A New Car?

 

Indeed, I am in need of a new car. I realize that this is so real at the moment due to the fact that my car has been going to the garage on a regular basis. Perhaps it just likes taking time off. I have had it for over 10 years now and old cars do present issues as time goes by.

In June, it was in the garage for around a week and so many parts had to be changed because where I used to take it, they did horrible work, just masquerading the problem, but that is a whole different story. Nonetheless, I spent so much money on the work that I decided to keep it for a few more months.

In August, there was an issue with my tires, well, not the tires themselves, but the axels where the tires are connected to. The car took three days off. Then it came back running smoothly.

Now, we are in September, and all of a sudden, my car started turning off and on all by itself while I was parking. Possessed? Perhaps. So, on Saturday morning, I woke up with a strong feeling that I should take it in to be checked. Once again, it will be there for another few days.

When I tell my friends about it, I get the same advice – get rid of it and buy a new one. I realize this is the best thing to do. However, going to a car dealer is a pain for me.

Going to a dealer not only means having to put up with the pushing and shoving of accessories which I do not need but also my inability, due to their insistence of the latter, to convince the dealers about what I do need. I usually take my sister´s husband along to play the role of my husband, which is ridiculous, I know, but we do live in a macho society.

It comes to the point where I just wish someone would go to the dealer, make the purchase, and send me the bill.
