My Beautiful Depreciation


Now I’m not a materialistic person. I would much rather spend my money on vacations, good food & drink or the performing arts. (Clothes and shoes don’t count. I need those to express my extraordinary style.) However, I have one prized possession: The Sebring. I love this car. I love to drop the top, crank the tunes and hit the open road. I even sport a ridiculous car tan. Some of you may also call this a farmer tan, but I ain’t no farmer.

Today my Sebring cost me almost $1000. It cost me $939.81 to be exact. Evidently the harsh Chicago Winter and more specifically the potholes that formed from the hot-->cold-->hot-->cold temperatures took quite a toll on the suspension. So much that I was told this morning that I was luck I hadn’t lost control on the Edens this morning. (Assuming I actually could break 30mph on my commute) Now I do love this car, but DAMN! Bitch is costing me something fierce. Guess the cruise is out this winter. Sorry Carol. Tonight I think I’m going to even out the Visa bill and have $60.19 in drinks at Maryoke. Yeah, that’ll make it all better.
