Schizophrenic Car People




Say what you will. That we're being silly, fickle, wishy-washy, impulsive. That's okay, because you'd be WRONG. Dead wrong.


The problem was the CLOCK didn't really work on the other car and it was driving me crazy. How can I be expected to drive safely when one of the pixels is out on the digital clock reading? I had to stare at the thing endlessly, weaving in and out of traffic, just to determine if I was running late for preschool or not. I just could not live in that state. It was UNbearable.


So rather than get the $200 fix, we decided instead to buy a new car*. Whew! Much better. The clock in this car is analog, so I shouldn't have that messy pixel issue anymore. I didn't know how I was going to cope any longer.

*Just so you know, this car is WELL used. We recycle, after all. And in this car I won't go hurdling off the side of the road in a spinout, or spending my time underneath the car fitting on chains in the snow because I didn't have AWD. And that makes my husband feel very happy.

Not only the clock-that-you-absolutely-cannot-read, but that car had numerous other issues.

Some of which I take the time to list here:

Impossible to turn on the defrost or fan at night because, for whatever odd reason, the dash controls had no backlighting.

Forget transporting the dry cleaning behind the driver side... that hook was ripped clear out of the ceiling.

R.I.P. White Mercedes... although I do have to give it props for the rear seat floor lighting. That was kinda cool.

You get clothes dry cleaned?? Wow! A missing hook is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! I'm surprised that alone didn't send you right back to the dealership for a trade!
