You know you need a new car when.....

You know you need a new car when...

*You pull over to let a fire truck go by, and it stops behind you.

*You have to go to a repair center every thousand miles to get the duct tape replaced.

*You accidentally drive into a junkyard, drive out, and get accused of stealing.

*The Blue Book lists your car under "Health Risk."

*The only thing holding your bumper on is the "Bush/Quayle '88" sticker.

*You return to your car and find someone broke in and left a hundred dollars and a new stereo.

*Hitchhikers refuse a free lift.

*The valet puts on a crash helmet and full-body armor before parking your car.

Hey- I grew up in Northcentral Iowa. I attended Iowa State University where I received a B.A. Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and had an emphasis on Child and Family Studies. I moved to Storm Lake in 2008 to work for the Pilot-Tribune, after working for a daily paper in Nebraska. When I'm not busy typing like a mad woman, peering from behind a camera lens or interviewing all sorts of new and exciting people, you can probably find me rollerblading/biking the paved paths of Storm Lake, strumming out a few notes on my guitar, walking numerous dogs all at once in Newell. I am also a member of Faith Bible, a member of the Shayla Bee family, the SL Kiwanis and a longtime member of the Twizzlers Annonymous Support group. Wink Wink.
