Help.

I'm cursed. I know I am.


Let me feed you a little bit of background. I'm nice to my cars. Every single one of them. My truck and Doris loved the crap out of me. I hit a car once with my truck but it didn't get hurt at all, so it clearly forgave me because the most trouble it ever gave me was that I needed to change the air filter once. Not a problem. Doris never EVER died. Got a flat once, but that was mikes fault ha.

And now Chase. We got him for a deal. He had two previous owners, both on leases, so its reasonable for them to treat him like crap because who cares. So when we found him for sale for 12,700 we were happy. His tires were old so we were like, I guess we can get new tires since we got him so cheap. that brought his value up to 13,000. Then we got his windows tinted and new headlights, so now we're up to 13,200. Then a month later, it starts going crazy. The electrical system would freak out if used for two long and then the car would just die altogether. We took it to SL to fix that one, 1,200 dollars. So now we're up to 14,400. Everything worked fine until about three months ago it got super squeeky in the tires so we thought he just needed new break pads. But no, it needed a whole bunch of crap because every 80,000 miles Volvo's are made to need these weird stupid new things. 1,000 more dollars. So I'm like, cool. My volvo ended up really costing us 15,400. but not really, it just seemed more crappy as time went by. Only a month passed until the Check Engine light came on. New Fuel Pump. 300 dollars. Math equals, 15,700. I just really hoped nothing would go wrong. Everything has been great since and it should all be good!

Today I was driving to Soren's house when things got bumpy and the tire just popped. I pulled over, tried to fix it on my own. Every single family member couldn't come to help me. Found out that I was AAA insured so they came. He told me that because of the alignment that it slowly messed up the inside part of my car and it just wore out and done. Went to the tire place, said I needed new tires all around which I say is bull, and is trying to get 500 dollars out of us to replace all four tires. I refuse. I still owe my dad 250$ I don't need to have put in over 16,000 dollars into my car that is barely worth 12,000 if I tried to sell it right now.

Anyways, I know this is long. But tonight, me and Lin's went to the gym and for some reason I just wanted fries really bad so we went to McDonalds and got me some and went and parked her car somewhere to eat them. We left the battery running for 15 minutes maybe then we tried to start the car again and done. Aliens. Noises and lights and everything was freaking out and then dead. No more functioning. We were stranded for two hours. Calling everyone and trying everything to fix it. AAA couldnt help, lindseys dad or brothers couldnt help, MISSY TRIED TO HELP THANK YOU MISSY and then finally Anna came and rescued us.

Two broken cars in 9 hours. Cursed. I'm just glad it wasn't my car that broke down. Even though I'm sad for Lin's.
