I'm officially going to start the "I Hate Volvos" fan club. Or anti-fan club. Alinna and I will be co-presidents... we each spent $1k on our cars this month. Not only is maintenance expensive, but all these little things in/on my car keep breaking... some rubber stuff falls out here, a piece of plastic falls on my head there, door hinge breaks off, keyless entry stops working (I didn't even bother fixing that when it broke a while ago - that would have been another couple hundred of dollars, and I already had to pay to fix it once. forget it, I know how to use a key to lock and unlock my door)... those things add up too! My car isn't THAT old - 1997...come on, make quality cars, please! Plus gas is getting hecka expensive... $2.20 for a gallon of tank? And my volvo only gets like 17-18 mpg - it's even worse since my commute to work now is all stop and go and local.

Rant over. I just hate how all my hard-earned work has to keep going to fixing my retarded car. And to think I didn't even have them fix everything that's wrong with it. Ugh.
