I HATE cars!!! Read at your own discretion

Can I be any more clear in my title? I would give anything if I could have a mule and wagon over a car. What brought this on all of sudden? Well, I picked up a nail somewhere and my Lumina had a flat tire this morning. A day all planned on doing things in town has turned into a bloody nightmare from hell. Why was it so bad? Let me just say that I'd have more fun playing with the hounds of the Baskerville than messing around with the mechanical crap that comes with changing a blooming tire. As I stated to a friend of mine earlier, the automakers in their dire attempt to make a beautiful car into a wonderfully working machine frankly need to be placed in a straight jacket and locked up in a rubber room for the rest of their natural lives. One would think that stowing a jack is easier...wrong! It took me 2 bloody fricken hours just to figure out how to stow the stupid thing and then the manual, oh the lovely manual that is actually in English, has a picture of how the jack is suppose to be stowed. Oh goody, I thought this will be easier...wrong again! The idiot, jack in the box, yahoo, who took the photo had it BACKWARDS as to how it's suppose to be! What lame brained, dip sticked, idiot puts a photo in a book showing how to stow a jack, but does it in reverse as to how it actually fits in the car??? How hard is it to actually create a manual that simple minded folk can use and not waste 2 fricken hours trying to stow something according to how it's shown in the book? One almost needs to be a rocket scientist to figure it out and 10 to 1 a rocket scientist wouldn't be able to figure it out either.

Frankly, my next vehicle is going to be a truck. At least with a truck I wont have to worry about "stowing" anything all nice and dainty in a trunk. I'll just TOSS the jack in the back and drive on and not worry about what the blooming, fricken manual says.

Now I admit, I have little patience for anything mechanical. I don't have too many problems with little engines like chain saws, motorcycle, lawn mowers...things of that nature, because if it doesn't start after me fiddling with it, I just kick the darn thing and it usually starts. But when it comes to a car...not a truck...a car, my patience goes right out the window, especially when you're just trying to change a blooming tire.

Okay, so I am ending my rant and going to have some tea. Hopefully some day I can find me a CUCV M1008 which is a military pickup truck that is tough enough to handle a jack being tossed in the back. More on this truck this weekend.
