Patience is learned and hammered in // When you wait at a bus stop zone

I HAVE TO GET A CAR. I said I wouldn't, that I'd be fine taking the bus but I'm wasting an hour+ every day on it when I live about a 10 minute drive away from work, if that. HOW LAME IS THAT?! And right now the buses keep waiting around in the transit station for seemingly no reason because the drivers feel no need to inform their passengers that the buses are late or whatever. Fuck off, transit system. Between the un-informative drivers and the other passengers who seem to think bathing and/or laundry are OPTIONAL things I'm going to snap.

Give me your car buying experiences, please. What kind do you have? What lemons have you had? What have you heard about good/bad cars? What are good ones on gas? I don't have far to travel (see above) and I won't do much aside from driving back and forth to work so I'd like something that isn't going to guzzle gas and that's small, compact, has AC, preferably a CD player, etc. Nothing fancy, but something still fun.

On another note: this is Edward Cullen's theme song in relation to Bella in the first two Twilight books, especially in light of the leaked Midnight Sun chapters, y/y?

Ashlee Simpson - Little Miss Obsessive

Am I the reason why you tossed and turned last night?
Everything's such a blur, it didn't come out right.
All of the sudden it's cold and we're falling apart.
No this can't be, please don't leave me alone in the dark.

And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it.
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it.
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, I'm not desperate.
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it.

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine) [x2]

I've never been a fan of long good-byes.
I'm at the finish line and you're just way too far behind.
In the morning I got in a fight with myself, I got the bruises to prove it.
Then I swallowed your words and spit them right back out.

And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it.
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it.
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, Aim not desperate.
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it.
No!

It's like a fairy tale without a happy ending (happy ending)
But then again maybe we are just pretending.
Why does it have to be so unfair?
Tell me that you care.

And I guess we're really over, but come over, I'm not over it.
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it, oh.

Little miss, little miss, little miss, little miss obsessive. [x2]

Hm. I've owned 3 mustangs that I've loved. I now own a VW bug '07 with sunroof, power locks/windows, alarm system. I love it b/c its small but has a lot of headroom and seat room. I get about 27 in town (if there are not a lot of stop lights) and 35 on the highway. I love my car :D I would have gotten a new mustang, but it can be a gas guzzler :/

well I drive an SUV, so that's of no use to you...but we bought our last 2 cars certified pre-owned, which is great cos they're usually ones that have been leased & have low miles, and you get the remainder of the original warranty, plus sometimes even more of a warranty

So here's my car buying experience: I didn't buy my car, nor do I pay the insurance on it. My parents made an agreement with me that as long as I'm paying tuition for school, they'll carry the burden of insurance for me until I'm able to find a steady enough job that I can pay the payments myself.

OKAY! So I have a 2003 Chevy Malibu(named him Jayne :X). And aside from my AC button needing fixing so that it'll keep the flow of air flowing throughout my car, it's a rather decent car. I've had little to no problems with it. *knock on wood* It runs nicely, gets good gas mileage. THAT'S A BIG THING! You want a car that gets GOOD GAS MILEAGE, which in your post you clearly know not to get a gas guzzler.

Also, just in case you own an iPod, you might wanna see if you can find a car with the tape/cd combination. My Momma's Impala doesn't have a tape deck, and it makes my soul cry a little. LOL I dunno if there's another way to play an iPod without that nifty tape thinger, but yeah.
