The seller of my car is in flat denial that he sold me a lemon. I have no legal recourse. He is going to have surgery on his carotid artery again next week---let's see if he changes heart. My suspicion is that he knew it needed a new engine! Can't prove it, though ( Read more... )

Karma will bite that man in the ass, and I suppose that will have to do, huh? I'm sorry. You're a good person and did not deserve getting knowingly stuck with a lemon. :(

If I didn't have all this yarn, I'd have to start writing fic again.

Never thought I'd hate yarn so much. :P

It was a lovely little car, for all that it looked like a shoebox on wheels; but it undeniably had the world's weirdest electrical system.

I had that style of little Fix-It-Again-Tony. My ex and I sold it off to a sweet young thing who (like me two years earlier) thought it was cute.

The girl's father wanted to know why I was keeping the Pontiac I inherited from my grandmother and selling the Fiat. I told him that the Fiat had a higher Blue Book price. That made sense to him.

I don't know how she made out with the Fiat but I ran that 1966 Tempest coast-to-coast and lake-to-gulf almost a dozen times over the next seven years before selling it to a German sous chef who ran it off a boat ramp while drunk one night.

Yes, mine is a 1994 Buick that I ran to Georgia regularly, until this time last year. Then I started renting cars at weekend rates.

Re car - what a bugger.
