| My crazy cars... |
| nicknames: ghetto car, piece of crap, junk, Toni, |
| Our story: The first time i saw Toni, I fell in love. There he was, for sale, at a garage sale for 350 $, a old dogde colt, rust and all. So, my dad bought him but he only stayed with my parents for the summer. It wasnt long till i bought Toni off my parents for 100$ |
| So, lets break it down, what didnt work on TONI? -i had to start it in neutral -i had to stop it in reverse or else it kept runnin -one of the door s handdle was broken so u hadta unwind the window to close the door from the inside -je ne pouvais pas barrer mes portes parce que la clé était trop faible pour les ouvrir -my demister didnt work so in winter the front passsenger had to hold up a piece of cardboard to demist the windshield -i had to plug it in every night so that i could use it -my tape player didnt work -i didnt have a cigaret lighter so forget about a portable CD player -my speakers didnt work so the music of the radio came out of somewhere in the middle in the front - il y avait un trou du coté du passager avec un courant d'air qui passait -my muffler had been fixed but still made a lot of noise -En tournant, on entendait:KLOK KLOK KLOK -the front left part over the front wheel was about to fall off because of the rust -pas de brake a bras -i only had one mirror -if u sat in the middle back, u had these pieces of metal that stabbed u in the butt -there was a hudge crack in the windshield |
| Le nom...Toni was named after Freddy Prince Junior who played in Money King as a guy named Toni, so Hannah and I thought that my car was as cool as Freddy Prince Junior and so we named him Toni also |
| Altho Toni has passed away in spring 2001, je me souviendrai de lui comme mon premier amour |

| Type: Dogde Colt 1987 |
| Premièrement, meet my first car, Toni (1998-2001) |
 |
| The MAMA VAN (spring 2001-fall 2002) |
| Notre histoire: des amis a mes parents n'en voulaient plus alors ils me l'a donné. We had to fix it for about 1000$ to have it pass the road test. Mais ca a passé! So i was the proud owner of the mama van. On en mettait du monde là-dedans!!! et avec ca, mon surnom: Mamamelissa. The advantage: makes some great road trips to Ottawa on Canada Day :) |
| type: Chrysler Voyager, 1988 |
| She didnt have that many problems, but in fall 2002, i couldnt afford her gas anymore so i sold her for 440$ to a friend of a friend. I heard she died not long after i sold her, (désolé Mike) but may she rest in peace. I think Mike doesnt like me so much anymore. Je ne vendrai plus d'autos a des amis!!! |
| And last but not least, TOYA (fall 02- fall 04) |
| The story behind Toya - My dad bought Toya when i was working thinking it was a good deal. I was looking for something moins de 1000$. She was exactly that amount. 1989 toyota Corolla. So he bought her. Then the probs came. Premièrement, the clutch burnt out. Expensive repair. |
 |
| Then Nadia had an accident with it. not her fault. Some guy ran into us in a parking lot. He was on the main road not looking and we were on one of those small entries and he hit Toya's front left part. I wasnt insured (long story) so i had to fix my car for 750$ (my garagist does miracles). But then i got a bill for HIS damage. 6670.41$. Something like that. I think i fainted. But God provided somehow with a lil over 4000$ from donations of ppl i love and i negotiated the price of damages to 5000$. God is great |
