I've Got the Catalytic Converter Blues


I'm going to get Dave-o-licious to write me a song 'cause I gots the blues. the Catalytic Converter Blues.

Lets just recap the situation.
  • Three years ago my little red bundle of joy got smashed to smithereens on a cold wet snowy night.
  • This was followed by my current ownership of my piece of shit 2003 Saturn.
  • I hate this car
  • I have always hated this car. I signed the paperwork knowing I hated this car. Lesson learned.
  • It started smelling like shit the week after I bought it
  • We got rid of the smell, but still. HELLO!!!!!!!!!
  • Fast foward to 2007:
    • one tire blow out on the freeway: tow, tire replacement = $200
    • oil change= $50
    • car won't go faster than 45 miles per hour, what can it be?
    • Lanhart Auto visit
    • apparently I was working the car to hard in an attempt to make it go past 46 miles an hour =$300 sensor replacement
    • front rotars shot =$299
    • car still won't go past 45 miles per hour
    • Kennedy Transmission visit
    • Enterprise Rental = $39.99 per day
    • test drive, computer thingy test $60
    • "we have good news and we have bad news" Does anyone really want to hear these words? NOT I!
    • Apparently I have a Catalytic Converter problem. I also just missed the fucking Saturn warrenty =$1250
  • Total 2007 car expense. Someone give me a fucking drum roll
$2,198

Time for a brand new car?

The love is gone in my relationship with my Saturn too. She's a bitch (my Saturn).

Why is anonymous calling you Tina? Anyway, I can relate regarding car hell. I have had no problems with my current Toyota in the 3 years that I have owned it. Just change the oil and go. It's too small for anyone over 4 feet to ride in the back seat. But, it has traveled far and wide with nary a funny noise nor a shimmy.

I hate him. But I love him.
What can a girl do.
