"Fall From Grace" Rant

I know I’m not the only one going through this kinda thing but I seriously need to vent. My life has been plummeting downhill for the last couple years in an uncontrollable spiral. The culmination of which ended with theft of my Hemi Sport at the worst possible time in my life. It's been years since I had to drive a beater, going from one new cushy vehicle to another leaving the mechanic work I had to do to projects and regular maintenance. Since the theft of the Ram however, I have had to relegate myself to "beaters" starting with bio hazard a $350 89 Acura Legend that if i could have afforded to not sell it I would have taken into the woods, torched and roasted marshmallows on its remains. Than moving onto my current, previously abused, '94 Grand Cherokee. Don't get me wrong I love the stupid Jeep but I am SO SICK of constantly having to diagnose, fix, and replace parts. I don't need to be married, that stupid Jeep has a "honey-do" list a note pad long. For every one thing I pull off of the list she throws 3 more things on. I have made good progress on her but for all intents and purposes I’m have to restore the effin thing to keep her on the road. I try not to complain too much (especially in front of her) considering that after buying her for 500 bucks she has never left me stranded. But I miss the days of only having to worry about whether it’s time to change the oil or not and whether I should service the tranny early because I had a trailer behind it. I know life will get better, eventually, but waiting on life to turn around is depressing.

Vent my friends, vent. I know I’m not the only one going through this kinda thing. This economy has knocked quite a few people out of the life they were accustomed to.
