Yeah, so. My car has been hit. Again. This makes it the fourth time. There were the two original incidents, the one on 146, and now this one. Why does my car attract people who like to hit cars? Yeah, so, quarter of eleven this morning I hear Ron banging on my door. And so I blearily make my way over and open it. He tells me that the plumber hit my car, he's gonna leave insurance info for me, and can he have my keys so that they can move my car? So I'm like, "Yeah yeah sure here." and I go back to bed. Mum calls an hour or so later and wants to know if I went out to look at it. Of course not I'm asleep. And so I hang up and go back to sleep again. Well, apparently there's a lovely dent in the front fender about the size of a head. ::sigh:: Why my car?? Why not the dumpster?? I haven't even had it for a year yet. Poor thing. But, oh well. At least it was a shitbox when we got it, so it's not like a new car is slowly being destroyed. :-P

you consider that a shitbox? what do all the rest of us have?

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Um, Tom? Have you looked at your car?

[tawmiz.livejournal.com]

um nire? my car didnt cost half of what yours cost. your car is nicer than all the cars in my family. hearing you call it a shitbox kinda pisses me off. but im sorry it got hit.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Yes. Because you got yours for free. A Ford Focus, stick-shift, never-been-used (at least, it looks that way) for free.

Your uncle owns a car dealership. I understand that's the only reason you got it. Well, and cuz no one wants a stickshift Focus.

You car and your mum's car are neither nicer nor cheaper than my car (okay, the part about your mum's is wild speculation judged just from me sitting in it). Do you even know how much mine did cost?

So, when your brakes randomly don't work, when your rear window defroster doesn't work, when your car reeks of cigarette smoke and your windshielf wipers streak like nobody's business no matter how many times you get the car dealership to replace them, well, then you can complain about my car being nicer than yours.

If you had a car like Rosemary's or Bern's or Gwen's or Crabs' or Jess', then you'd have the right to complain. And if any of them complain about me calling my car a shitbox, good for them, because their cars are both shitboxes, too. Some slightly more than mine, some slightly less than mine.

If we started a Shitbox Car Club, I'm pretty sure you would be unanimously denied entrance. In fact, we'd probably get a restraining order against you so you couldn't come within 500 yards of our clubhouse.

In conclusion, go whine at Bethany or Garrett when (if) they complains about their car. They're possibly the only MassAcadian with better cars than you.

[caecilia.livejournal.com]

lol Beth and Garrett both have exactly the same car.

Hey my car may be 11 years old, but it's still nice! Well that's just cause my dad is really anal about our cars. ;)

[diznienerd.livejournal.com]

no we don't...his is standard and mine is automatic...his is 4 door with hatchback and mine is 2 door with hatchback...and mine is a much better color...and i think we have different audio systems

[tawmiz.livejournal.com]

um yes, my uncle did give me my car. thanks for the blow by blow description of it cuz umm i needed it? so the 73000 miles it had on it when i got it never actually happened? and you didnt pay a cent for your car either. and your parents pay for your gas. you told me your car cost $8000. well my uncle told me my car was worth between 3500 and 4000.

yes i know i have a nice car. i love my car. and i would never call it a shitbox and i have no desire to be in your club. i dont see where you get off calling your car a shitbox if you think mine is so great and yours is valued at twice that.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

My point was the someone in my immediate family had to pay for my car. It didn't get handed to me because my uncle owns a car dealership.

Actually, I'm not sure where either of those points are relevent, beyond making it a point that no shit your car cost less than mine, no one paid for it beyond your uncle buying it from wherever so that he could sell it (as far as I know).

My not paying for gas is in no way relevent to this conversation. Try to stay on topic, mm? Oh, and there's a large difference between a car costing something, and us spending X amount to get everything that was broken fixed. You might want to check out the difference and think about it for a bit.

Your uncle works with cars, I do not. So I will bow to his superior knowledge. But could you do me a favor? Ask him what a dinged up, etc etc 95 Honda Accord would cost. Then compare it to your 3500-4000. Oh, and relay the number back to me so I can figure out if my parents were overcharged. :-) And I wasn't aware of your car being preowned. I can't say that you've ever mentioned that part before.

See, this last paragraph is where I'm confused... If you "know [you] have a nice car", then why would you be telling me it's not as good as mine? I would think that would automatically put it classified in the Shitbox category. Or am I wrong?

Anyway. If my car is so much better than yours ("your car is nicer than all the cars in my family" in case you forgot), I will gladly trade you for it. I'd like to be able to drive to school without worrying that my brakes are going to fail. :-)

[crazyasitsounds.livejournal.com]

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

You can join Bern and Crabs in the "We don't even have cars!" club!!

I can't say I was looking for sympathy, either. It started with me marveling at the ability of my car to attract other cars into very very very SO NOT SAFE proximity. And now it's me defending my right to call my car a shitbox. :-)

And ewwwwwww having to drive people around sucks. :-(

I will pass those well-wishes on to my car. :-)

[crazyasitsounds.livejournal.com]

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Shush! I keep forgetting you're not quix0te anymore. :-P

[crazyasitsounds.livejournal.com]

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Well... I wasn't sure... But I didn't want to admit that... So I just kinda fudged it and hoped no one would notice.

Note to Self: Never use real names when fudging things

:-P

[musicalpeep.livejournal.com]

"all the rest of us" have cars nicer than Nire's.

[diznienerd.livejournal.com]

as the owner...ok well the primary oporater...of a 2002 Ford Focus with 6 disk cd changer which i didn 't have to pay a cent for and which is exactly what i said i wanted for as long as i remember...i'm going to decline nire's invite to join this comment "war" and just keep my mouth shut as to what is a "shitbox" and what isn't

[angelsholdher.livejournal.com]

umm... actually mine's not nicer than hers, but hers isn't perfect either, so yay. *tries to be diplomatic and fails*

[musicalpeep.livejournal.com]

You're right. But I'm talking about the majority, and my point was that Nire definitely does not have an exceptionally nice car. :)

[angelsholdher.livejournal.com]

I agree, but I'm not taking any sides, because fighting over who has the shittiest car is rather, what's the word that best describes it? Oh, yes. Lame. :-D Yet somewhat humorous...

[whats-goin-anh.livejournal.com]

I'm curious to know what car you have, Nire. =]

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

A.... 95 Honda Accord?

It would be a nice car... if everything anything worked. :-)

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Oh, and if it wasn't so damned dinged up. :-D

[iheartnadgwad.livejournal.com]

i think i win the crappiest car award. i dont wanna hear any of you complaining. i have a crappy 91 hyndai stickshift no radio im scared of the heat i barely trust the brakes and for a bit i needed four new tires. the driver side door doesnt shut right and theres dents all over it. there's a leak in the ceiling before my uncle fixed it there was a hole in the trunk. i dont wanna hear about you crappy cars and how everyone has a better car than you i frankly dont care. so stop your whining unless you get a car that looks exactly like mine. then see how it feels.

[crazyasitsounds.livejournal.com]

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Your dad can join it, too!

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

That definitely wins. Come join our Shitbox club!!

[iheartnadgwad.livejournal.com]

nire my car is the shitbox club. i dont know who else deserves to be in it but im pretty sure you're car doesnt. when i got mine i was scared to be in it. i thought the tires were gonna blow out and there were exhaust problems and it was awful. and i couldnt drive it. from what i know about your car its been hit a couple times. mine looks like an effing bus ran it over and then laughed at it while it died. i really dont need to hear about shitbox cars when mine is as shitty as you can get.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

When they fix my brakes so that they work well 100% of the time and my windsheild wipers so I can see beyond the streaks when it's raining among other things, then I will remove my car from the Shitbox Club and enroll it into the Banged Up Muthafucka Club. And since your car is undoubtedly the most POS car of the MassAcadian flock, I will hand of the reigns to you.

Until then, perhaps you should consider that appearence isn't the only thing that makes a car a shitbox.

And if you don't neet to hear about shitbox cars, sweetie, you can stop reading. :-) It's not like I've taped you down in your seat and am holding your eyelids open with toothpicks and forcing you to read.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'd like to mention that I never once complained that everyone had a better car than me. I fully acknowledge that a large portion of MassAcademy people have worse cars.

And I call their cars shitboxes, too. Cuz, just like mine, they. They just happen to be in a later stage of Shitboxhood.

I merely denied that Tom's car is shittier than mine. Or that his mum's is. And I provided examples of people with worse-than-his-but-better-than-mine cars (which would be Rosemary and maybe Bern and Crabs, but they might tie with me, I dunno), worse-than-both-of-ours cars (yours and Gwen's cars totally take the cake on that one), and better-than-his cars.

91 black mitsubishi eclipse GS with 170,500 miles on it or so... Paint peeling off in the NC sun, looks like shit, lived in San Diego, OK City, and Pensacola before returning here. Don't trust the breaks, windows don't roll down, radio only works 50% of the time. Has a headlight hanging out on a wire from where I ran off the road during a freezing rainstorm. Paid like 250 bucks for it from an aunt.

Damn, you people who drive stick-shifts... Crazy!!

Okay, yeah, I'm just jealous cuz I don't know how. :-P

LJ Comment Wizard Dude did his magic!

[vicki-thecute.livejournal.com]

Wow, I came here planning to just post a random "I love you Nire!!!!" just for the hell of it....but I just have to say that I owned a 1995 Accord too, once upon a time...course, mine was new when I got it....I sold it about 3 years ago for about 5K...but it had quite a lot of damage from various accident.

But anyway - I love you Nire!!!!

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Hahaha it must be something about Accords then. :-P

I love you too!!

[amarelli44.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about your car! My blue beast of an oldsmobile has been hit a few times...or have I hit other cars?? hmmm anyways... Have you seen the movie "Waking Life?" If not, you need to come over and watch it, or else face my wrath....muahahahaha...have a good afternoon :)

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't seen it. What's it about?

[amarelli44.livejournal.com]

Its about this guy who keeps thinking that he's waking up from sleep, but it keeps being another dream...its really good, ultimately asking if you're sleepwalking through your life or wake walking through your dreams.
It's characters talk about different theories on life, from shrinking evolution, human drives, holy moments, gnosticism...its really really good. Ethan Hawk and Mr. Pink from resevoir dogs (what's his real name?) are in it. It's live action characters, but they almost seem to have a gel over them to make it look like a water color reality. It's trippy, but really, really cool. wow, i wrote a lot

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Ooooo that sounds really good!

Mr. Pink was Steve Buscemi, I believe. :-)

[amarelli44.livejournal.com]

well, i have the rest of the week off...what are you doing wednesday night?

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Absolutely nothing beyond dreading going back to school. ;-)
