My Problem with Wal-Mart

Haha. Well the only cool thing about Wal-Mart is the prices. I hate going to Wal-Mart, but when I have to be careful with my money, I am forced to go there. I have spent countless hours in other stores trying to decide what I should spend on an item, and then I end up going to Wal-Mart anyways and getting a cheaper price. If I was richer, I would totally just buy crap from expensive stores, but I'm just a kid, so it sucks. It's just sad how dirty the place is. I thought the old one was bad! When they built the Supercenter, I thought they would actually tile the floors. That's what bothers me the most in there: the floors. Every other supercenter I've been in has nice shiny floors, but they decided to cheap out in cortland (of course) and put those stupid concrete floors down. Anyways, I guess Wal-Mart is actually really cheap, but then I remember that they are basically taking over the role of God in our economy and I just cringe a little bit. I guess I don't really care, it's just nice to pretend I do.

The 700 Dollar Cavi

Cheap cars are fun. The simplicity of them is great to play with. Sunday night we bought a 700 dollar Cavi. Surprisingly, this little car is sweet. It is already on the road, which is nearly impossible to find a car that can do this for 700 dollars. One thing that is hilarious about this car is the hole in the catalytic converter. When you get into the throttle, the car sounds like its ripping a huge, long fart. When we bought the 1994 Accord for 600 dollars, we quickly found out that it needed to go to a scrapyard. It's sad that it wasn't taken care of well enough, because it's a sweet little machine. I hate to admit that a Chevy would be a better deal than a Honda, but in this case, it was. Anyways, when I say we, I mean my boyfriend, Cam. Or Camshaft, people call him that usually. I forgot to specify the "we" part. Ha. Anyways, Cam and me are always buying cars for cheap. He got his previous car, a 2001 Saab 93 with a nice size turbo (14.5 max psi) for 1000 dollars. We quickly sold that for 2000 and bought some junkers to fix up. Anyways, my life is all about cars, but I will never sell my Subie for a Cavi!
