cooper troopa

The headlight bulb went out in my car today. Which is such a bummer. Owning a Mini Copper is rough. And I will explain why. The mini cooper being a “nice” car I feel like I should really take care of it. It’s so precious because it’s so small and expensive. I, being a girl of small means, feel inadequate when it comes to the up keep of my precious Mini. And I can’t help it that my car has a wreckage title because its life has been hard. Here is its story told in creepy first person.

Hi, I’m Becca’s car. But I wasn’t always with her. First I was bought for some spoiled kid in LA, CA. No joke. And I was fairly pimped out for said spoiled girl, seat warmers, sun and moon roof. But somehow, and really I try to block out of my memory hoe, I was stolen. It sucked I was driven pretty hard and fast and not treated very well. I thought I was a goner, but the police found me and tried to return me to the spoiled kid but she had already replaced me with a new mustang. How tacky. Anyways, so the cops sold me at auction and a guy bought me who sells cars on ebay. I was then bought by Becca’s parents on ebay. So then I was cleaned up and sold and Becca and her mom flew to LA and drove me back to Texas. It was rought going there for a while but I survived and I can’t help it that every once in a while I’m falling apart.

Now that it has told you its story I will tell you all the general up keep/ signs that it’s falling apart.
-4 new tires- minimum price for Mini tires around $100 (2 of those tires were because of flats and not normal wear)
-Breaks redone or something I don’t know my dad took care of that
-Battery replaced when completely died one day
-Oil light goes on when car goes into idle
-It has happened I think 2 times that my car completely dies and the only way to get it back is to turn it all off and turn it back on- one time this happened while I was in Chicago while I was in the middle of an intersection!
-I think the logo on the back of the mini is missing the black part around the word mini… I think…
-My car always looks dirty to me
-Sometimes it smells like Za’s food (completely my fault)

That’s all I can think of for now. But you see what I mean. I love my car, I love that I have a car. Is it weird to have a guilt complex over a car? When I have a million dollars I won’t feel bad at all but right now- poor thing. I want to be able to make it better, stronger, faster. The 6 million dollar Mini Cooper.

Also I thought it’d be cool if I had the money and were feeling silly enough to custom paint my car with like a turtle shell on the roof and take the racing strips off and have like a golden yellow trim around the bottom or something and have my license place say “troopa”. Get it? Mini Cooper? I will now Photoshop my way into you believing me. This should be good.
