The "advantages" of owning a car

yet another reason to never grow up.

Whenever Easter, Halloween, or my birthday come around, i get slightly depressed. no more Easter egg hunts, trick-or-treating, or birthday parties with incredibly corny party games. whenever i ask someone what the upside of getting older is, they always say, "driving. driving means freedom. yeah!"  hmmm.... on second thought i may have over dramatized they're response, but nonetheless, everyone has been touting the whole "buy a car" thing to death, and i have something to say about it.

My top  ten eleven reasons not to own a car

1:  oh look my statement just came in the mail!   what the? this can't be right...overpriced insurance
2:who left that nail in the road?....BAM!  *screeeech* ......tires
3: um excuse me? carlovers inc.?  is this black stuff supposed to be coming out of my car?...oil change
4:  and we have zero financing for up to six months, and if you buy now we'll throw in this air freshener....  the process of selecting a car that isn't a lemon
 5:oh look, your engine just blew!.... repairs  
6: and youve managed to lock your keys inside.....roadside assistance
7: tch, and on the first day of that new job too.....
8: oops! out of gas........tow truck
9:what's this bozo doing?! this isn't the turn la-*HONK HONK* geez!.....other idiot drivers
10: [heading south]  the constant pressure/guilt to pick up hitchhikers
11: (since 7 was an add on)  and finally, [bee boo bee boo bee boo wheeeeeeoooh wheeeeooh] uh-oh......... not understanding the meaning of a full stop.

but hey, at least you can go to the movies! -oh wait, you're broke.

  1. thankyou for a glimpse into being a teenager means.As we age we forget the trials and turmoils of what it is to survive youth.Yet the older the adult population does get,the more we strive to regain our youth.O' if only we remembered what the reality of youth real is,we would never think of returning to it.
