Me and my Lemon

What do Natalie Portman and I have in common? Dog pee.



Last week, a neighborhood chihuahua ran up to my car, jumped on me as I got out of the car, and then jumped into the driver's seat. As I was panicking, yelling at the dog to get out of the car, he lifted is leg and peed on the seat!! Then, he ran away like a flash. My brand new car that's already been in the shop 3 times since purchase: once for a chip of paint off the driver's side door handle, once to tighten the door frame that was squeaking against the window (they didn't fix it; it's going back on Friday), and once to replace a tire because I drove over a screw. It brings new meaning to the word screwed, because the screw was too close to the edge and I had to spend $150 for a new tire, only 2 weeks after I bought the car.



Today on the Superficial is a photo of Natalie getting peed on by a dog.



The car's going back on Friday because when I brought it in for the door tightening, I also asked them to maybe fix a scratch on the door handle that I think I made. They said they can't, they'd order a new part. I went back last Saturday to have the new part put in and they'd ordered the wrong part. Annoying. My new appointment is on Friday. Fortunately, I already had that appointment because I have yet another problem w/the car. As I opened the passenger door after work yesterday, I heard a clunk. The edge of the door hit the frame of the car and the paint was squished off the edge. Photo to come later. I called said I needed to add this on to my appointment and also said I was about ready to give the car back. The service lady said I should email the Service and Sales managers and also talk to them when I go in on Friday.



I think the car is cursed.
