Bad luck car week

Spring Break!!
i am so excited.

allow me to reminisce for a moment.

2 years ago for spring break, my friends and i had a huge plan to go to st george (yes very original)

so we piled in the car and left on our merry way. little did we know, we would not get past main street, before this happened:

(a car tried to pass traffic and we t-boned them)

so we were stranded and called for someone to help. alas, on the way here...

a fender bender. what a sacrifice.

later that night, my roommate came to pick me up from my friend's house. but...



her doors suddenly became jammed while the car was still running... both of us outside the car. (don't worry we found some guys who happened to know how to break in...)

so here i am trying to figure out what to do for spring break. but oh, did i mention i can't go anywhere because my car is broken?

yep. first of all, the battery is dead dead. not only is it dead, but the firefighters had to come over to pry it out of the back seat. the back seat. yes that is where it is stored in my car.



then i met bill. he is very kind and gave me a ride to buy a new battery. on the way, my battery burned a hole through his car's carpet. oops...

when the battery was fixed, i realized more was wrong with my car. such as i couldn't turn the steering wheel. so my friend's dad (who is amazing) came and saved my car.

meanwhile, alyssa and i made a song about my car, which is a pontiac bonneville. it went something like this:

"my bonnie lies dead in the parking lot,
my bonnie lies dead in the street,
my bonnie lies dead in the parking lot,
so please bring back my bonnie to me"

yes it did have about 7 verses at the time.

(our reaction at this point)

so eventually i get home. my car is fixed. my other friend, i like to call her kamandra, and i went for a drive. so as we are at an intersection, i decide to tell her of this curse i've had lately and then...

yep you guessed it, her car died in the middle of the intersection.

this was my spring break 2 years ago.

i am a survivor of a major car curse.

wish me luck this year!
