Time For A New Vehicle

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Sat, 2015-03-14 16:34

It's time for a new vehicle
Click, click, bang, bang it's a clunker
The struts and ball bearings clicking
It's a nightmare driving this car.

Not knowing when I'll be stranded
It's time for a new vehicle
Never trust family mechanics
They just might take you for granted.

Finally have deed and title
Five years of payments, paid in full
It's time for a new vehicle
My Aveo is a clunker.

Why? Because a car murderer
Did not properly change my oil
Massive oil leak about kill me
It's time for a new vehicle.
