I don’t know if I’m just cursed or something but I’ve never had good luck with cars. Here’s a list of the various cars I’ve owned and how they did for me…
- 1986 Honda Accord - had more problems than I’ve got time to list. If you’ve heard me speak before, chances are you’ve heard about this car. First the transmission went out and eventually the engine died.
- Isuzu Truck - owned it for a short while and had only 90k miles on it when the engine cracked and needed to be replaced.
- Ford Contour - this is the only car that I’ve ever had that never had any major problems with it. Traded it for a Grand Prix and so far haven’t had any problems. Knock on wood…
- Chevy Prizm - this is the most recent car I owned that began having problems. The engine decided to start consuming oil like it was going out of style. My mechanic told it’s days were numbered and that it could die any day. That’s great news.
So we got rid of the Prizm and now we are in car shopping mode. I don’t know what it is about me but cars just look for ways to die on me. I keep telling my wife, let’s just sell all the cars and move somewhere we can use public transportation. She doesn’t like that plan…
