it's just dirty with 'em now!

this was the truck i was going to buy.

my big plan was to sell my little car and sell my beloved beloved izusu amigo (beautifulindigoblue baby she is) and buy this truck to take down to mexico for my reseach. i wanted something that could haul my gear, pull my boat and then i could use it around gran's for hauling and stuff. i'm always hesitant to purchase a truck because i'm very conscious of gas mileage and making as little impact on the environment as possible.

i've had my isuzu for about 8 years and i was completely flush in it and i've driven it on research trips so many times and it was perfect for the load i carried and getting myself around and i looked fucking hot in it and i've had really great sex in it...oh...was that out loud? but the first year i was in grad school it just totally started to fall apart. first just the fuel pump, then the brakes, the clutch. all do-able. THEN the computer and the gaaaawwwwwdamn headgasket. yes i know i should have parted the damn thing out right then but i loved it so much and hindsight is 20/20 so don't get all preachy with me mofo...

anyway....it costs me about $4000 to rent a van from the university and i thought why not buy a truck i can use in mexico and use that money for other research supplies. and i went through every website reading all the consumer reports on all the different sized trucks and thinking about what i wanted and how much i could get for my car and how much i could afford and on and on and on....

i even told my little brother if he could get his act together and get insurance and fix my truck up i would GIVE it to him...(nother story...)

but after going through my finances and all the new bills and shit that are popping up and the fact that the isuzu DID NOT PASS $%(*&!#$ smog and i my funding runs out in june it didn't seem like such a good idea to buy a new truck and then not be able to make payments after the first four months...

so sadly i made the adult decision to not put myself furtherfurtherfurther into debt and i was really ok with that decision.

until i started seeing the FUCKING THINGS EVERYWHERE! WTF??!!!

it's like they're rubbing it in my face. neeeener neeeener! you're poor and you would look totally hot in this truck and YOUUUUUUUUUUUUCANNNNTTTTTHAVEITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

the other day i was telling this to gran and she said maybe you're just noticing them more now. um, i don't think so. besides the fact that i count hummers and trucks on the freeway and keep track of how many of those asswipes only have one passenger and no fucking cargo i KNOW they have not been everywhere.

so i say to her, no i've been looking everywhere

and, have you seen the professional? jean reno and natalie portman? yeah, you know the scene where gary oldman says "kill everyone" and one of his henchmen starts to protest and gary fucking loses it and says everrrrrrrrrrrrryooooooooonnnnnnnneeeeeeeee!!!!!

so gran says "everywhere?"

YEAH, i pulled a gary on my gran. i think she's afraid to be in the same room with me now...
