Sad news, but I’m glad that this can happen and I can have my sanity at the same time. I found out this morning that there is more wrong with Rachel, my eagle talon, than what I thought / was told last week. I went to Dobb’s (mech. shop) to pick up my car because they said that it was fixed and that it was ready to be picked up. The reason it wasn’t working was a mystery to them, and still was when I went to pay and pick up my keys. 2 fuses were blown, and the oil tank was completely empty!? which is ridiculous because I just got an oil change 4 weeks before this incident. I went to pick up my car with Rob to drive my new car back (a half hour from home) got in the car, and tried to start it… the same thing happened. So basically I paid for a mech shop to give my car back in the exact same condition i handed it to them? no, not on my watch.
So long story short, I am getting full refund for the repairs and work done prior to, but… now my best option is to have it toed (pay for it) to a dump and get paid ‘maybe’ for the toe charge amount. So it’s crushed my spirits a little bit, but who knows, maybe i’ll put it on craig’s list for 400 bucks and it’ll be taken out of my hands.
eeeeeek!

Breahe You In
Thousand Foot Krutch

Taking hold, breaking in
The pressures on, need to circulate
Mesmerized and taken in
Moving slow, so it resonates
It’s time to rest, not to sleep away
My thoughts alone, try to complicate
I’ll do my best, to seek you out
And be myself, not impersonate

Tried so hard to not walk away
And when things don’t go my way
I’ll still carry on and on just the same

I’ve always been strong
But can’t make this happen
‘Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in
The fear of becoming
So tired of running
Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in
I want to breathe you in

I’m going in, so cover me
Your compass will, help me turn the page
The laughing stock I’ll never be
Because I won’t let them take me

Tried so hard to not walk away
And when things didn’t go my way
I’ll still carry on and on just the same

I’ve always been strong
But can’t make this happen
‘Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in
The fear of becoming
So tired of running
Cause I need to breathe…

Took awhile to see all the love that’s around me
Through the highs and lows there’s a truth that I know
And it’s You

I want to breathe you in

I bought a new car! I’ve been looking for a while now and knew that I didn’t want to go through a rerun of last winter with the car I currently had (some know her as rachel, the eagle)… it just wasn’t reliable. So with my new job I knew that I didn’t want to have any possibillity of missing work and creating a bad impression. and that is THE only reason I got a new car…………….
yeah right! I’m am pleased to unleash my New car! It is a Mazda RX-8 with the famous 212 hp rotary engine, 18 rims, and more fun to go around. It is by far going to be a journey to afford it but it is a journey worth traveling.
I have more pictures in my photo gallery (use the button on the left) in the category My Car. But for you lazy people who don’t want to click the button here’s some appetizers for yah…

She’s my new baby, has yet to earn a name yet, but that’s part of the fun
