Take, Take, Take


Seven years ago, I made a really dumb choice (but hey hindsight is 20/20). That dumb choice cost me thousands of dollars to start (well really only $320 a month for a while), then proceeded to suck more and more money every week($1 per Gal, $2 per Gal, $3 per....). Beyond that constant sucking sound, there were periodic gusts coming from my wallet (Tires, Timing Belt...).

So it seems fitting that as my elantra's last gasp it attempted to take its largest lump sum yet, $2300. But oh silly grey car, I am wise to your antics. You will not be getting that new cash infusion you so desperately need after you disemboweled yourself by shorting the fuel pump and all the o2 sensors while melting the wiring harness. See I have the last laugh, do you hear that faint crushing metal sound? Do you hear it getting nearer? Unless someone takes pitty on you and your money grubbn' ways you are going to know how a used aluminum can feels.

And good riddance too! I have found a new money drain, really you forced me to. This new drain is less of a drain for a shorter time, we will call it version 2. v2 also has more room, and a hatch back, and best of all has AWD.

Good bye dumb decision. Hello new decision (still to recent to discuss the quality).
