For those of you that asked questions:
1) What I do each Day: Usually I come over here to the computer lab in my apartment complex, I go to Michigan websites looking for jobs in and around my area, as well as going out and personally checking up on my applications and looking for new places to get an application. Even after ranting I went out and got four new applications and turned them in today. One place called and left a message on my cellphone but I haven't called back yet (no reception...stupid prepaid phones). At 4:20 I leave and pick up my fiance from at our carpool spot at a local grocery store. I come home, make dinner, then go over any new applications and check off places that I went to (I make a list everyday) in which I was successful in getting and turning in an application. Some places require me to go to a local business that handles hiring for businesses in the area to get an application but they have oddball hours (open two days a week from 9am to 11am) and I can't always go there since they only let you apply every 60 days, which is really stupid.

2) About the Neon transmission: knock it off about me getting ripped off. I did not spend the entire $3800 on a transmission alone! I may be young compared to you but I am not stupid and I know when I'm getting hassled. Sometimes you can't do anything about it. In the position I was in, I didn't have the time to call or shop around for a tranny since it had to be taken care of ASAP, since my fiance had to get to work Monday (he drives for the 1st part of the week so he needed a car and neither of our parents were kind enough to allow us to borrow theirs). So therefore, I had to rent a car Saturday afternoon, I had it Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The tranny came in Tuesday and the car was done Wed. I went to get the Neon Wed but had to wait until my fiance got home (had to pick him up at 4:30) and then go pick up the Neon, and bring it home as well as turn in the rental car. If you reread my posts I said that my money was spent on a combination of things. It was all sprawled out over a period of 5 miserable days. The tranny went bad on a Saturday, I had to pay the tow bill and had to prepay for the tranny at the shop, as well as pay for shipping from California. Since I couldn't drive the car home, my fiance and I had to take a taxi back home and a friend took us to go rent a car for the time being (Which I guess was interesting, Enterprise got a pair of '06 Charger SXTs in and I got one). I also had to do laundry and get groceries.
It's amazing how you can have almost $4000 one day and in less than a week it's gone.

As for those of you who have emailed me and helped me out, thank you for the support. For those of you that have been sarcastic and think it is funny to make smartalec little comments about another's misfortune, grow up. Sure I may have had to rant and I was angry but through it all, I wan't making little remarks so who is the true mature adult here? As many a wise mother had once said...."if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all....."

What about those of us who replied with comments about socially acceptable masturbation?

Seriously though.

I've kinda just scanned this thread and I may just be an ornery old fart (at the ripe old age of 35), but it seems to me that you really don't have such a BAAAAAD life.

Yeah, you dropped 3 grand on a tranny (and probably DID get ripped off, but we all have) and now you don't have 3800 bux to spend on the rusted money-pit of your dreams, but you REALLY should have other priorities right now.

I know you spend all your time looking for work and picking your fiancee up at work and that's admirable (well, not really, at 21 you really shouldn't have a fiancee and...besides...shouldn't you really be aiming a little higher than a grocery store employee?  I mean...c'mon...you want to afford a Charger someday don't you?) but you seem like a reasonably intelligent woman.  Go to school and get a degree...any degree.  Then, get a job, make some good money, wait 'till you're about 30, THEN find a guy who has a good job and makes good coin and you can get married and you can deny him sex until he buys you the Charger you want.

All that advice for free....what a deal!

You can rant all you want, people do it here all the time & there's nothing wrong with it. But being 21 puts you in a position where you still need to learn quite a bit. If you think being a kid & a female is the reason that people turn you down for owning a Charger, you should think more, or maybe in a different way. Maybe the person passing judgement on you & not selling you a car is just an a-hole. You won't change their mind or their discriminatory views, if that's what it was, so find someone normal selling a car & buy theirs.

I can't help say it, but at 21 & not having what you want seems a bit whiny. (No offense meant either.) This is a public forum, so you will see some public opinion whether you like what you read or not. Thicker skin helps too. As for what you paid for a transmission, we've all overspent on things in the past. I know I have, so just get over it, move on, & hopefully you will learn from it. If you don't, you'll stay broke & never get a Charger.


I couldn't agree more. First off, dropping $3800 on an 8 year old econobox is just plain nuts. You could've got that done for 1/3 that, maybe less. You were screwed.

More importantly, even though I realize that you're 21, if this truly is some sort of cataclysmic event in your life, I worry about your future mental state. To be blunt, IT'S AN EFFING CAR. You didn't get it. It is hardly the end of the world. If this is the worst thing that you've had to deal with in your life up until now, you've been blessed. Moreover, unless you are walking around lucky, you can count on some truly terrible things that come down the road of life that will make losing out on a car seem like a joke.

I think that all these guys in here that you seem to think are so lucky will tell you that they have been kicked in the groin by life too many times to count. You pick yourself up, GET SOME PERSPECTIVE, and move on. Self-pity makes for poor theatre.

Just calling them as I see them.


What you said to me was just plain rude. You have no idea what kiind of a person I am and I think it is low of you to assume that I am mental or something? I am well spoken and I can handle a lot of crap from people like you. That makes me mental? Believe me, just because I am 21 and a female does NOT mean I get what I want.....or need for that matter. How about getting a $500 paycheck every other week (twice a month) from your fiance's job, having  $481 rent due, $69 for the budget plan through my utility company due, $95 a month for car insurance (not 25 yet so it is still high), having to somehow come up with money for food and gas for the car (gas is usually about $45 a week, driving 3 days 100 miles round trip to and from his job each day, filling up usually twice a week, sometimes not filled up 100% though) and having anything left over for emergencies, savings or anything??? It's a miracle we haven't gotten evicted, with late payment after late payment. My fiance's parents did help us out with various things financially, but even with that help, we can't pull even. So poke fun and be ignorant all you want but keep it to yourself. It's not fair for you to judge someone if you don't know them. That is just common sense.

And there is the crux of the issue.

Dump the fiancee.  I can't believe ANY woman would consider marrying a dude that makes 12 grand a year.

I never called you mental. Try reading for comprehension. I said that if you go off the deep end like this over this incident, I wonder what the hell will happen when you have a real serious issue to deal with.

As for the rest, others have already told you, get an education. Without some serious post high school education, the prospects are not all that pleasant.

12grand a year? Eeesh.

No, common sense is that if finances are THIS tight and all you have to your name is $3800. YOU DO NOT GO AND SPEND IT ON A TOY.

THAT is common sense. Whoever said that you were lucky the tranny went before you bought the Charger was 100% spot on. What would you have done if you didn't have the money to fix the tranny because you just spent all you had on a car that you didn't need?

1) Excuse me? What gives you the right to tell me I shouldn't have a fiance? Legally I am an adult and therefore I can make my own desicions about my love life. There are some things that people should think about before saying... and sorry to say but you are wrong for saying that!

2) When did I ever say that my fiance works at a grocery store? I said that is where I pick him up at. The coworker he rides with for the 2nd half of the week meets us there, and then they drive 50 miles to Battle Creek for their factory job at A.D.O, run by ODW Logistics, based out of Ohio. Do some research if you want. I have applied there as well but they can't find someone who is willing to change their shift so I can ride with Matt to work and have the same hours. With one car, it would be kind of hard to have different shifts and have both people getting to and from work....you know?

If I sound a little harsh, think about this. Some of the things that you, as well as *Some* other people here, have said are rude, or uncalled for, or just plain hurtful.  You crossed the line with the quote above. That really pissed me off. You don't see me telling you how to live your life and you don't see me telling you that you don't have the right to have something or to love someone. For instance, look at it this way...how would you feel If I said you don't deserve anything you have or something? That would be me telling you you don't have the right to be happy. That is pretty much what you said to me...that I don't have that right.

Aaaiiiight.  Lemme 'splain somthing.

You have given us all this information about your life.  To expect us not to comment on it is just not realistic on your part.

Most of us here are actually trying to help you.  Sure, some of us have used harsh words, but sometimes you need harsh words.  These are the facts as you have presented them to us, along with some suggestions on life improvement.

1.  You have no money based on the fact that your financee's (misspelling intentional) income is 12 grand a year take-home and you can't find a job.

Suggestion:  Lose the fiancee...sorry, but its a harsh, cruel, nasty, evil, heartless world out there and chances are pretty good that, even if he stays in his job and gets promoted many times over, he'll never make more than 35 grand a year before he retires.  35 grand sounds pretty nice don't it?  Well, shoot out a yung-un and see what happens...no car and 12 grand a year ::)I hope he's great in bed.

You want a house?  You want a reasonably nice car?  you want some financial independence?  You want to take a vacation somday?  Forget it!

You have no job...how can that be?  Face it, you have nothing more than a HS education.  You're not even going to get a job as a secretary nowadays.  You want a job, got to McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, etc.  They'll give you a job...and probably pay you more than your fiancee is getting.


2.  You miraculously saved up 3800 bucks and you were going to spend it on a money pit (that is, after all, all you're gonna get these days for 3800 bucks...sorry).

Suggestion:  If you're that good at saving money, you need to be a little wiser about what you spend it on.  Even if you had not blown your tranny, I figure rent, food, education are SLIGHTLY more important.


Its your life and you are free to live it is you choose.  The reason that we are telling you all this is because we actually DO give a damn.  You think we are a bunch of out-of-touch old meanies?  Maybe you ought to consider the fact that many of us who are telling you this have been where you are and are speking from experience.

There is a well-known saying where I come from.  "El diablo no save por ser savio, save por ser viejo."

Roughly translated:  "The devil's knowledge does not come from wisdom, it comes from age."

Maybe having a 2nd car is a toy to you, but not to me. If I had a 2nd car then I could have a better chance at going out and getting a job, because then, I could go out during the 1st part of the week as well. Sure a Charger isn't the best choice by far, but I was thinking that If I got a Charger, I could have killed two birds with one stone. :icon_smile_big: If it broke down, I would have the other car to fall back on. Since I would probably get a local job I wouldn't have to worry about gas too much. Plus, what if I found a dayshift job during the days that my fiance doesn't have our only car? Both of us would be working, I would have been getting income that would help towards everything, and when we were back even, I could start work on the Charger. It's a nice little plan in my head, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a Charger for a 2nd car. I just wanted it to be.  ;)The Charger that I would have gotten had a LOT of new parts on it, such as suspension, tires, wheels, brakes, wiring, as well as a rebuilt engine and transmission. The seller said he had driven it the past two summers without any problems. But that goes to say that I don't know if he was lying. The car was complete and solid, no rust in the trunk or floors (new floors), only rust was in the quarters, about three quarter sized holes and some bubbling, in which he had new quarters to go with the car. I have read many magazines that featured articles on what to look for and what to be aware of. Buying a complete car versus a basketcase or less complete car costs more money in the longrun. All I believe I would have had to do with this one was to get it painted, a few trim peices restored or replaced, and new carpet and seats wouldn't have hurt. This car was a steal, it was easily worth thousands more. Like you haven't gotten a little caught up in the moment. ::) If worse came to worse, yes I would have sold it. I probably even would have gotten more, maybe even double what I would have paid for it, and therefore all of my debts could have been paid within days. I could have fixed the Neon as well. I know several local people who would have had cash ready for me within an hour to buy the Charger if I bought it and had to sell it. I'm not the only Charger/Mopar lover around here. So I wouldn't have had it so bad. There are a couple local shops here that could have gotten a tranny in the next day, if they didn't already have one but remember, I was stuck far away and was already frustrated. Who thinks straight while they are frustrated yet sort of happy (me about the Charger), but bitter at the moment (about the trans)? Back off a little. I wouldn't rub your nose in it if you guys overpaid for something. Anyway I just called my bank and our tax refund came in. Maybe things can finally look upward for a change.

It still doesn't give you the right to tell me to break our engagement. That, you have no business in. Good for you, you were born before me and have went through similar things a long time ago. I read everything here and I have though about a lot of things that all of you have to say. You all worked hard to get what you've got. I plan to continue working hard to acheive my goals and that includes staying with my fiance. WHEN we get through this TOGETHER look at how much stronger and closer that will make us. I have enough sense in my head to know that having a child right now is not the right thing to do...and we both know that we won't get a small house for a few more years. I don't plan on staying in this situation. I know what I need to do and I am working towards that. But in the meantime I'm not splitting with him. We have been together almost 3 yrs (I know that isn't a long time) he's never cheated and he is the sweetest guy I have ever met. I would never find another guy like him, by means that he listens, he cooks, he cleans,(we both do) he offers advice, he's supportive, he is smart, hardworking, honest, loyal, and trustworthy etc etc. You can think what you want (aka "stupid little girl" YOURE WRONG) but he isn not going anywhere. Don't think that I am not listening to what you have to say. I am just defending things that I think some of you may not have any business in.... :yesnod:

You are legally an adult, but that doesn't have anything to do with making choices.  You basically are making choices from the day you leave the womb.  I know of three year olds that do pretty good with decision making and reasoning.  You are 21 and make you own choices everyday, it just sounds like you make BAD choices and aren't willing to take advice from those who have been there and done that.  You can't expect to come on a public internet forum, rant about your horrible decision making, and expect the rest of the world not to have anything to write about it.  As far as people blowing up, I just read through this whole stupid thread again and it looks like you're the only one that seems to have blown up.  You're right, we don't know anything about you except for the rants you've written on here.  Thats all that we've got to go on.  Personally, from the little I know about you, I can honestly say that I don't want to know any more about you.  If this is how you act in person I wouldn't hire you either.  Tipopiola

And as far as your last post goes, if there are certain things that are none of our business, maybe you shouldn't post about them on the WORLD WIDE WEB!  Just one more example of poor decision making :rotz:

Don't ever let someone tell you how to have a relationship. I am 24 and married for the last three years. I am happier today than I ever have been and it keeps getting better everyday. The day I met my Girl I knew I was done with other women. No one's opinion could ever sway that.  My parents are celebrating their 35th anniversary this fall and the got married at 18 and 19. No where is there a more honorable couple than my parents. My sister and brother in law got married at 19. They have three wonderful children and are happy as all get out.

Moral: When it's right it's right and no obstacle that gets in your way can deter your path. By society's standards I should be filling out divorce papers and my sister should be fighting over custody, but society was wrong. It isn't easy, but then again if it was easy everybody would do it. ;)

I wish you the best of luck!

Is it possible you are trying for a job that is not an entry level position?   ya gotta start at the bottom.  Mc Donald's, Burger King, Kmart, WalMart......a job is a job no?

The excuse of not having a 2nd car to go look for work isn't cutting it.   Does Michigan not have a mass transit system? ::)

I don't understand it. Why do things have to be this way?? Everytime I get enough money to get a '68 to'74 Charger, something in my life goes wrong. I saved up $3800 and Two weeks ago I found a '70 Charger 383/auto about 50 miles from me, ran good but had some quarter rust, I got the guy down to $3000 (yah I know!) and on the way to the bank, my Neon's engine starts to rev really high (I am going up a hill) and I noticed I wasn't actually driving forward, just rolling. So I get over the hill and pull to the side, shut the car off and pop the hood. My tranny fluid was low so I had it towed to the nearest tranny shop and the guy there was nice enough to put more fluid in, but after he backed it out of the bay there was a nice puddle of tranny fluid and it slipped again right there with him driving. Not only are my tranny seals blown but he said one of the gears is bad. So I had to use my $3800 to get a brand new transmission installed in my '98 Neon (after waiting 4 days for it to come in and yes I had to leave my Neon there and take a freaking taxi home). I was SOOOOO CLOSE to FINALLY getting a Charger!!! Why does this have to happen to me???? I only have $87 left after parts and labor and all the other stupid stuff. I'm pissed!!! It took me a year to save up that much after paying my other bills. I'm not like you guys who have good jobs (or one at all-try getting a job in my area right now YOU CAN'T Thank You For Nothing Jennifer Granholm!!) And being 21 and a female, people hassle me all the time!! Either I don't get hired because I am a female or because they say I'm not qualified...well if I had a job I could afford to go to night classes, get better suited, and get a better job. You guys can all go out and spend thousands scooping up Chargers and doing whatever with them and life just keeps kicking my ass! I'm seriously at the point of just screaming until my vocal cords shred. I never knew how much I wanted a Charger until it was literally ripped away from me. I called the guy who was selling it and do you know what?? Another guy came to look at it while I was on my way to the bank and he bought it right out from underneath me!!! Am I not allowed to have one because I'm a female or something? Are Chargers only for guys?? Every single one I have looked at (I looked at 4 others before the '70) I was turned down. One guy even said he didn't want a kid to buy it. What an ass! I told him I was 21 and that I have never been in an accident, zero tickets and I have owned classic cars before. He said it didn't matter because it "wasn't a girls car". I seriously wanted to kick him in the junk! I have become so bitter and I don't know how to get out of it. I am never going to be able to get a Charger (or ANY '68-'74 Mopar for that Matter) because their prices keep going up as does the price of gas. By the time I am able to scrape up enough money for one again, it may be 10 years down the road and maybe I won't have interest in one anymore or the price of gas may even be $5 to $7 a gallon or more. It's rediculous! I mean, once all the gasoline is gone, it's gone, and I don't think a Charger would run very well on corn fuel.....
You guys amaze me yet make me angry because you can afford to have a Charger. I'm not out to hurt anyones feelings but I just feel like I am in a hole and can't get out. I don't think I am depressed, just tired of my state's economy and how things are right now with the job search, bills & car repairs, among other things. I even heard that the city where I live has the highest unemployment rate in the state, or possibly the country (I think the state). Anyway, it's always good to vent, or blow off major steam. Hope you guys don't mind because I'm not trying to put anyone down, I am just tired of it all. Hopefully you guys can see where I am coming from, take care!

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but I think as of those last two posts, this thread is as good as locked.

im not sure exactly what you are referring to. Those posts contain no profanity, insults, or crude sexual language. Why would they get the thread locked?  ;D
