@#!#$ Car

So, I have a 1997 Honda Accord and for the most part its been a great car. Lots of power good ride. Was thinking this year of buying a new one but decided to wait a bit and get one for next summer, you know, to save some cash.

Well, brilliant frigging idea...over the past week I've done brakes, AC repair, tie rod, ball joint, tires and to top it off I'm the proud owner of a new alternator! $3,500!!!! So, I guess the body of the car is 1997 but it has all 2006 parts. On the plus side, the car drives great. The body is still in great condition, no rust. Guess I'll have to put off buying a new one until next year.
