well bad news for the ol' comanche.  my radiator is done for, got some bad hoses, have some oil leaks.  all in all, i could fix it for $515.  at this point, i've just had my brakes done and two months later had to replace the leaky brake lines.  that's a good $600-$700 right there.  not to mention my $80 city sticker i bought the day my radiator blew.  oh yeah, and my $25 zone permit.  but who's counting?  sure, as the mechanic says, you can't buy a truck as good as this for $500 so i might as well replace the stuff right?  well if you notice my previous post about being HEXED!!  you'll understand that $515 doesn't appeal to a person who currently is a student and unemployed.  not to mention i have another $115 in license registration and ~$400 in insurance due in the next two months.  fuck this shit.

it's really difficult for me to let go of this truck though.  first, it's a 92' Jeep Comanche.  the last year they made the pickups and they're bad ass.  second, this is my first vehicle we're talking about.  i paid for it outright at 17 years old and it's been my baby ever since.  i've been good to it and it's been good to me.  i have serious emotional attachment to this vehicle.  i almost want to scrap it so that no one else can have it.  she needs someone who will treat her right, who can take care of her until her time is up.

serious. emotional. attachment!
