Now I am curious about the Hummer and hummer. I'd always write with a
capital H, since it's a brand name, if I weren't lazy when typing.
I'll try asking a legal male about this.
My Neon is a '97, great, reliable for a not very fancy/strong car. My
car has been through sand storms, tornadoes, hail and is still
standing, I recently reached 100K miles. Also I've crossed many
states on it, the longest drive was Oklahoma to NJ with all my stuff
in it, fun trip! I have "expected" little problems that any car with
100k miles could have. The unfortunate and unusual was the
transmission, damn.... expensive job, but I got it done. Just had my
O2 sensor replaced and I am expecting to increase the gas mileage,
which right now is great (around 30mpg). Yeah, I know about the head
gasket, I've looked into that and many people sued Chrysler bc they
didn't have a recall on that, even though it seems to be a common
problem in '96-'98 neons (if I remember the range correctly). At
least I've learned more about cars after this one (which is my first
car.
No I don't have a lot of money, someday....and I actually like
college, it's great to have student discounts :) You'll have fun
giong back to college, I am very involved with campus activities and
keep my grades high. That should help in the long run, when,
hopefully I'll become a CEO and have a DeLorean.
I don't usually yell in traffic, unless someone almost hits me for
nothing. I like Hummers, or hummers??? (what the heck) so I don't
think I'd quote your friend Erin :) But I must admit she has legit
reasons to make that joke.
