Driving the boat

My Shitzuki is in the shop again. I swear I hate that car. Long story short: bought brand new in 2005, replaced transmission six months later, replaced transmission another six months later, transmissions problem again but "fixed" after hooking it up to a computer, a/c breaks and rattles, a/c replaced but doesn't cool, a/c replaced again but doesn't cool. So my craptastic car is currently in Marietta as mechanics try their best to figure out what's wrong with it. Meanwhile I'm driving a maw maw car (aka Ford Taurus) that drives like a boat. All the parts are in the wrong place. The lights are on the dash. The gear shifty thing is attached to the steering wheel instead of in between the front seats like my car. It only has a tape player. Who has tapes anymore? Blah!
