cars are fun to fix

God is great and cars break. My history with cars isn’t great but hey what fun would life be without cars and the fact that they break. Today is Friday and my wife and I currently have 2 cars…both of which probably will be living with God soon but hopefully not until we have replaced them. I must though, say that God has blessed me with vehicles, and they might not have been Bentleys, but they were God-sent and that makes them special. My 1997 Nissan was a gift from God because the car I had in 2004 was destroyed by Hurricane Frances and someone just gave me that car. I just put, well I didn’t, put a new rotor and new brake pads on the front of the car. It currently has working air condition but needs new rear brakes as well as a new radiator. My wife’s car which is worse has 2 windows that don’t work and as of today, it needs a new tire as well as the alignment is shot and it needs new brakes both in the front and back. Her car is 1997 Lumina and its air condition is shot and it has fewer miles than mine. Cars are objects and they break and God wouldn’t have me lose my serenity over it. Besides I am sure that the 3 people who read this blog can understand the fact that cars break and that they break at the most inconvenient time. But of course God’s time is never inconvenient. What I guess makes it inconvenient for me is not the fact that cars break because I have come to accept that years ago, what makes it inconvenient for me is that gas costs $9,786.73 a gallon…of course that is a “jamesim” (see GBH for explanation of term). I guess what I really want to say is…it would be cool to have those hover boards that they had in Back to the Future II which took place in 2015 which is only 9 years away and it seems we are no way near what they predicted the future to look in that movie which really bums me out. To quote C. Thomas Howell in the movie Red Dawn…”Wolverine”
