I'm stuck driving my mum's 2000 model Grand AM at the moment because I hit a deer coming home from work a little over a week ago. :?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to even have a car to drive, but my mum's car sucks. Big time. Now I see why she doesn't even drive it...
There's a short in the wiring and sometimes the blinkers don't work, sometimes you can't get the headlights to come on, other times you can't get them to go off.
The car's battery dies randomly.
The ignition has been ripped out and it is extremely hard to get it to crank.
After pumping gas, it's next to impossible to get it to crank and stay on for at least ten minutes (in which you're sitting at the gas station with people behind you, waiting to get gas, etc... for ten minutes or longer waiting for the car to decide to work)...
The gear shift has been almost ripped out and it has to be forced (literally) into gear.
The seats are highly uncomfortable.
No radio (half of the time, and when it does work, it has a very gritty tune to it...).
The windshield wipers barely work...
I could go on and on...
I miss my car. I want my car back. My cousin better hurry up and get the right parts in and get my car fixed.
Having to drive my mum's crapshoot of a car around has made me realize how much I love my own car... and want it back. Lol...
I wasn't hurt when I hit the deer and wrecked, thank goodness, but I did 2500 dollars worth of damage to my car, according to the insurance company. I should have already had my car back, but my cousin insisted that my car was a 2001 model (and it's a 2002 model) and ordered 2001 model parts instead of the right parts, and when the parts came in, they didn't fit so he's having to reorder the parts...
*sigh*...
Killed the deer on impact, by the way...
