Well, I finally broke down, sick of the shit-headed transit system in
this town, and bought a car. Since my last car, a Jeep, was stolen a
couple of months ago, I bought this totally uncool station wagon with
hippie stickers on it and an anti-bush bumper sticker. It came with a
protection mandala, rofl. I figured nobody nobody nobody was gonna
steal this thing. So, that was Saturday.

Monday the police notified me that they found my Jeep.

Since they took their sweet time notifying me I owed three hundred
dollars in towing and storage fees, but I have already done that rant
and got the t-shirt.

What is amusing though is that they recovered it from about six blocks
from my house.  They broke one of the small windows, a sign, I am
told, that they were interested in it to sell or possibly chop it.
However, the car was very low on transmission fluid and the
transmission was sticking when the vehicle took a curve.

So as we reconstruct it, they broke in, got the car started, took the
curve to the right at the end of my block, took a left at the end of
the street, the transmission sticking both times, got about six blocks
away and ran out of gas. At which point they said screw it and left
the car there. Our vigilant police force got around to noticing it
four months later.  Another rant. The fun part is that after I put gas
and transmission fluid in it, it ran like a champ and is now back home
where it belongs.

Moral - poor maintenance sometimes works in your favor :)
