This morning when I was headed to go to work, I started my car. Now, you have to know that my car is a 1993, Ford Escort. This is a car that Jay Leno has made fun of and I must agree with some of his joking around. To say the least, the car is nickel and diming me, needs more repairs and is quite temper mental, and has more than just a personality of its own.
