A little rant about my car, again...

Earlier this week my car was kinda misbehaving. It was sluggish when starting.
On Saturday after the scouting for food thing, Jarrett and I stopped at office max and the car would not start at all. It was a good bonding day for Jarrett and I. I gave him all the options available and he made the desisions on what to do. We called my Dad and he came to the rescue.
Then on Monday night when I went to leave work it would not start. So I called triple A and they sent a tow truck out to help me. It started up. I went home and then went to the scout meeting with the boys.
Tuesday morning I had to go get insurance on the car and go to the driver license place. The car was fine for all that. But I forgot something at home, (no, I lie, I had to pee) and when I got back out to the car it was off. Tried to start it and, nothing. So I had to call a cab and spend ten bucks to get to work a half hour late. Ugh! In the mean time Rick gets a battery for me and puts it in the car. (even though my dad told him it was the starter)
So car is ok till last night I wanted to get some milk. Won't start. By the time I get it started its too late to get milk. So hopefully I can get the car started when I leave here today.
Oh and I forgot, I have been leaking power stearing fluid and now I have no power stearing, at all. Really hard to turn without power stearing. So, now I need a power stearing pump, the hoses, and a starter.

I am not one of those people that beleive in omens or superstition. (I work for a mirror company and we break mirrors everyday...I can't be) With one exception...I strongly believe that if I have to defend my car three times or more than it kind of gives up. Stay with me here. Rick says that I need a new car and I tell him I love my car. Jarrett says that I need a better car and I tell him that there is no better car than one you own. Rick says again that I need a new car and that mine is a pile of crap. Again I defend my poor 16 year old baby. Bingo, car won't start...dah dah daaaaaaah Maybe its just me...
