We are the kind of people who will drive the same cars until they finally shit.

My husband has been driving this gold colored 2007 Buick century since the week we started dating. Like ten years now. And it had some pretty high mileage when he bought it for 5k.

Well the head gasket blew and we decided it's not worth it to fix it. The damn thing died on the side of the expressway on Saturday morning as my husband attempted to drive it all the way back. Poor guy spent 5 hours on M59 waiting on the toe truck.

I've BEEN wanting a new (new to me) car (I want a truck) for a few years now but I wanted to get rid of my minivan for one.

So we are gonna just rent a car now until we find one to buy. He is driving his mothers car today until we get a rental. My mission today is junking the buick. I'm kinda sad about it, though.

And the water is shut off AGAIN because there is another leak in the main water line. So my pipes are probably going to freeze AGAIN.

It's always something lately. Lol.

Yeah Michigan winter must be like Ontario. Lots of salt on the road, variable weather extremes.

Def hard on the car. Cars last 1/2 as long than the West coast?

It's been a pretty rough winter so far.

Buy a Ford. I've had nothing but the best of luck with Fords.

I remember that was the choice car for the Limousine Industry.

Only it had a less glamorous name than a Mercedes or Cacillac...

...The Towne Car.

Here She is in all 'er glory...

In my limo days I referred to 'er as 'The Princess'.

LOL! @The Prowler is jealous! :D

Being a chauffeur would be degrading, @Joe.

I am just pointing out that you are posting a picture of a car, even giving the car a name, and you have never even driven the car.

You have weird fantasies, @Joe.

Actually yer right @The Prowler.

It is a bit of a drudgerous job.

The only time I enjoyed it was when I got $100 USD in 1 tip.

Or driving pretty women.

Nothin' better than drivig a hot looking woman in a car when yer dressed up to the nines, eh?

I fucken drove so much/so amny miles that I don't wanna drive commercially for a livin anymore. May as well fly a Lear Jet if a person's gonna waste their lives driving people around.

Don't know about you Prowler, but what's on my bucket list is ta fly a plane recreationally, one of those flying cars

Ferget the Lamborghin, I'd rather own one a these tings:




Things our dads couldn't live ta see, eh?

...At least them wuz shore happy memories @The Prowler!

@Joe You do not seem to understand that by being a limo driver, you were perpetuating and supporting classism.

Leftists do a lor of big talking against the elite, and then take demeaning jobs like being a limo driver to drive their sorry asses around town.

Fuckin' hypocrites.

I would tell those cocksuckers to rent a car and do their own driving, but there is always someone willing to sign-up to be a slave.

...yer German, is that right @The Prowler?

Not a Limo song, but it's my favorite German song:




...I'd never play it when anyone was in the car, but sometimes when I was comin back from a job with the wifi stereo on

...you were the type a client who'd illegally drink beer in the back and play loud music on the wifi, eh @The Prowler?

That's OK, I let them all do it altho it was against the Law, eh?

It made 'em happy and the tips were bigger.
