Maybe hate is too strong a word here, but I really dislike my car in the winter, and for several reasons. 1. Condensation abnormally forms on the inside of all my windows — and in copious amounts — forcing me to scrape the insides. 2. The lock mechanisms fail to turn in sub-zero temps, and De-Icer doesn’t always remedy the problem. 3. And finally, the volume knob is connected to the balance lever, so when I turn my radio up, the balance gets switched to the right side of the car. Very annoying.

But there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. My hefty tax return will let me pay off the rest of my computer, leaving my budget relatively open! I may not be able to afford my dream car, but I would have absolutely no problem with a more affordable alternative. A girl can dream, can’t she?
