TODAY I JUST WANT TO VENT BECAUSE I MISS MY CAR.
I don't remember if any of you remember my mentioning this, but... a while ago, near the beginning of the summer, my uncle Kris was borrowing my car a lot. Since the vast majority of the time I was not planning on using it whenever he asked, I let him, whatever. On one of those times he hit a deer! And smashed up my headlights and destroyed the brakes and maybe some other stuff idek! So my car has been unusable.
Kris and my other uncle Darrin have agreed to fix it themselves, except they're taking an awfully long time seeing as it has been a few months now, and most of those few months have been spent not even trying to fix it and going "Yeah we're going to fix that eventually." As a procrastinator myself I can understand this feeling deep in my kokoro, but I can't help but feel a bit frustrated when I realize I let him borrow my car almost every day, without even requiring that he fill the tank before returning it (though tbf he was using it more than me at that time so at least 3/4 of the time he must have been paying for gas) and then he runs into a deer and wrecks it and then neglects to do anything about it for months. THIS WAS RIGHT BEFORE I STARTED WORK, BTW, so for my entire summer job I needed to rely on my mom/brother for transportation. And originally they were asking me to foot the bill for the repair costs until I explained that I was pretty fucking broke at the time, and it was negotiated that maybe Kris should do that since it was Kris who caused the car to need repairs in the first place (though he's not even paying for it; his mom/my grandmother agreed to pay for the replacement parts). But it seems they're still trying to rack up things that are wrong with it, pointing out things that existed before the car crashed into any animals, suggesting I get a loan from my father to pay for it or even to scrap my car altogether, which... I would not like to do! I love my car! It has had problems, but the car ran, and I found it generally did well when it wasn't colliding with deer!
Also in trying to move my car over to Darrin's garage the other day (finally), Kris managed to completely shatter the window on the driver's side. WHOOPS! MORE THINGS TO FIX NOW! fffffffffffff
I'm really glad I'm not living on my own in Marquette for this, at least; dealing with no transportation for even a week or two back then was hell, and this has been months, so I'm glad to at least have my brother's car to borrow and my Mom to fetch rides from etc. etc. etc. 9_9
Really there is no point to this story except I do not care about anything anymore except that I want my fucking car back. I do not care about anything else that you have to say about my car except returning my car to how it was before. If it turns out that WHOOPS THIS CAR IS JUNK NOW LOL, BETTER BUY A NEW ONE, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT and it takes them this long to figure that out, I will be so pissed I don't even. I am pretty zen about bad things happening, and disinclined to point blame at people and DEMAND REPARATIONS OMG, but this is getting taxing. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS!!!!!
