I'm less okay, though, than I was, 'cause my clutch picked just before
Christmas to fall apart. Word to the wise: If at any time, anyone, ever, tells anyone here, ever, that a Kia is worth anything at all, they LIE LIKE A CHEAP RUG!!!!!!! Kias are CRAP!!!! I cannot BELIEVE how awful Kias are. My Kia is a 2002. I bought it new, in the naive belief that a new car would be troublefree for a long time as long as I kept its maintenance up. Yeah. Right. I bought it in February 2002. You will note that's less than three years ago. Since then, it has had its clutch replaced on warrantee at 55,000 K (that's about 33,000 miles, for the Americans among us) because they said some clutch cable was too tight and that's why it died. It is now having its clutch replaced for a *second time* at 147,000 K (around 90,000 miles). No, I do not ride the clutch. Yes, I'm the only one who drives it. Yes, I've driven stick for years. And in August, its timing belt went and I had to replace the *engine*. That cost thirty five hundred Canadian dollars. And I'm still paying the car loan! It won't be paid off for another year! Never, ever, ever, no matter what, not even if the flood waters are rising and the apocalypse is at hand, not even if you're threatened with gradual dismemberment, should you EVER buy a Kia. Ever. Save yourself the misery. Do something comparatively pleasant, like, say, eating a bowl of leeches so you can bleed to death from the inside. Everyone I've met, every Kia owner I've talked to, every auto mechanic, everywhere (except, of course, the Kia dealership) has told me that their experiences lead them to the same conclusion I've drawn, to wit: KIAs ARE CRAP ON WHEELS! Kias are trash. Rubbish. Nasty, bad, rotten cars. Horrible things. Foul. . . . Okay, thankyou. I feel better now. Cele OMG Thank you for my best giggle of the day.... not at your expense, but from your imagery..... I can just see choosing a bowl of leaches over a Kia.... Just my 2 cents......... Christine |

If you think you're a magnet for disaster, that's what you'll attract from life. Heh, I was just joking around. I don't *really* think I'm a magnet for disaster. I just lead a very 'interesting' life. You need to have more of a positive image of what you want, and try not to focus on what you don't want. Does that make sense? I was raised with some of these beliefs and they've served me well. Just a thought. Sure, of course. Don't take me too seriously, Christine, that was a bit of laughter in the dark, if you know what I mean. The truth is, I don't think my car being a lemon has much to do with anything. I reckon everyone gets a lemon at some point, and maybe it was just my turn. It's not a big focus in my life - except, of course, when I have to fork out 900 smackers to get it fixed, that I'd rather've spent another way. No worries. I'm positive. I've had some rough stuff in life, but I"ve had some pretty good stuff too. Hell, I got sent to Australia to do my masters while being paid a salary. That's a major good. I don't so much attract disaster as I attract extremes, if I actually 'attract' anything at all. LOL Cele |
