The car situation

This is an ongoing fiasco.

She's got a big silver Malibu. One day, I notice the airbags are hanging out of the steering wheel and passenger side. I think to myself, should I ask her what happened? Nah, she's probably got a good excuse for it.

Now, I see her driving this car for two weeks with the bloody airbag hanging out. What the? Instead of fessing up to her insurer and paying a $200 deductable, she DUCT TAPES the bags back into the steering wheel and dash.

Oi.

Now, fine, maybe you can't afford to get your car fixed right this minute.. but then she gets another car. This one is a Hyundai something or other boxy looking thing. She starts parking the crashed car in the front of the building. This prompts the caretakers to post a sign saying "Tennates who park in front will be towed", spelled just like that.

So what does she do? She starts parking AGAINST the utility shed out back in the parking lot. This is a no parking zone, and she keeps parking her car directly against the wall of the shed. I wish I had thought of that, I'd be saving 20 bucks a month on a parking stall.

Here's the kicker, when she moves the car, there is fluid leaking from many places under the hood. The snow under her car's front end looks like a maxi pad on a heavy flow day with all of the black oil and red transmission fluid that has been leaking out of her car.

We can only hope that there is brake fluid in that mix too.
