Oh God...

You know life sucks right now, and everything is just piling on top of itself right now. Let me tell you a little story about my bad luck with cars.
I'll start with my first car, a sturdy escort that I was going to buy off of my father when I got my license, couple of years old and it gets hit by a drunk driver. All is not lost we fix it, but wait did you know escorts are one of the easiest cars to be stolen? I didn't! My car was stolen from in front of my house then used in the armed...yes ARMED robbery of a barber shop, but we got it back and fixed it again.
Now I finally buy the car from my dad, it is officially mine now, but I don't have my license yet a month before I get my license a tornado (You can't make this stuff up!) in NEW JERSEY (We get them very rarely) two streets from my house knocks down a tree. Said tree crosses two property lines to land on my car. Why?! Sigh but we get that fixed up by our selves the insurance company saying it was an act of God even when the tree was rotted through and through. OK so my car is A ok!
Take it to college, now this IS my fault, I accidentally panic during an immensely foggy night crash into a concrete light pole, the car is now totaled.
I get another car a pre-owned Neon. I loved this car! It had air conditioning, my old car didn't and power windows! Have it for a semester, take it home for Christmas, Dad takes a look at it. Well when you go back to college don't drive it. I need to replace a belt in the car. So for another semester (three months) I am carless. Hey we're almost up to date! Take it home, Dad tinkers with it. I need to find a job...which I still don't have. Why won't anyone hire me? I ask him if the car is ok to drive around a little to get applications. He says OK, so I drive it not too far and on the way back home the battery light comes on. Well, I am right around the block of my home so I figure I'll just drive it back park it and leave it for my dad to look at. I park it in the drive way and it starts to smoke...call my dad ( well outside of my car) and I watch it ignite. Run to my grandmothers which is down the street, call 911. Come back and it has 6 foot flames, this is where I collapse into tears and hysterics. Well to cut things short I am left with a crispy car and the pitying looks of very attractive cops and firemen, while I am a teary mess.
Third car we just got, it's a lemon. I got my hopes up and I find out that if I were to drive this one things would not go well. So here is how I stand, No Car, No Job, Self-esteem is pretty low, Can't visit boyfriend, can't earn money for car or up coming trip to England, hell even a passport is too far out of my financial means. Life sucks...but hey I guess I got my health right? I have a right to be frustrated right? If my life wasn't so far spread I would be ok with no car but I'm in a location where I need a car. I don't care what I get just something that will take me where I need to go and not burst into flames or leave me stranded or dead...yeah not being dead is top here.
I'm thinking of starting one of those sites that begs people to donate money to my cause but I'd feel too bad for that. There are so many better things to donate to... Any suggestions would be great right now. And until I am a bit better I'm gonna have to hold off on things, RL just is too ugh...yeah too ugh.
