Anya ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My first car (that was mine) was also a Dodge Omni! The clutch cable broke in stop-and-go traffic on Route 128 outside of Boston, and I had to power-shift for quite some way. It was a terrible car.
I had a nice trip to the mountains and now I have to clean the house and prep to spend the week dog-sitting. Bah.
Dodge Omni!
First car triplets!

Oh my word. I don't know where outside of Boston, but 128 is generally a nightmare. You're lucky to be alive.
It was a terrible car.
In the winter, the door locks would all freeze up and I'd have to get in through the hatch, which didn't stay open because the struts would fail.

That's awesome. (Terrible, but awesome). I once drove a Pinto with a hole in the rear floor which had rotted away, and every time you hit a pothole the glove compartment would pop open, and the horn would fall off into your lap. It was entertaining.
My car had locking problems. I also had to roll down the window to let myself out!
But hatchbacks are underrated. I moved so much stuff in that car!
I love hatchbacks (when they stay open). My WV was a hatchback, as is my current Fit. Before I had a car of my own I had a summer-long babysitting job where the parents let me use their old VW bug. It had bits that fell off the steering wheel column, and whenever the other keys on the chain would swing against it they made contact with something electric and the horn would go off.
I love hatchbacks too. I even love station wagons. They are so useful when you need to haul around some bulky stuff, but without the gas mileage hit you take with a SUV. I have a Ford Escort station wagon for a little bit and it was amazing how much stuff could fit in that little car.
First car triplets!
Quadruplets! And yeah, it sucked. I did;'t have mine long.
My second car was a Dodge Omni. I thought overall it ran well for having been rear-ended several times (once by a van that hit me hard enough it warped the frame and one of the back doors became almost impossible to close). But the AC broke down one component at a time, and ended up costing me about twice as much as just replacing the whole thing in one go would have.
