I kinda have to, as a result of my own stubbornness

Years ago my parents wanted me to get rid of all my old cars and offered to buy me a brand new car. I could have had a new car with 00000 miles given to me but I would have had to sell, crush, or junk the old ones.

Me and them got in a heated argument over it, they said a "young girl needs a dependable car" in my rage I said "i will prove the old one can be as reliable" and I stormed out.

A lot of repairs i have had to do, I didn't tell them and did them at a friend's place. I tell them every once in awhile "see, I was right and I am going to get a million miles out of these old cars".

Its been a challenge and has kept me on my toes but a slant six really helps because they are by nature pretty reliable.

I think of that argument everytime I am freezing my *** or roasting with no a/c but when I think of what I said, i refuse to give up. LOL

I must be more of a rebel than I think. Everything else they ever wanted me to do or not do, I listened. The car is that one thing I am not giving in.
