On top of the fact that I was lied to repeatedly about the car that I purchased, I have had more problems with my 2008 PT Cruiser than my mom and dad have had with their 2001 and 2004 PT Cruisers COMBINED and that includes the fact that my mom's car is currently not running and sitting in our driveway.
Let's add to that the fact that I have had to replace the battery in this car EVERY SUMMER since I bought it. I managed to get a jump so I could take my car to the dealership at about 915am. I got there and they said "We'll take a look at it" even though I told them TWO WEEKS AGO when I brought it in that it was a bad battery. So, I decide to go look into the possibility of buying a new car while they're looking at my current car. FOUR HOURS LATER they still hadn't even pulled my car back to the repair bays to even figure out what was wrong. When they FINALLY pulled it back to look at it, it took another THREE HOURS for them to "figure out" that it was in fact the bad battery I had originally told them it was and to switch out said battery.
Two weeks ago I dropped my car off at about 11am because the battery was dead. It took them until THE NEXT MORNING to even LOOK at my car and then they told me "oh, it's just the connectors, we'll do the battery service and you'll be good." Well, it turns out that the "battery service" that they charged me $40 for, I could have done myself with a 50 cent can of Coke. All they did was clean off the battery cables. They claimed that they checked the battery and that the battery was good.
The kicker? If they had changed the battery two weeks ago it would have still been under the free replacement. As of last week, it wasn't under the free replacement anymore. So that means that I had to pay $88 for towing, $40 for the "battery service" and today I had to pay $106 for the new battery and labor. $32 worth of labor to change out the fucking battery.
All of this is on a 2008 PT Cruiser. Since I bought the car in 2008, I have had to replace the Cam Shaft Position Sensor Circuit and the Crank Shaft Position Sensor Circuit. I've had to replace the battery three times as of today. I had to get the brakes done within 6 months of buying the car. I have had to get new tires on the car twice. I have had to replace the wiring that controls the horn twice. I have had to place the wiring that controls the wind shield wipers and the turn signals as well as the switches that control them because the wiring burning out means that both switches burnt out. AND I was told that I need a new air conditioner compressor by one person, and a new air conditioner fan by another.
All of this amounts to repairs on the car in the amount of....roughly 1/3 the PURCHASE PRICE OF THE DAMN VEHICLE!
Don Davis lied to me about the warranty and refused to give me anything in writing. They lied to me about the condition of the car. They lied to me about the previous owner of the car. Hell, the VIN number pulls up for a BLUE car and my car is SILVER STEEL.
What does this all come down to? It comes down to the fact that I owe nearly 2 times what my car is actually worth so there is no way I can get rid of it until I get it paid off, because the longer I keep the car the less it is worth. So I am stuck in a fucking piece of shit car that is falling apart worse than my mistreated 1998 Mustang was when it was 10 years old.
In summer? DON DAVIS AUTO GROUP IS A LYING BUNCH OF THIEVES AND YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER do business with them EVER.

CAPTAIN AMERICA!!! Spoiler Alert ahead.
STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS! Which is the case with all Marvel movies.
SPOILER ALERT AHEAD! Don't read this if you don't want to know details about the movie.
The first thing that I have to say is that it still freaks me out to see Chris Evans head on a short, scrawny little body. It's just WEIRD! That's not him at all. And, after this movie, I officially no longer hate Chris Evans. I still don't like him all that much, but I don't hate him either. So that's a start.
I was very confused at the beginning of this movie. I couldn't get what was going on. Everything looked way too modern. It wasn't until the black mass appeared in the snow that I realized that they were finding Cap frozen in the ice. I knew about that part of his story but I didn't realize they were putting it in the movie at the very beginning.
Even though there were a lot of special effects in this film, it wasn't completely CG. I did like seeing Natalie Dormer even though it was briefly, but that was later in the film. She was the "The women of American owe you a debt of gratitude" or whatever the line was. It was a precursor to making her look like a slut so I didn't pay that much attention. I do know that it was in the trailer, though.
Stanley Tucci will always have a special place in my heart. And I love him as Dr Erskine. When Steve says "Where are you from?" and in his thick German accent Erskine says "Queens." That was too priceless.
There were only two people in Hollywood that could have possibly been cast as Colonel Chester Phillips. And since R. Lee. Ermie apparently wasn't available, the other option was the amazing Tommy Lee Jones. I love that man so much it's not even funny. And he did such a great job in this role. He's always been beautiful when it comes to delivering lines and he did it with gusto in this movie, especially since they gave him some of the best lines in the script. My personal favorite was "I'm not gonna kiss you!" So great.
Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark did a very good job. And there were a lot of scenes with Howard that the only thought I had in my head at the moment was "Like Father/Like Son." Especially the bit when Howard tests out the crystal and gets blown halfway across the lab. I had a momentary flash back to Tony first testing out the flight boots in the first Iron Man movie. VERY nice.
Everyone was very perfectly cast, although Neal McDonough will always creep me out. He did a good job as Dum Dum Dugan, though. I think we might get a chance to see him again at some point but I'm not really sure on that one. Depends on how they play this out.
The story was very well done and I am so glad that they did a great job on this. While waiting for the movie to start, with the theater completely quiet someone said aloud "Dear God please let them not have screwed this up." and of course the entire theater laughed.
There were moments that had everybody laughing and cheering. When Cap shows up with the 400 soldiers that he freed from the Red Skull, the theater erupted in applause. It was so great. There was a lot of laughing and a few "ooohs" in the appropriate places. And there were more cheers when Nick Fury showed up at the end. It was so great.
I think one of the best parts of this movie though is The Avengers trailer at the end. I am SOOOO looking forward to that movie and next summer can not come fast enough. There's a little bit of everyone in the trailer and Tony walking up to Thor, patting his arm and saying "Nice Swing" just made everybody laugh.
I have to admit that the musical numbers and the war bonds selling made me cringe. Especially the song that the girls sang. It just made me want to smack somebody upside the head repeatedly. And Chris even managed to look like he would really rather be doing anything else but that. So this has proven that Chris can at least act a little bit which has given me cause to not hate him anymore.
Over all the movie is very well done and I highly recommend it to any and everyone there is. I didn't see it in 3D and I'm personally glad I didn't, but there were a lot of parts in the movie that would be very cool in 3D if you can handle that sort of thing.
Go see this movie. That's all I'm saying.

Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows Part 2
If you have not read the book and have not yet seen the movie, beware there are spoilers ahead.
I so loved this movie, I really did. There were things that I saw differently in my head when I was reading the books but that's always going to be the case. What I saw in my head might not have been possible with special effects, and there's always different interpretations of things.
There were also parts that I didn't remember. Honestly, I totally forgot that Fred dies until a friend of mine reminded me earlier today before I went to see the movie. And that part was so horrifically sad. All of the deaths hit hard, especially the characters that I really liked. I love Fred and George. YOU DON'T SPLIT UP THE TWINS, MAN! YOU JUST DON'T! Okay, I'm over that now. And Remus and Tonks dying was just wrong on so many levels, but then I hated all of the deaths in this series. Every last one of them. Although I think the deaths that hit me the hardest were Dobby and Snape.
I would like to take a side note and say that I have always loved the casting in these movies. Every part was cast so beautifully. Although I will, until the day I die, say that Emma Watson was too pretty for Hermione and Imelda Staunton was too pretty for Delores Umbridge. They did, however, play the parts wonderfully and I am glad that those two were cast. My favorite cast members, however, have got to be Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman. Alan Rickman as Snape was just pure genius. That's all there is to it. Absolute, complete and utter genius. I love the way he managed to make it look like Snape just glides across the floor. And I love how you could simultaneously love and hate the man at the same time. Alan Rickman was perfect for Snape and I am so glad that he did it.
Snapes death was so sad and Rickman played it so well. Although I have to say that the collection of his last thoughts went very differently than described in the book. I will say that it was done well, and this was a lot easier special effects wise, but I was slightly disappointed at that.
Now, onto my love of Maggie Smith. Since the day I found out she was being cast as McGonagall, I have been cheering and wanting to hug the casting director. I've had a girl crush on this woman since she played the Mother Superior in Sister Act. I know that her career has spanned a lot longer than that, but that was my first exposure to her and I've loved her ever since. And I really, really wish that they had put "Do you need a cough drop, Delores?" into Order of the Phoenix because she would have played that line so beautifully. And my favorite part of this movie will always be "I've always wanted to use that spell!" She looked like a little kid at Christmas when she said that. It was wonderful. That woman just makes my life, that's all there is to it.
Ralph Fiennes played Voldemort so well. He has a wonderful voice and you almost hate to see him play the villain but he did it wonderfully and I loved that he was cast as Voldemort. When it comes down to it, I loved the entire cast. That's the only way to say it. Ralph was so deliciously evil that you really wanted to hate him but you couldn't help but love the wickedness. There's a tiny little evil part of me that almost wanted to cheer for him. He was too good to die, really. But that was the story so it had to happen. Although with the scene were he breaks up into tiny little pieces and flies away, I'm very glad that I wasn't able to watch this in 3D because I didn't need to see that coming flying at me. Just saying.
I am so very, very happy that Neville got to save the day. He's always been the klutz, the bumbler, the one that messes things up. I loved to see him coming into his own and being brave and standing up against the bad guys. Killing Nagini was just the icing on the awesomeness cake that Neville had become. I didn't remember him being in love with Luna but it really fit. Those two are perfect for each other. And Luna is definitely one of my favorite characters because she is so lovably weird. She seems like someone that I would have been very good friends with had we gone to school together.
Over all this movie was perfect. It was beautifully done and absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet seen it. And if you haven't read the book yet, do it. Trust me, you won't regret it. But start from book one, if you haven't. One of the things that I love about this series is that you can't just pick up a book in the middle and know what's going on. You have to read it from the very beginning to know what's happening. J.K. did that brilliantly.
I didn't really like the age progression at the end but it was definitely better than having other actors come in. And to be honest, it looked like they only really age progressed the guys. All they did with Emma and Bonnie was change their hair a bit and they looked older. But the guys needed some computerized help. And poor Daniel looks like he's one of those guys that just thinks about not shaving and has a beard like Hagrid's. They probably had to take a lot of shaving breaks throughout this movie, just so that he could look the way he did. And make up only covers up so much. But I digress.
Go see the movie. Take the time to read the books. Pick a character and fall in love. Be one with the stories. You will not regret it, seriously.

In Plain Sight
So thanks to Netflix view instantly I've been having my own little In Plain Sight marathon. I haven't seen all of the episodes and I wanted to change that. I'm really glad that Netflix view instantly exists at times like these. So that I can just sit down and watch them without having to wait for the discs to come in the mail. Just saying.
I'm very much loving the relationship between Mary and Marshall. They're so close to each other, it's great. Although you'd have to classify it as brother and sister more than anything else. When Marshall got hurt, Mary was really scared and it was obvious that she really cares about Marshall. When Mary was abducted, Marshall looked like he was about to fall apart and he never looks like he's about to fall apart. Very obvious that he really cares about her. It's a fantastic relationship.
I really like the first season of In Plain Sight because we get to see Mary's emotional side. She's a lot more open and emotional in the first season, I think, than in the rest of the show. Maybe that's just me.
I really like Mary because she's a strong, independent woman but she has a feminine side and she doesn't really care what other people think. In my opinion, she's a great role model. Even given her crassness and her need to keep people at a distance, she's smart and funny and strong and isn't required to have a man in her life to be happy.
I also like Marshall because he's a smart guy. He has a mind full of useless facts and I love that. He's a little bit weird but in a kind of cool way and it's really obvious when he cares about someone. Even though he's not very externally emotional, you can just see it. And he's very protective of the people he cares about. Don't get in his way when someone he loves is hurt, because you will regret it. Watching Marshall interview the guy that kidnapped Mary. He looks calm and cool on the outside but just look into his eyes and you can see him visualizing the many different, horrible ways he wants to make this guy suffer for what he did.
The whole cast is amazing and they work well together. Even in the first season it's like they've been working together for years. The chemistry is perfect and the casting director did a great job.
That's all I can really say about the show. It's very well done and better than the original promos led anyone to believe. Everybody should watch it. But start from the beginning.

White Collar
I am really loving this episode of White Collar. Neal and Peter are back into their routine which is awesome. And I love it when Peter gets giddy over stuff.
I did love the conversation between Peter and Savannah about Neal's tracking anklet. That was pretty hilarious. "Are you his grandpa?"
And then when they figured out that it was a treasure map but Peter had a lunch with Elizabeth. Classic.
Elizabeth: "Do you want to grab some mirrors and go play with Neal?" Peter: "Yes."
He's like a little boy sometimes, it's so adorable.
I like seeing Danny Masterson again. He's pretty awesome.
Every single time that Neal and Elizabeth interact it makes me smile, it really does. She's usually on his side but she doesn't quite trust him completely. And I'm loving the look on her face when Neal asked if Satchmo was free. I like that they're not ignoring the dog like they usually do. Satchmo is awesome, just saying.
I tend to use that word a lot, especially in conjunction with this show. Because that's what it is. Awesome.
I like Neal talking to Gelles about getting away with crimes and being prepared to sleep with one eye open. That was very well done. Speaking from experience and all.
And Peter with the little girl again was adorable. I'd love to see Peter with his own kids, really.
I am liking that Neal managed to get information out of the agent from DC, but it was kind of sad how easily he did, though.
Over all the episode was really good and I'm looking forward to see Peter in glasses next week.

Franklin and Bash
I am really loving this show. Although the trailers for the series premier made it look completely ridiculous, it's pretty awesome.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar is very funny and still very good looking. I love how his character, Peter Bash, tries to be serious and adult while still having that immature streak that gets out every now and then. He really can play a jury like a violin and it's great. If he were a real person, I would totally hire Peter Bash. And it definitely doesn't hurt that I've had a crush on MP since his Saved by the Bell days.
Breckin Meyer is hilarious as well. And he's just all around adorable. He doesn't really try to be serious and adult, he just embraces his immature side. It totally works for him, though. I think Jared Franklin would be far less interesting if he wasn't the loveable, immature person that he is. Although sometimes he doesn't know when to be quiet.
I have to say that I'm a bit surprised with some of the things that they're getting away with on this show. Dicks, dickwad, pussy, bullshit, and MP's naked ass. Although I certainly don't have a complaint about that last one. ;-)
Malcolm McDowell is always awesome. That's just all there is to it. I love the eccentricity of his character. He's a great lawyer, and he's a bit crazy. That's all I can say.
I'm really fond of some of the guest stars that are popping up on the show. Great people.
Kathy Nijimy
Gates McFadden (as yet unaired episode)
Fred Willard
Those are the ones I can think of right now anyway. Everyone on the show does a really good job and they work well together. I especially love Dana Davis and Kumail Nanjiani. They're very good. I wish I could come up with a better way of saying it.
Reed Diamond is very good at being annoying and stuck up. Everything he plays, he's always getting on my nerves. He just picks those kinds of characters and he does it very well. I don't know if that's a compliment or not.
Over all I highly recommend this show. Only two episodes in and I'm loving it. That's very rare these days. Usually takes at least three or four episodes to get me hooked.

Malcolm McDowell is always awesome. That's just all there is to it. I love the eccentricity of his character. He's a great lawyer, and he's a bit crazy. That's all I can say.
I'm really fond of some of the guest stars that are popping up on the show. Great people.
Kathy Nijimy
Gates McFadden (as yet unaired episode)
Fred Willard
Those are the ones I can think of right now anyway. Everyone on the show does a really good job and they work well together. I especially love Dana Davis and Kumail Nanjiani. They're very good. I wish I could come up with a better way of saying it.
Reed Diamond is very good at being annoying and stuck up. Everything he plays, he's always getting on my nerves. He just picks those kinds of characters and he does it very well. I don't know if that's a compliment or not.
Over all I highly recommend this show. Only two episodes in and I'm loving it. That's very rare these days. Usually takes at least three or four episodes to get me hooked.

Dr Who: The Almost People
This week's episode, which is one week behind England thanks to Memorial Day, is the second half of the episode from two weeks ago The Rebel Flesh.
It's a pretty interesting episode. The ganger Doctor having to deal with all of the past regenerations was pretty awesome. Got a special kick out of hearing Tom Baker's voice come out of Matt Smith's mouth. The captioning even said (As the 4th doctor) which was kind of awesome.
I think this episode is showing what a lot of the problem with the world is. The problems between the people and the gangers is a lack of understanding. Having two Matt Smiths is pretty interesting, and kind of weird.
I like seeing Rory as a kind of a hero. He's definitely much more useful in these two episodes than he has been in the past. And he's a bit more useful than Mickey was. I really like Rory and I hate that they keep killing him. I'm sure I've said it before but Rory is to Dr Who what Kenny is to South Park. At least that's how it seems. Rory is a protector in this one. Something that Amy doesn't really let him be. She's too independent and strong for him to really be her protector. This time around he's being given that chance.
So many of the problems in this episode would be solved if the humans would just see the gangers as people. It seems to be speaking on racism when it comes down to it. They don't want to believe that the gangers are just like them so they're treating them as lesser beings. Sounds very familiar.
The eyes in the wall was pretty weird looking. That's all I have to say about that bit.
"An hour....five seconds.....somewhere in between." That's a great line, really. Very funny.
Roranicus Pondicus. I love that one too. Lots of good lines for the Doctor.
And poor Rory got tricked by the gangers.
This is all very interesting and confusing. I am liking that the ganger Doctor is acting just like the real Doctor. They are identical in almost every way. It's pretty amazing.
"You're twice the man I thought you were." That's a pretty epic line right there.
And in regard to the ending.......what the hell? That's all I can say. What the hell?
