Pop the Cork! It's Champagne!

Surprise surprise! No car for M, at least not today. I came home to her sulking in her room, eager to inform me of today’s tragedies.

The “custom” golf that she was supposed to get got towed away today as the previous owner had a lien on it. I mean, seriously. Could I even make this up? It is just one disaster after another. So the mechanic that arranged the deal in the first place has promised her a different golf. The only issue is that this one is in much worse condition than the original one she was supposed to get. And, it’s champagne coloured. That is where I draw the line. Hell, it can barely run, but if it is CHAMPAGNE, cheque please.

This car needs EVERYTHING. They are completely stripping the car she catapulted into the Benz and putting it everything into the champagne-shell of a car. Good news though, folks – this thing is an automatic! Actually, it’s only partly good news because I’m sure I would get a lot of laughs out of her driving a standard into the ground. I wonder how many times she’d stall it going to work every day? 13?

Anyway, apparently she will get the car tomorrow. I don’t understand how they can do that much work in one day but we shall see.
