Some Slightly Good News

So, I have some good news. Some of you may have heard, but I figure I'd give everyone the heads up. I bought a car last Saturday! (not this Saturday---I was at Staff Training---and I'm not that good at multi-tasking). I keep forgetting I bought a car. Weird feeling. Anyway, it's an '82 Honda Civic four-door hatchback, in mint condition (as in rusting to death/"interesting" paint job/needs work before it will go over 80 kph without being dangerous.) The best part is it was only $50, so I'll have some money left over to fix it! My dad and I will have a grand adventure I'm sure as we try to fix it this winter. It's standard, so I had tons of fun killing the clutch and grinding gears and all that on Sat/Sunday. It's not licensed anymore, so I won't drive it until after Christmas, I'm thinking. But nonetheless, I'm excited! "Rusty" and I will have many fun times together, and I know this, because any car with as much character as Rusty will definitely break down a time or two. Hope you guys are having fun wherever you may be, and good luck in your endeavors! (Big word of the day)

we had a car named Rusty once... Jon and I once made up a song about him when it driving. and then there was this one time when my dad let me stear Rusty, and the brake didnt brake, and i thought it was all my fault. when we finally sold it to some guys, they used it as their golf cart at their golf course. we heard later that it shut down while they were driving it and got in an accident...and that was the day Rusty died.

The End.
it's good that there's a car out there like yours tha can carry on the name Rusty.

You should get a much longer word of the day next time because then I wont know what your saying and you'll be totally impressive. oh and I wish that I had a car called old rusty but I don't think that I'd be able to figure out how to keep it running on my own so I most likely will never have an old rusty. :( I suppose I'll have to survive without one. Well maybe if I get married then I can get an Rusty because then hopefully he can fix it for me (and squish bugs for me too) I figure that's all a guy can really do for me that I can't do by myself already. Well I'm done now because I am.
