My Car - and Some Weird Things

So I mentioned in a previous post that I bought a car.

The thing is, I don't technically have a license LOL. Some of you might be like uh.. wtf?
I was planning on buying a car right away anyway after I got my license, I might as well learn to drive the one I buy plus I would feel better fucking up my own car than a loaner one from a school or from a friend.

What did I get?

a 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid

I really like it, its fully loaded and great on gas which is one of the main things I was looking for. I'm probably not gonna be driving it to many places except for like metrotown and to my sisters place every now and then. Plus the size is great for me.

You wanna know something fucked up?

After I bought the car like a month later... STEVE BOUGHT THE EXACT SAME CAR.

Ok he bought a 2016 Kia optima hybrid not a 2012 like mine but WTF WHY?!

I honestly don't get why he bought the exact same car as me, he wanted a goddamn truck!

Not only that when we were together he kept bitching about how he didn't have a car available when he needed it because he had to share it with his dad and how they needed a 4th car but instead of keeping the corolla they traded it in and bought this car... so it doesn't really make sense or ease the situation regarding having a car available at all times...

Some of my friends were like that's really strange.. and they expected him to get a Jeep or a truck instead because he's been telling them he wanted one but then he changed his mind last minute and was like "I want to save money on gas" ... I honestly know that's not the reason, he's always buying expensive things to try to impress other people, which is kind of crazy... After being together for nearly 6 years you know when somebody is lying.

He did it to impress a girl. Plus it was probably really easy to influence his parents.

I'm starting to think he's getting weirder and weirder.. its a little alarming actually, but its not my problem anymore.

Rant over, here's some car stuff I bought LOL.

 Terrible air fresheners

I honestly didn't know that the face shop made these car perfumed sticks. It smelled nice yeah but it barely worked and lasted like 2 weeks until it died. I went out and got a bath and body works one, its alright but I'm not a huge fan of the scents.

Deodorizing charcoal bag and Seat belt protector

I'm always paranoid that if I got into a car accident that involved speed my head would get chopped off because of the seatbelt, so I got those Kia seat belt covers.

The charcoal bag supposedly absorbs moisture and bacteria? I left it in my car and I'm really not sure if it does anything or not lol but it had good reviews so I'll leave it for now lol.

May Updates 2014

So far worst month of the year lol.

I was supposed to visit Ashley earlier in the month but my stupid credit card got compromised (yay..) so I couldn't go and I was so pissed off! its been already a week and my fucking credit card hasn't come in the mail yet. So embarrassing trying to buy something with your credit card and getting it declined lol.

Then! I got my period late by like a week and I was freaking out lol, I think it was late because I went off the pill but when I was on the pill before my periods weren't irregular so.. wtf lol.

Steve dropped his Samsung Galaxy S4 and it broke for the second time in 6 months AND he had one of those shock absorbent phone cases that's supposed to help soften the fall or whatever and it did not work at all and it was like a 2-3 foot drop. So now he has to blow like $300 to fix his phone, he's never getting a Samsung phone ever again since it is the second time and honestly, you would think that a $700 phone would be able to endure a 2-3 foot drop without the screen shattering.. Iphones are more sturdy from our experience lol.

**********

We went to the states the other day just to pick up a package (doesn't take that long to just cross the border) and it pisses me off so much when people overload the shit out of their cars so crap comes flying off of them when you drive behind them.

Steve bought a new car (not sure if I mentioned it..) and this bitch had dirt and rocks in her truck and was driving on the highway when suddenly all these rocks and dirt came flying at his car (secure that shit, really! or better yet clean it out!) it chipped his windshield (in 3 different places) and his paint, and I highly doubt ICBC will do shit about it because they don't care, I took a picture of the truck and wrote down their license plate. Steve was obviously super pissed about it because well ITS A NEW FUCKING CAR, he's had it for less than a month! I bet they'll say "its an act of god" or whatever and its not the fault of the person who owned the truck... could've been prevented if they had cleaned that shit out!

Then we came home and Steve and his mom got into an argument LOL what about? Well basically she woke him up at 5:30AM because she forgot to tell her management about her keycard at work so she wanted him to write out what to say in English for her and he was pissed off about it so he told her not to wake him up like that again unless she's got something written down and she FREAKED THE FUCK OUT he told her to do it the night before or at least have something written down so he can edit it but he had to write it on the spot. It was his day off and she's had tons of ESL classes and shit like wtf! SO LAZY! She can't really use the excuse "I don't know enough English" or whatever because she's taken tons of classes and University classes in Korea and its her fault if she can't do it because she makes everyone do it for her, she needs to learn and I've told Steve multiple times to let her learn on her own but he's such a puss about doing stuff for his mom lol.

She thought he was being totally unreasonable and "kicked" him out but lets get real here, she can't live by herself, she's incapable of living by herself.

**********

I'm getting even more and more pissed off lately at Steve, only because he's SO FUCKING LAZY, he doesn't want to go out or do anything! I waited 2 hours for him to come to the gym with me and he just put up a pissy little attitude the whole fucking time and he always tells his friends how "active" he is by hitting the gym and playing hockey which is a complete lie, only plays hockey for maybe 15 minutes? might be a 40 minute game but he's not on all the time and he's not even that good of a player anymore because physically he's not what he used to be. Maybe its a combination of stress from work and stress from his mom? Not really sure but he needs to figure out a balance or he's going to implode.

What's great is THEY'RE FINALLY MOVING OUT! The weird thing? His mom doesn't want to tell his dad that they're moving, which I find really weird. I mean its your husband and you don't want to let him know that you're moving your family into a different home? His dad just earned like a thousand respect points from me because he does so much shit for them and this is the kind of treatment he gets. I mean it won't be a big deal if you tell him if you're moving, keeping it a secret will probably be a big deal because, why keep it a secret? That's really freaking weird..

Anyways that's basically it for May, my birthday is in a few days -___-' (and I bet some how it'll be ruined) and my class starts next week, wish me luck!

July Updates

Bleeeh.

So tired lately! There's been a lack of updates lately because Steve's sister has been visiting and they've been making me hang out with them "as a family" so we've been site seeing and what not -___-' lol

We went for a brief trip to Whistler (I've never actually been there before) and along the way we went offroading for like 10 minutes lol.

 Think we went to Britannia (from what Steve told me)

Steve's mom likes to pervert cam us LOL. She'll walk really slowly behind us and secretly take photos of us. I left my phone at home one night and I noticed I had 32 messages on my phone from his mom and I was like wtf? She sent me tons of stalker photos lol.

 Us walking around Whistler lol

Me and Steve on the beach in White Rock lol

(creeps me out thinking that she was watching us AND taking photos...)

This is the crappy pizza we got at Whistler (paid $16 for it)

So buy food before you go lol

**********

I think I mentioned before that his mom bought a 2002 Audi A4 a few months ago (which she picked mainly because its an Audi and she wanted to show off her car even though its an older model) now she wants to get a new car that will save money on gas! I'm like FUCK. OFF. SERIOUSLY.

She was only willing to spend $15,000 before and now she's doubled it to $30,000. So now if she trades in the car that she has (she paid $10,000 for it) its only worth like $4000 - 5,000 because there's major problems that the dealership didn't fix.

Why does she want to get a new car? To save money. SO SMART and she wants an SUV -___-'

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T SHE GET A BRAND NEW ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

**********

Ashley's mother in law went to the Okanagan for like a week and she left her dog here for my mom to take care of.. Since we have Steve's sister's retarded dog its been hell.

 Here's the stupid dog in Steve's mom's car

(She puked 3 times in the car that day lol)

Sparty (Ashley's mother in laws dog) likes to roam around the house and since we're downstairs Monet (Steve's sister's dog) FREAKS THE FUCK OUT she keeps fucking barking ITS SO ANNOYING! Plus we punish her and stuff but she keeps doing it >.< SO FRUSTRATED! Plus he's scared of water or something because he screams (literally) when the hose is on outside or when you run a bath -___-' yep

One time someone from our neighborhood thought my mom was murdering him because he was screaming and the cops came. When they asked to see him I came out with him and they were like wtf? because he was totally fine and I asked "why are you here?" and they're like "because someone complained that you were abusing the animal and I was like "ooooh! its because he's scared of water or something" and then I turned on the hose and he freaked out lol and the police officers were like "ooooooh HAHHAA" yeah we had a good laugh.

**********

Yaaay Steve's sister left! I'm starting to think that Steve's mom is getting depressed... the other day she said that she was going to go on a short walk and she came home four hours later drunk... we were like wtf? Where did you go? and she told us that she sat in the car drinking by herself.. and it was the day before Lucia left so we were kind of like that's weird...

Yep so not much has happened this month... As for my position on the waitlist for school I think I've moved up 3 spots for only one class -___-' wtf still pissed off. So I should start making arrangements for September since I probably won't be attending class this September (thanks school >.<)

Car Salesmen

No I'm not getting a car, I don't even have my fucking license lol. I should really get on that... but I have been looking at driving schools.

Steve has been looking for a car for a while now, mainly because his mom can't drive a manual car and she's been nagging him non-stop for him to give her rides to wherever and its interrupting his school/work schedule as well as stressing the shit out of him. Plus we can't really go out without her calling us and telling us to get her something and bring her somewhere >.< "where are you?" "Are you coming home soon?" "eat dinner at home, don't eat out" STFU lah!

 Me and Steve always take walks around the automall just to look and spend some time with each other, we used to walk Athena (our German shepherd T_T) there. A few times Steve would find something both him and his mom would like, he would take a photo and show it to his mom and she would say ok lets go see it. We would go see it and then she would change her mind because the car salesman would be too aggressive.

Last night we went to Destination Mazda in Vancouver because according to their website they had a car that Steve liked and he's been looking for, for a while now. We casually walked their used car lot and as soon as we headed near the front a salesman comes out and says "is there anything I can help you with?" which is quite typical I would think. We just said "we are just looking" and he starts following us... Steve got weirded out and just asked if they had what he was looking for. The gentleman took us inside and flipped through some book and told us that it was gone (which we already assumed since it wasn't in the used car lot) so we were like "ok that's fine we were just looking anyways" and we headed out.

As soon as we headed out the guy runs after us and asks "why are you looking for that car? we have this other car you can see" Steve said "no that's fine, we came to see this car" and the guy got super pissy and said "Are you looking to buy a car or what?" Steve says "Eventually but we wanted to see if you had this" he says back "why did you even come if you are not going to look at other cars" Anyways long story short... Steve got mad at the guy for being rude and pushy and the guy got mad at Steve for not looking at other cars, lol.

Ok, I've worked in retail (which I HATED lol) and if I could buy a car online with no sales pressure, I would. I understand this guy is on commission but the experience with this guy made it so I never want to set foot on that lot ever again. I hate that as soon as a salesman see you "you are their customer" automatically like come on. I think I am entitled to pick who gets my commission.

When you set out to look for a car I would generally think that you would do a little research on what kind of car you want, what price range it's in, designs, etc etc. I mean if I'm gonna spend over $10,000 I would want to do the research unless I was a millionaire. But really if you decide you want to buy a car would you do online research? or would you just randomly go down to any dealership and roam around? Personally I would do my research first and then go down there.

When the time comes and I find a car that I want to purchase I'm going to have to filter the salesmen really really good lol.

How was your experience purchasing your car? Did you feel pressured?
