Is this the end?
It’s a brand new week!
This weekend…has been a weekend.
Once again, the KaNisa mobile has given out on me, this time for good.
On Friday, I had it towed to the local mechanic and had enterprise pick me up for a rental car. While I waited for them to do the diagnostic checks, I headed straight for the Honda dealership.
I test drove the coupe and I’m glad I did, I was trying to decide between that and the sedan, and I think I’m going with the sedan because I felt a bit claustrophobic in the coupe…
The sales person was pretty cool also. He was an older male from Kenya and was telling me what my name meant. He said I should visit his country sometime and that all I’d have to pay for was the plane ticket because I could stay with his peeps.
I was like ohhh… thanks…lol…
I do want to buy from him though so he can get his commission. Us Black people gotta stick together.
So while as I was leaving the dealership to head back home, I got a call from the mechanic…he basically said that the amount of money it would take to fix the car was probably more than the car was worth…and suggested that I tow it to the junkyard.
I was like…wow…what are the odds that a mechanic will tell you something like that?
I called my Dad to deliver the news. Thinking they were trying to put one over on me, he also called the shop and they told him the same thing.
So…the KaNisa mobile is decommissioned.
Now father says to find somewhere off my apartment property to leave the car until he can come get it (where the hail am I supposed to put it?!) In the meantime I’ll be driving a rental car around. I thought I would be in danger of him switching out the Mazda for another one of his lemons refurbished cars, but mother is trying to convince him to help me buy a car. The master plan is for him to buy the new car with cash and have me pay him back instead of paying a dealership or bank. They’re worried about me being able to pay since I haven’t been working for long and I’m still under the “last one hired first one fired” clause.
I have mixed feelings about this arrangement. So far, I’m completely independent from them, and this would make a new leash…
We’ll see…
Father says he’d be up soon to get the car…hopefully sooner rather than later. Wouldn’t that be fun if he came to get it while GAM was here…LAWD have mercy…he would have a heart attack if he knew GAM was staying with me for his spring break!
