Things I do not care for, in no particular order

• Shoving my hand into my purse only to have a bristle from my roundbrush stab me right under my cuticle. • Multiple calls on my cell phone from sugary-sweet ambulance chasers. • Five pounds of holiday weight gain, yeesh. • Coming home to see a dude with multiple big garbage bags strapped to the roof of his not-too-shitty-looking van rooting in the dumpster. • Not being able to cook. • PMS.

This blog is about cars from now on, sorry.

I will never be able to afford a car this nice in Real Life. My rental car is an ice-purple PT Crusier convertible.
