car and now am totally having to love it because everything i have ever worked for in my life besides my education is completely invested in this car!
the end ! i love my car!
