Worked Like A Charm!

...I was so excited about my news, that I had to write todays blog entry A.S.A.P!
I'm not sure if it was beginners luck, or if Craigs List is always this amazing...
But within 10 minutes of posting my ad, I sold my little green machine!
In fact, not only did I sell it, but I got what I wanted for it too!
Crazy how many people called within the hour I posted the ad, but even more remarkable was
how many people called throughout the day! Even after I removed the add. I guess a lot of people are looking to buy cheap used cars... And I for one, could not wait to get rid of just that!
So alas, my Chevy convertible is no more!!!
Yes, I had some fun times in that car... (I love driving along the beach in a convertible!)
However, I will not miss it. Especially in the rain!
Goodbye. Farewell. ...and thank you Craigs List!

You Know You're Ghetto When...

You know you're ghetto when you have to use electrical tape, to seal the gapping hole around the window on your car's convertible top...
Let's be honest, if you've read any of the other blog entries about my little green machine, then you'll understand that, though I'm grateful my car gets me from point A to point B safely...
It's not the worlds best car...
But last night, the final layer of frosting was added! I was driving home from a long night of rehearsal deep in the heart of the valley. I'm in the fast lane on the 101 South, headed back to my side of the hill, when I feel a slight chill in the air. Which is strange, because it was very warm in LA yesterday, and I didn't have the air conditioning on...
I'm looking around my car to see where the cool sting of air might be coming from...
"Did I leave a window down?" ...and then I look up in my rearview mirror and notice it!
A huge hole where the fabric attaches to the back window on the bottom left side!
...Not wanting to throw ANYMORE money at this car... I decided to go down this morning a survey the damage.
The result: It's not good, but I don't think it's anything a little black electrical tape and a prayer can't handle...
Oh, how I long for the day when I can buy a brand spankin' new car!
