Your car is fine, don’t be car shamed. Ride that bitch till the wheels fall off. Me and my Camry with one hubcap stand with you and your Honda.

We should start a car club for beaters where we all drive out to a parking lot on Sunday mornings and show off everything that's wrong with our cars

Hahahahahha! Julie I just love your writing. When I read it it feels like a conversation I’m having with my actual best friend who also happens to be named Julie and I laugh my ass off. I feel you sister! I’m currently rolling around in a 2014 Honda, although she’s only got 154k on her, she’s been stolen, my kids sprayed sun screen on the hood, something leaks so it’s always damp and there may be mold on the passenger seatbelt. But she gets me where I need to go! Can’t wait to hear about all the stupid things you buy!!

so what you really need is a car air freshener that smells like this mystical candle

Good news just in. This post about the candle made me enough money to pay for the candle, and there's a possibility that it could even cover the oil change. Look forward to a paid post for every stupid thing I buy.

Yeah but is that brat driving the Mustang as fun and funky as you? F*%k no.

haha. Probably even more fun because she's not dragging around this existential dread. But definitely not as funky.

haha. It was me who put her finger in the peanut butter, but yeah that was so dumb. There was nothing to steal but a plate of fingered peanut butter.
