The Boat
Jul 1st
So the husband aquired this car from some old lady. When I say aquired I mean he did work for trade. He was obsessed with getting this car no matter what I said to him. I explained we need money not another vehicle.
-
First off our other car needs inspected. There is shit wrong with it. We had been saving to have it fixed. We kind of need this vehicle to get us to our vacation desitnation this summer.
-
Second another car means more insurance. He assures me it would only be $20 more a month. When you were off work for medical reasons for awhile that “only” doesn’t sit well with me as we are still trying to catch up. It of coarse was not $20 more a month, it was more like $40 more. At the point when I found out it was too late. He had already aquired this old POS and added it onto insurance. I get the email…. Your next premium will be “x” amount of dollars with the new add on. WTF.

It’s a 1980 something Lincoln. It’s a living room on wheels. I feel like an old lady in it.
-
So he promises not to alter this vehicle. He was over that shit. I haven’t allowed him to alter our other car. Don’t do ANYTHING to it thats not required to keep it running. We have had it for 3 years without him doing any damage. Which is more than I can say for any of our past vehicles. If you know him, you know what I am talking about. If only I had pictures back then.
-
Our first car a station wagon. It was brown when we got it, primer black when we released it.
-
Every vehicle we had was altered in some way. I believe every car had a kick ass sterio with speakers and an amp. Probably has something to do with why I get ringing in my ears.
-
So he has had the car for about a month now. Let’s see the list of alterations that aren’t mechanical required to keep it running.
- he took the rims off.
- he put a cd player in it in place of the tape deck.
- he put a hole in the back deck and added speakers and an amp to the trunk.
- he put the rims back on.
- he added a sticker to the back window, he hates stickers on cars.
- he took the rims off.
- he added a liscense plate frame with flames around it.
- he put the rims back on.
- he took the rims off.
- he painted the wheel wells.
- he did some sort of alteration to the exaust that included pvc pipe and moving shit under the hood.

Next time I post about the car how much you wanna bet it will be a different color.
