Singing The Car Blues..Again

Owning a car can be the most exciting thing or the most frustrating thing.  I had my first car when I was nineteen and delighted in car ownership and over the years many automobiles have dotted my past.  Like everything else when something goes wrong with them, they go in stretches.  My latest car has given me some troubles. Before I got it, it had a pretty tough life.  It has had a new transmission put in it and the mileage is low.  Its latest trouble is the heater hose, a system on the firewall of the car.

To nurse it until my brother and father can look at it, I have had to fill up the reserve tank.  How fun is this?  Before work, I check and fill, after work I check or fill.  I know I haven't been the only one to do this dance and more than likely it won't be the last dance with it.

I need to get my licence renewed this year and yearly tags.  Getting a new "Mug" shot is always a hit and miss ordeal.  The picture could be good or bad, no matter how you boil it down, get your picture done in the morning, ITS ZOMBIE TIME.  If I get it done after work, I know I will look like I stepped out of a battle zone.  The best I guess, is to get it done in between time and hope the people behind the counter are in a good mood.  However, I am stuck another four years with a picture I don't like.  Driver licence pictures should be classified with a "Caution" look at your own risk without laughing or screaming.  Maybe that's why the Highway Patrol is always very quiet when looking it over at a traffic stop

Driving is a sign of independence and great responsibility that's true, along with this is the joys of dealing with all the unpleasantness that comes with it.  Auto repairs and bad driver licence pictures.
