Omg...Omg...Omg....Omg....

Okay, so if you have been reading the blog you know my car drama....well yesterday I was blasting my music in my car and I was like...dang...that's some serious base there...then I thought dang Tina that ain't base... I think blew the speakers...but now I'm wondering. Because when I went to leave for work this morning, something just wasn't right so I pulled over at the gas station and found yet again I had a flat tire...Did I tell you I just bought new tires, so I try and fill it up...and it ain't doing nothin with the air. I want to cry...because remember I am alone down here...who do I call, I don't even have the number to a taxi in my phone...yeah and I give the lecture to my boy about learning everything the hard way...remember I have been married girl...this was not one of my specialties. Tragedy would strike and I would cry help :) Well not today I had to figure this one out all on my own. Now I don't want you to think of me wrongly...I managed most of the household...I managed it well, but the car thing...I wanted nothing to do with it other than driving it. Remember I have 2 degrees in college, I know that means nothing to many...but I just want you to know I'm not lazy, or stupid...but sometimes :)

Anyhow, I am so close to the dealership where we bought the car, I drive it right in there. Well they think I must have hit something on the road and blew it...that would have been the loud base last night :) And it would have been even louder if I wasn't listening to my music so loudly. So anyhow, I arrive to work 40 minutes late...I wonder what they must think of me. I eat chicken out of my pocket, which I have to hear about alllllllllllllllll dayyyyyyyyyy long. Everyone wants to see my veins...it's an ER thing...we love a body with good veins...everyone is like look at her veins they are like pipes running up and down her body :) Seriously I want to hide in a corner sometimes. Yeah they'll eventually get use to it...but anyhow I feel like Lucy sometimes because I am a clutz, and I am late, and I have to run all over town for my nursing license..Oh I don't know if I told you that story....and now I'm late...this stuff never use to happen to me...

So I get a call saying it will be another $600 to fix the tires, I need a new rim, and two new tires, and the rim is used...damn Mark for having good taste in rims :) So anyhow, I start to well up...because I still have $2300 worth of repairs on my list and I just spent $600 a couple weeks ago. I'm thinking...okay, fine I'll get a new car...I can't take this anymore. So finish up work, get myself a $20 taxi ride back to the dealership. I walk in and the guy says...so you want me to order that rim...it will take a day or two to get it...and I'm like...and I know...never buy a car desperate...but what can I say...I am :) So I look at the Pontiacs...do not ask me why I like them but I do :) And I'm thinking G5, looks nice, great specs, great gas, sunroof, best sound package available, power doors, locks, spoiler, air, cruise...everything a girl could ask for...and heck my kiddos are older, I'm getting a coupe :) But I drive it and I'm thinking, it's not my car...it doesn't feel like my car....and then I see her....

OMG...she felt like she belonged to me :) I looked at her and thought that is my car...I have to have her. So I walk over and eye her up...she's beautiful...and the salesman walks over and says you'd look sweet in that car...she looks like she is made for you...and I'm like yeah whatever dude....of course I'd look sweet in it, I'd look sweet on a box of rocks...stop the bull...not buying it :) OMG the smell of leather, heated seats....and boy can she drive and the sound is out of this world...and there is a port to plug in my zune, no more cassette tape to broadcast zune :) She's not black though, I would have liked black, she's that dark metallic grey like my old car. So I didn't get to bring her home yet...I have to see about financing in the morning...I might not get her...but she feels like mine :)

Anyhow she is the 2008 G8 GXP OMG fully loaded :) Never been driven...so because she is a 2008 I got a sweet deal...the 2009's are $32,000 cars thats for the base model... ha...I'm not gonna tell you what I paid for it but it wasn't much more than the G5...and I bought her off the show room floor :) I'm excited :)



Oh boy I see trouble :) Mine of course is a coupe and it feels like you are in a race car...with a whole lot of tork....Vroom...Vroom :)

Oh and speed on over to my DreamBodies blog...I found something I think you might like :)

So sorry to hear about your car trouble girl. I know exactly what you mean tho. Gary takes care of all of that for me too, don't know a thing about it, except to put gas and windshield wiper fluid in it. Good luck with the new ride! I'm sure she's made for you!

Nice new car! Congrats! But a warning - even new cars can get flat tires. I deal with all my own car issues even tho I am married. I am better at it than my hubby actually.

So do yourself a favor and get AAA.

Good luck!
