No, I'm not talking about Molly or Bob. I think they were concerned when I came home and called out that one of you has to go. What I was looking at when I said that was the driveway. More specifically I was looking at the wagon. I'm at my frustration limit with it. First off I love the car, won't have spent what I did if I didn't but it seems to continually have something happening with it and with the world of euro cars even the most minimal problem takes three rocket scientist to fix and cost require visits to Fort Knox. I've always said that you shouldn't have a car that you can't afford to fix, I can afford it but I do need a little break between, well breaks!!! I have longer downtime between intervals it seems.
Giving me it's best end, almost telling me to kiss it's ass.
We have had some great years and a couple good trips together but this is also where the other problem is. I barely drive the car. I'm lucky if I put 15,000 km on a year. How can something break when it's sitting still?? It's just not fair, it's not fair. Yes, I'm jumping up and down in a mini temper tantrum. Seems to work for 5 year old. No change.
I'd been considering getting a slightly simpler car for a while now, my begging mechanic's to work on it, the slight problem of where I live, has worn thin. The last few road rides have been spent staring at every vehicle and saying to myself, would I drive that?? The problem is I'm a car snob. Basically cancel out all minivan right off the bat, come on! Then eliminate all s.u.v.'s both are semi practical but neither are fun to drive unless it happens to have BMW X5 on the trunk. See car snob. It also seems that I put my nose up at just about every car that was on the road and everyone that I seemed to like all came from the same side of the planet as my Audi which means that I probably would end up no farther ahead. After a week of creepy staring at cars and search the computer car porn sites I've narrowed down the search to a couple models. One in particular is at the top of the list. Nothing till I finally get it in my driveway. It will be 4 door, sits low, still fast and fun to drive, possibly semi rare but any mechanic will work on it.
So in the end nothing that I love is safe in my house if you don't pull your weight. Continually frustrate me and you'll be packing your bags, I don't care how cute you think you are. I just noticed Bob cleaned out his kitty litter. Molly on the other hand just groaned and went back to sleep on the couch.
Training front, it rained, I rode indoors, I stretched more, both were stupid, boring, annoying and hurt. Sun is out, I see more enjoyment tonight
