Because I don't have enough trouble with my car (and unlike mack, it's usually my fault), I keep running into things. Luckily, they are inanimate objects that don't carry insurance, but I've exchanged a fairly significant amount of paint on both sides of my car. I'm already crossing my fingers that my clutch doesn't go out before I can sell a kidney to get money for a new one. I don't want to have to deal with body work on top of that. *sigh*

Anyone got any get rich quick schemes? Preferably ones that work without me having to (any more than I already do).

Well, don't try robbing banks. At least not if you intend to drive the getaway car.

I'd drive, but the engine would fall out and then someone would hit us.

You'll still pay for insurance, right?

Sadly, yes, I would still pay for insurance.

Squee!!! I can drive around! Don't worry, I'll be safe!

Just keep in mind that the clutch could go at any time. And the brakes are pretty worn. Plus, it's a station wagon. A "luxury" station wagon, but still a station wagon.

Don't worry, the "power steering" on my old volvo (which has been sold since I went to college) was more of "strongman power steering" and didn't work under 20 miles per hour...when you're driving around a tank made of steel, you learn to adapt to the car.

Oh, don't get me started on my power steering pump.

fiazko -- if you keep running into things, have you THOUGHT seriously about having your eyes checked? Maybe your depth perception is off...

Thanks, Farmgirl. I never really thought about it, but it could be a real possibility. I've always had some trouble with depth perception. I swear my arms are shorter than I think they are. I need to get my eyes checked soon, anyway. I'll try to remember to bring that up.

Now selling your body sounds like a good idea, but it's not. When that failed I tried to steal the hope Diamond. That failed too.

I suggest a lemonade stand. Works for cute 5 year olds, why not you.

Cute is pushing it as it is, and while I'm older than I look, i definitely couldn't pass as 5. I can throw a mean tantrum now and then...
