a friend of reed's family gave us our honda, which we adore and his now a couple years later, his father is giving us his old car. i cant believe how nice they are. he could sell it for some cash, but is just going to give it away.

are families normally like this?


its a 91 mitsubishi montero in very good condition. he's anal baout upkeep, so we are getting a nice free car. i almost said no, but reed thinks its totally ok to do this. do people really do this?

it looks like this one, but is a brick red


tell me your good fortunes.

No, families usually kick you when you're down. I'm usually not that cynical...but you know...Actually, immediate family is usually very helpful like this. At least my parents are...and I am with my siblings.

No good fortunes to speak of as of late. I got a phone call today saying I don't start my job until NEXT thursday instead of this one. Well, there go 40 productive hours where I COULD HAVE been making money. [poor]

My brother got a loan to get his dream car (an old beemer) and gave me his old 87 mazda 323 because my car (a old 77 carolla) was a complete bomb with major rust on the bonnet. yay for generous familias. yopu evil petrol guzzline SUV owner, geek ;-) (free is good though i wouldn' tknock a freebie back)

your brother roolZ. have you gotten the car yet? whats it like? are you in lurve with it?

Yup i've had it for a year now. Its a car thats so not me (a hatchback girly car with auto transmission when i prefer manual cars) but its free and its heaps more "luxurious" than my old car (lumbar support for the driver, central locking, more grunt it beeps if you shut the door with the lights on). I"m more into sports cars but i rarely drive anyway and i feel its totally sentient.

the other day the battery was flat, we got the racv (auto club) to charge it, drove it a bit but forgot to keep up driving it. i had to drive it a couple of days later and sure enough it wouldn't start, so i sat there and went "summon energy, come on car work" and sure enough it worked after several times of not starting. yay for jedi mind tricks and vulcan mind melds.

Its just gotten me and a friend to adelaide and back, its given me a few heart attacks though becuae after pulling into a petrol station it suddenly switched off but luckily didn't do it anymore.

its not my dream car but to me its mine and i believe it actually has personality. the poor thing sounded "throaty" as we were nearly home. so its getting a good rest and then next pay its getting a long deserved service and tune up. i'm really glad that my bro gave it to me. though i really do miss manually changing gears

my aunt gave my mom a car for christmas

i wish someone would give me a good car

my family does kick me when i'm down
both immediate and extended family

closest i ever got to being given a car was the ford tempo i bought off my sons grandparents for $500
the thing was a death trap
used to go off the road all the time
grazed a tree once
and hit a rock wall another time which was the last time i ever wanted to get behind the wheel of it

best fortune i get from my family is loans
they are difficult to acquire and i still owe money

off topic but this made me think of my nickname for my dad when i was in junior high. gutzilla. he laughed instead of spanking me tho, its what my family does. we make fun of each other til we just cant think anymore and laugh at and with each other until we cant breathe.

bro and i's fav thing lately ha been making each other laugh and laughing at each other as we laugh and say ow. heh.
