Cars, what a joke
It is amazing how expensive it can be to own a car these days. You have to pay through the nose to get gas because the Oil barons jack up the prices. You have to pay tons of dollars because the auto mechanics jack up their prices. You have to pay higher insurance premiums because of the popularity of fraud in the system makes the insurance companies nervous. I can’t seem to get a break. Either something breaks on the car, or something seems like it’s not working like it should. Why would Ford make these things so easy and affordable when all they are is a bucket of trouble. I don’t think that I have had one day since I got this car, as used as it was, from my father that I haven’t had some sort of problem with it. The gremlins inside cars should be shot. Why does something so essential have to be so expensive, greed can’t go that far can it? Are we really reduced to dollars and cents?
I take public transportation and it’s a bitch, esp. in winter, but I save so much money, and worry a lot less about everything. It’s true, cars are freakin’ pricey and draining and difficult! I’m lucky I live in a city where they aren’t essential.
