Used and Abused
Lately alot been coming up about people and used cars. They get so mad and upset when something goes wrong.The car is old… things tend to go wrong. Even if its a new car things can happen. I dont know, it bugs me how upset people get. They thing that because they fix a few things here and there and everything is suppose to never fail or go wrong.I guess its something stupid to be aggrevated by. but it does. I find it funny my boyfriend listens to his car and any noise he hears he freaks out that something BAD is going to happen. Its funny.Well thats my last rant for now. I get to enjoy this lovley break being sick ! yuck!
Merry Christmas!
Car Parts/tools
Alright during this week were all expecting packages for one another.Everytime the door rings we fight to get to the door because we dont want others to see if it could be something for them.Well my brother answers the door and sees is a package for jegs he thinks at first its for him and picks it up and brings it in and my mother freaks out and says “im going to send it back now”. My brother is all like what? isnt this my package I think I ordered from here. and shes’s all like well now you know what your gift is. So hes all like i guess and he finally bugs he to open it early. It was a engine stand that has a crank on it to rotate the motor easy for you. He gets it all opened and ready to take out then my mother breaks his heart and says “oh no! it stays in here…put it next to the tree , you’ll have to wait till christmas day to get it.” and he puts it next to our tree. Next day my mom goes out and buys one of those really big bows and puts it on the engine stand to make a point. As long as I can remember there is always some sort of car part or car “toy” as we say under that tree.Every year my mother says there are no car parts this year….and yet there is. My brother this year got my dad a set of heads for his car that hes been wanting for the longest time but could never afford it. He’s been telling everyone to do like a collection for his christmas present so he could take the money and put it towards his heads…little does he knows Santa has already dropped them off…..

You are owned
This week I thought about how many cars people have owned. I think about this because I have a brother who has had alot. Plus my family has went through alot too. My brother has went through over 22 cars in his whole driving life. He was able to start driving at 16 and started with a 90 mustang in GREAT condition and he is now 25 and has had over 22 cars. None of these cars were new or anything all used cars that were fords of course.I find it so funny that hes had as many cars ashow old he is. It made me wonder if any one else has went through that many cars or even 10.
not a big post this time but this was what i would like to hear from people about. So please feel free to give me some feed back
That Feeling
While I was out of town Something happend that made me think I have to blog about it.
I had to go up north to help my grandparents out and as the days rolled closer to thanksgiving one by one everyone piled in the house. The day before my cousin got there. We all were talking and hes like I got Ashley a car(his daughter) He got a great deal on a used focus that only had like 4500 miles on it and paid less then 2 grand for it. GREAT deal. Outside looked great, inside was good for being used and it ran great. So we all asked does she know? As you may have guessed no she didn’t.
The car she had was a escort . The tires were so bad the metal band was showing. The hood never wanted to stay down. She didn’t even have a horn. The radio…yeah like that worked. Had brakes going in it left and right. The car had tons of issues but it was her first car ever. Her dad handed it down to her and she loved it despite the issues. She moved 3 hours away from her parents like 2 years ago for college and they knew she needed a new car. Plus with winter around the corner she needed it.
She got there around 12 at night not even knowing that the car in the other driveway was going to be hers. We all waited till morning and took her outside and told her to look for something different. It took her 15 mins of telling her look for something different before they narrowed it down to a certain driveway by telling her to look there. So she says “what? the car? is that what you all want me to look at? who brought it up?” her dad says “its yours” and she freaked out and couldn’t believe it. she crouched down in shock for 5 mins before she looked at the up close.
She took me for a drive in it and she just kept saying “my horn works ,my hood is down and stays down my radio works, holy crap i have cruise control! this is great” It made me think how a car can make a person so happy. Just the feeling a person get when getting a new car and on top of it , its used but it feels like it just rolled off the line to you. I just think its funny how some people only use bikes and your own two feet to get around and we cant live without a car.
That’s my thought for now.
Motor Head
Alright so every year I go to this thing called the Telegraph Cruise . I usually go with my brother and his best friend and his other friend and his girlfriend and my boyfriend. I of course am in my boyfriends car and we all just follow each other and just drive up and down telegraph for hours…sounds like a big waste of gas to most. But to me its fun and not a waste of gas even tho a lot of the times you are a sitting duck in some spots. You get to sit back and have a breeze in your face and the sounds of great cars around you and best of all the smell of Turbo Blue in the air with a mix of burning rubber. Its such a good time for me to look at all the cars and watch people do burnouts and just to hear the revving of the engines.
After much gas is gone out of the tank after driving for 3 hours…. we all meet up in one spot to go out to the curb and just watch cars go by and be the ones on the other end now to make others do burnouts. The moments like this are the best to me. I say if you enjoy looking at nice cars you should go to it next year and have a good time.
I figured it would be best to share a story about telegraph since in the summer we would go just about every weekend. We all got in our cars(keep in mind here my brother just got done redoing his motor ) and went to our usual spot.After hanging out here for a little while we were going to go back to a friends and just hang out and we all started to pull out. My brothers friend decided to get on it and my brother thought he should do it too… Well as my boyfriend gets behind my brother and my brother takes off….this is where things got bad. As my brother got on it you hear him shifting gears and all of a sudden you hear a loud BOOM and oil is all over the road..We see him pull over and knew nothing good was to come of what we were about to see. As we got into the parking lot i look at his car and there is nothing but a big pile of oil all over the ground. In the end we found out that a piston had went through the oil pan and other pistons had bent. After months of labor making over his motor and 3 grand later he had no car to drive untill recently when he finally got the money to piece things back together and got to drive her once before putting her up for the winter.
My Love
Alright, So this is my car. I am embarassed to say that I have only drove her 5 times since I got her.I have messed up and not took it upon myself to get my license.
When I was little i remember a Black 90′ Mustang with purple striping going down the car and filling in the ground effect. Shiny as it could ever be. All black inside…with the smell of berry scented car freshner. Sitting in the passenger seat listening to music with subs. I remember hearing the revving of the engine and hearing the power it had behind it, shifting of the gears….sounded beautiful. Looking next to me I see my mother driving the car.
All because of the memory of this car my mom use to have that i thought I would get one day….Best car ever.It has always been my dream to have a black 90 mustang with the purple in the ground effect and purple and white realistic flames coming up the hood…Ill get that one day…yeah one day. I know but if thats what you wanted why didn’t you buy a black one? 1. MONEY(its evil) 2. all cars i looked at that were black was a stick and this chick can’t drive a stick YET. I hope to keep this car forever. Shes my baby<3
Ready,Set, Go!
Alright, first time at this.
I chose to talk about cars because it’s always been apart of my life since I was a kid. My whole family has had something to do with cars. Everyone and I mean everyone in my family has worked for Fords . So this chick is a Ford girl all the way! I have always been around nice muscle have taken up a passion for them. To prove the whole family and cars thing our garage is basically a car shop. We have most things people wouldn’t in our garage. I bet you don’t know many people who have a hoist in their garage or two big tool boxes packed with tools or a rack in the side room filled with car parts. How about a metal lathe? or how about a big screen tv in there too? I’m thinking no. Most of my family works on cars so I get pulled in for an extra hand. Also being a graphic artist I get pulled in to make vinyl stickers for cars that we buy and restore or even project cars. Which then means we had to buy a vinyl cutter. Can you tell we like cars here? Back to the garage…. You’ll find a red ford coupe(forgot what year it is) a red 84 mustang, a falcon being striped out for restoring and then my car..my baby, a red and silver 90 mustang. =).
During the summer just about every weekend when money is there.. My brother and 3 of his friends all get in their nice cars and my boyfriend and I get in his car and go down to telegraph and go to a parking lot where people come together with their cars and show them off.
That’s just a little background of why I chose to have this topic.
