Ugh.

I don't normally vent but I'm so frustrated right now I'm in tears.<br><br>I drive a 1995 Honda Civic. It's a decent little car with good gas mileage and it gets me from A to B, blah blah. It was my first real car, and I've had it for almost 3 years now. My mom bought it for me cheap so I would have a way to get to work and back. And this is where it gets good. She has been unemployed for almost 4 years now, yet somehow my grandpa will go car shopping with her every other year to get her a new car. It never fails. She's never had a car for more than 2 years. We ask my grandpa to help with all the car stuff because he knows about it and knows how to get a good deal, but he refuses to go look at cars with me because he doesn't seem to think I'm responsible enough to have a car payment, even though I work 30 hours a week, pay my own cell phone bill, car insurance, gas, and everything else I buy for myself. I don't even want a brand new car. I was looking at a 2007 Civic, and wanted to trade my car in as a down payment, and my mom told me we would go look at it today. What did she do instead? Got up before I did and left. I can't just go get a car because mine is still in my mom's name, and she keeps telling me she'll put it in mine, but she's too damn wrapped up in everything else she 'has' to do, which is pretty much just making up excuses about how she doesn't have time and she'll do it tomorrow.<br><br>I deliver pizzas and I have to drive my own car. I work 5 days a week. It's starting to get hot out, and my air doesn't work. I have to wear BLACK pants at work, and it is so miserably hot in my car and having to get in and out every 10 minutes. I just want a nice car. Something I can be proud to say I drive. And it's not like I'm asking someone to go buy me a car, I just need someone to go with me, and nobody seems to think it's important enough. My mom gets to drive around in her brand new 2012 Honda Civic that my grandparents bought for her, with her nice hybrid gas mileage and air conditioning, so I guess if I didn't have to think about being hot in my car, I wouldn't worry about anyone else having to do it either.

    lmao yea right! She won't let me drive her car because apparently I drive like a maniac, I speed, and I'm reckless. Which I guess is why I've never been pulled over, gotten a ticket, or been in an accident in my almost 4 years of driving? Right. That's just an excuse so I can't drive her car. She did, however, find reason to drive my car last week while I was at Mercy's house, twice, which she admitted to but wouldn't tell me where she went or why she drove it.

    ask her if she enjoyed driving a car with no air so much, she could just drive your car permanently and leave the other car to you lol

    <br><br>I'm assuming that since she gets a new one every year, the previous one either goes back to the dealership or is sold.

    Yes, she trades her old ones in for new ones as down payment. I wouldn't want her last car anyway. It was a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix with a supercharger, so it sucked up gas like it was nothing. And before that she had an SUV. I'm looking into a practical, fuel efficient car, that I have the money to pay for. I did get my mom to sit down and talk to me about it though, and we're going to talk to my Papa. I finally got her to realize that my car is old, and we don't know how much longer it will be running, and it makes more since to trade it in now while it's still worth something instead of waiting for it to completely die and then I'm stuck. So keep your finger crossed for me. >.<

    -crosses fingers-<br><br>I've been dying to get a jeep for like, four years. It might finally happen as soon as I can convince my mother to convince my step father. xD I hope this works out for you. If it does, it will give me hope in my situation. xD
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
