over the time period  i have owned my dead aunt ‘s car…   when i received ownership of  this car after a very mixed up situation with the gold Mercedes 300 I had purchased from my father.

the last  check of the Mercedes… an entire story of its own… very mixed up and not in my favor at all…. but the entire repairs for the Mercedes may have been  an entirely different scam that went on for many years.  Of course at my expense.. and the expense of any of my family members who assisted in trying  to make sure i had a working vehicle… and cost everyone a lot of money…..

back to the Saturn:  the Saturn i received from  my father on behalf of my cousin Tommy had been barely used. It had 3 new tires and no damage on the exterior or interior.   After I  owned the car for a short  while   i went to get my hair cut at bamboo which was an Aveda salon.  It  was a last minute decision as i was purchasing products to get my hair cut  I had to set up the  apt  for a few hours later that day. and ended up having my hair cut by a woman from  ohio…. i was not happy with the haircut and went immediately to the ritz to get it fixed…. the woman had cut my hai r  like Erin Donavan’s bob hair cut when i had a picture of  an original hair cut i had wanted… I bought products  there since a friend of mine  Patti Berndt used to sell those products on the other coast when Maura and Pattie lived near each other while Maura was in law school.   

while i was in that parking lot..someone must have brushed up against my car  car with their wheel…or with a bumper… or something because there was a spot of paint removed from the passenger side of  the car…    this is how i know there are two different cars… both green Saturn Vue… and both with a gray  material interior… but the   rubbed off paint… one car ( actually the one i have in my possession right now… is very low on the passenger door and is smaller… and the irregular shape of the  removed paint is a different pattern  and its edges though they are  are sharp edges…  are  different from the other car….    i had mentioned that i had also had no dag and at one point in time i  had a car with dog hairs… another distinguishing feature is that one of the cars takes a long time from the engine to stop when you are out of the car..it seems to keep going.. almost as if a fan was continuing long after the are had been turned off and the keys removed… approx. as long as it takes to get out of the car….and walk to the front of the  car! 

Before  when i  was driving  my car  it  would turn off when you turned off the ignition… immediately… I  remember that this had started to happen when   one evening i went to Publix and was surprised to see a man get out of his silver Cherokee and took out a box of tools when i was starting to walk into  the grocery store.. I didn’t say anything  to the man and just thought it very odd that a man was taking out a yellow and black tool box in an almost empty  parking lot. I did mention  it to the  people at Publix  after i stated up the  car and it was different starting and stopping…  and by that time i was finished shopping and had turned on the car and driven to the bank and turned off the car..and noticed the changes…  this average looking but short guy in his silver Cherokee was gone. 

another difference is the tires…  and then of course  the mileage… i  have to know  keep track of the mileage… and the gas  in the car…  and  when the  black spot on the  passenger side door changes…. 

at the present  time  the spot of paint removed is one inch from the bottom of the  car door.. and 25 inches down from the top of the car door…  it is 11 inches  in from the left side of the  door:  and it is  26 and 1/2 inches in from the right side of the door.  It is a bit like the shape of the united stated and the spot itself is 3 inches wide at the  right hand side end which is the widest  point and 2 inches from the left hand side at the smallest point…. 

also one of the cars actually  has a little leak of some  yellow/greenish liquid…  a very small leak but i can see when there are new spots on the garage  floor…

also there is a very light small pink scratch that is the middle of the drives 2nd back door that is 7 and 1/2 inches long

the tires were all new… and in the car i have now.. three of the tires have pretty low tread…. don’t  know how since i am rarely using my car and haven’t gone on any long  road trips…

 so the other day when i went to go babysit at Trianon in Bonita springs… .. and  the manager told me there was no parking by the room where i was sitting… that  is when i noticed this car back in my possession….   that it wasn’t driving the dame and noticed the spot not being the same…. and of course the tires and the  extra fan that lasts approx 10  seconds after turning off the car… by the way… the second night i parked  by the room so I  could keep an  eye on my car
