Ten Signs You Need a New Car
February 18, 2009 by Brad - Your Car Guy
People love their cars. They form bonds with them very much like they form with friends and family members, especially in parts of the country, like here in Bartlesville, where a car is a necessary part of life. And what’s not to love. Cars are, for the most part, beautiful pieces of machinery that make our lives a lot easier and a lot more fun. Every now and then, though, that love can turn into something ugly. I mean really ugly.
Do you know anyone who has a favorite shirt or pair of jeans that they have had waaayyyy too long? You know, the ones with all the holes in them that show some patches of skin that normally aren’t supposed to see daylight. Well, people often have a tendency to do the same thing with their cars. They drive them until the simply wont run any longer.
The problem is that, just as with people you love, when you are too close to something you often have problems seeing its faults. With people this is fine. We should hold onto them as long as we can. But cars are inanimate objects and there comes a time when it is high time to just let that sucker go.
In the interest of public service I have taken it upon myself to construct a list of ten signs that you need a new car. For those of you who may have become love-blinded to the fact that your car is a rusting hunk of junk, read through the list and if your car meets any of these criteria, its time to get a new one. Of course, I would be crazy not to mention that I know of a great place to look for a new Toyota Ford Lincoln or Mercury in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, but even if you aren’t interested in looking into those, if you recognize your car in the list, at least look into something. Its for the good of us all.
Top Ten Signs Its Time to Buy a New Car
10. The tape is stuck in your eight track player.
9. The mosquito fogger rolls up his windows when he sees you coming.
8. Your car is technically totaled when it runs out of gas.
7. You’re no longer sure what make, model, color or shape your car was originally.
6. You have to write ‘not abandoned’ on your car to keep it from being towed.
5. Family outings are beginning to resemble the clown car gag.
4. You’re dog is embarassed to hang his head out the window.
3. You’ve used the phrase, “So I put it in park and swam the heck out of there.”
2. You consider duct tape a car part.
1. Your horsepower is actually horsepower.

Full of “wholes”? Seriously? And someone should trust you to buy a car from you?
I’m sorry. I’m having trouble following the ‘logic’. Is it your contention that someone who mistypes a word from time to time is somehow automatically rendered untrustworthy by the fact they are capable of making an insignificant mistake?
Anyway, thanks for the edit. It is always hard to catch those instances where I accidentally use homophones during proofreading.
I found this blog very important and very interesting. I am very glad to see that blog.
That was one sick top ten! I was laughing on that one! But yes, there are some true meanings on that one. Especially on number 7, when the original part was gone. Somehow, parts from aftermarket shops like Car Parts Los Angeles and others can give it a good look, but not overkill look. Overall, the post that you made is good and humorous. Good job!
