Cars...

I´m so tired of my car. Its been malfunctioning in one way or another for a good while now. Just when you fix one thing, something else starts to malfunction. It all started with the car not starting earlier this fall. Had to drag the car to a friends garage and do an extensive check of the fuel-system. We later on fixed the problem wich turned out to be related to the fuelrelay.  When that was all fixed the car started coughing and stuttering. I thought it might be that damned relay again so i completely switched it out for a new one. It made the car easier to start but its still stuttering on low RPM´s. So now im always driving at high RPM´s.

Furthermore my windshield wipers broke down, and they broke in the middle of a heavy rainstorm on the way to work of course. Great.. This time of the year where i live its doomed to drive a car that dosent have any windshield wipers. So there i was, back to the garage again and fixing up the wipers. On top of all this i didnt have any tools to switch to the winter tires because the bolts sits to deep into the rims so i had to go buy new ones. Im just sitting here waiting for the next thing to break or for the car to not start again. Im lucky i have this buddy whos a god on fixing old Volvos. Otherwise i would be broke.

Owning a car (especially an old one) is both expensive (taking borth spare parts and insurance / tax / gas into consideration) and risky. The thing is i cant live without one since i live so far out in the bushes. Heres the car in all its glory this summer, when it still worked great to!

Gears of War should be arriving tomorrow or Friday. Im so excited i cant play any other game other than Lumines Live at the moment. All of my games just feels meaningless in comparison.
