I paid $500 for my car

[norml]

And it was $100 too expensive at that.

It's a 1988 Cutlass Ciera.

I bought it in a hurry because I had to be to work.

Of course it's cost me a bit more money since then.

[enigmatic]

1. How much Bondo is on it?

I've seen cars that's more bondo than metal...

[norml]

2. No Bondo, but I have fixed the brakes, the shocks, the tie rod, and the

radiator.

Next I'll have to fix the radio, and replace the cracked windshield.

[enigmatic]

3. Gotta have a radio

How's your show going? I've heard you talk about it..

[norml]

5. The radio works sometimes, if I bang on the dashboard.

The show is going well, better organized each time.

I printed out articles to reference this time, rather than having them written out by hand.

I think I will take fewer articles, and read less of them next week, in order to leave more time for editorializing.

I've still got some technical roughness to overcome, but I'm liking what I've got going in content.

4. THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR (Bottle Rockets)

Thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit.
Might as well take your $1000,
and set fire to it.
$1000 car ain't worth a dime,
You lose your $1000 every time.
Oh why did I ever buy, a $1000 car.

$1000 car is gonna let you down,
More than it's ever gonna get you around.
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust,
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust.
$1000 car's life was through,
'bout 50,000 miles 'fore it got to you.
Oh why did I ever buy a $1000 car

A $1000 car ain't even gonna roll,
til you throw at least another thousand in the hole.
Sink your money in it, and there you are
the owner of a 2,000 dollar 1,000 dollar car.
(guitar solo)

If you've only got a $1000.
You ought to just buy a good guitar.
Learn how to play it it'll take you farther,
than any old $1000 car.
If a $1000 car was truly worth a damn,
then why would anybody ever spend ten grand.
Oh why did I ever buy, a thousand dollar car.
1000 Dollar Car
