Life isn't fair, is it? Re: smashed Echo, etc...

LOL actually, I was the most boring teenager ever. I was a bookworm, who liked hanging out with older folks, talking about what it was like in the south in the early days. It wasn't until my sister came along that my mom realized what a good kid I was - a 'mother's dream'. Hubby is my one and only - ever. How rare is *that*?

I told you - for Bob's eyes only!

I'd be really worried about him taking a bus in *that* neighborhood, and it's quite a convoluted way to get there.

Natalie

Whoa! No Sh!t!!!

OK, Pretend I'm your Uncle, and Bob's your Uncle...

EWWWWWWWWW

Not into incest, you freak

:-P

All wright you Rice haters! They may sound different than your "Muscle Cars" but the fact that we weight so much less, make the four banger with after market headers , intake , exhaust faster than your hot rod's. Some times we don't even need that, the Subaro WRX! Now there is ZOOM! We don't have to swap motor's with "shoehorns" (We still do some times). That and watching a JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Championship) race is

1000 times cooler than NASCAR, we turn more than just one way!

I never said I wasn't a wimp; but I assure you, my hubby isn't

It's a Korean copy of 1980's U.S. technology with some fancy sheetmetal and contouring. It gets terrible mileage and honestly - do the switches, knobs, and vent controllers look like they are half as sturdy as anything even GM makes?

Flimsy is what came to mind. Now, my sister rented a Kia Optima on a trip a few weeks ago(I was along as well) and the car was depressingly like my old beater Buick, except new. My old Buick (Volvo got killed, currently driving the old beater-mobile) is a 87 LeSabre. It weighs more, gets better mileage, has more power, and drives about the same. You do the math.

A decade ago the Sephia was a great car. The problem is, they're still building 1980's cars more tha a decade later.

Since our recently rear-ended Echo will be in the body shop for at least

3 weeks, the other guy's insurance is paying for the rental. Craig (My son, for all who don't know), has been chomping at the bit to drive our new Scion, but my husband forbade it. When we went to pick up the rental car, I found out Enterprise would not cover Craig, so I have to drive the rental. At first Craig was overjoyed, because he had to drive the Scion back, and will use it until hubby gets back, or the Echo is fixed, whichever comes first. Craig's joy became instant pain when he saw what the rental car was... A candy-apple red Pontiac Sunfire (Tricked out, no less) My poor baby boy Natalie, wiping the excess bullshit off the keyboard

And your whining is for whom? You have rental insurance, or you can afford a rental on your own, bully for you.

Main concern should be for an over-indulged child, whatever happens to family cars, his voice should not be a consideration. If he drives to school...now he cannot. His whiny Mom, damn that she has to drive a rental, may actually have to drive him to school. Oh, the humanity!!! And this "wait 'til your father gets home", my husband won't let, he won't allow, but he's in Korea...blah blah. And I'll let my son tell me how it is, after he's out with his girlfriend, the same son who should be in school, and is allowed to skip classes by...his parents. Jesusgod,who raised you people? Your car was wrecked, it happens, get it fixed, shut up, give your kid bus money, they should get to their job, you do yours. Stop whining!!!

Hey Dipwad. If you don't like Nat's posts then just killfile her and move on. No one is making you read them.

Whos' whining? This was sarcasm, nothing more

Get a grip. It almost sounds like you're jealous of a 17-year-old boy. I was mocking him, not 'whining' - sheesh

Again I say - I'm not whining. Craig is car-less now, but I really did need him driving while hubby was away. Now he's being carted everywhere he wants to go, and is absolutely furious about it. He's overindulged to a certain level, but not nearly what you seem to think.

This original post was in FUN, not anguish - satire - look it up

Natalie, scraping yet another WebTV troll off her shoe

What makes him an even bigger twit is that he thought I was 'whining' - when all I really was doing was having a laugh at Craig's expense.

What a fruit loop
