Crash Mobile
In March something amazing happened. Monika and Me after discussion on weather we needed to buy a new car or new used car decided to fix the one we had. Mind you the car was crashed up and refered to by me as crash mobile. Its a two door and only one door worked. For years people hopped in through the drivers side and stretched and pushed and fumbled over the gear shifter and break lever. The hood was held closed by 3 bungee cords, the right fender was crashed up. Then one day these guys that drive around looking for suckers found me and they claimed they could fix the dents and crashed areas with some putty mix and a little work. Well after a couple of months that started looking like shit and got worse and worse. When I first met Monika I was embarassed when she saw my car. I was embarassed if coworkers saw it. I mean i never fixed it because i felt that if it ran good (it got me to florida every summer, went to our nations capital in it. went to Niagrafalls and Toronto in it. The airconditioner worked until a couple of years ago. Any how now Crash Mobile is born again. I love it. both doors work and it looks great and thanks to my Mechanic also named Victor and related through my step mom, my dad's wifes brother in law. He's kept Crash mobile in tip top shape mechanically. He brought me and crash mobile to a body shop guy that is located right next to Shea Stadium and the new Citi Field in Queens. The last thing for now that needs to be fixed is the AC then it will be complete.

Wow! What a story.. Well my old car also had lots of car parts problem. Actually, its been a month now that I haven't used it. I need several gm truck parts - such as new mirrors, exhaust system and brakes, to fix and replaced. I have no budget for the repairs and replacement, for now. I just hope I can have extra budget for it soon. Anyways, hope your car fixed be completed soon. Good luck
