Automotive Bulima

Although my little Ms. Focus gets 25mpg on most trips, it appears to still have a problem with Automotive Bulima. It often consumes mass amounts of gasoline within short amounts of time. This is then followed by purging of said gas, as exhaust, during commute traffic and other times when the car is running.

Her health situation is affecting her, myself, and a bank account. Said bank account, that prefers to remain nameless, is upset in this situation as Ms. Focus is using her on a constant basis. Said bank account feels used and over worked; not a good way to continue a relationship. Said bank account is also continual state of feeling and actually being drained of all use. 


As owner of Ms. Focus it is my duty to ensure she is up to date on all necessary checkups and free of leaks or problems. To date she is all up to date and no leaking is taking place, I even checked her blinker fluid as rumor has it that cars often leak from their blinker unknowingly. I have exhausted all possible efforts in order to resolve this problem; going the speed limit, not accelerating with a lead foot, and using her mostly for freeway situations.

Often, in relationships, people trade one in for another type. This is usually a very emotional time for all involved, but sometimes it is necessary. Ms. Focus may not be able to speak or hear but if I casually mention several hundred times that I may replace her with a younger model, she may pick up her attitude and address the problem. She might not. She may take my threats to heart and give up by taking matters into her own hands; I pray it does not come to that.

The first step is getting Ms. Focus to admit she has a problem, this may prove to be difficult as she is an inadament object and thus lacks the ability to converse. To be continued.....
