Aunt Astra need cosmetic surgery

I had an appointment at NAF today, for a periodic vehicle inspection. The one that has to be done every two years. Some men in dirty clothes check your car to a list, and if you have class 1 errors your car will be approved, but you are advised to fix it quickly. If you have class 2 error the car will not be approved and you have to fix the car within a given time and get it to a second inspection. If you have a class 3 error, I don't know what happens, but since it's obviously worse than class 2, I have a feeling they won't let you drive the car if isn't straight to a mechanic.

This is my second inspection since I got my licence, and the second time Aunt Astra failed. This time I apparently have dangerous rust in something I think is called channels, at the back of the car on the right, a class 2 error. According to my dad, the channels are part of what holds the car together, so I suppose that is quite dangerous.

It sounds very expensive. But I have sent a text to one of my uncles, and dad said he'd ask one of my other uncles, and I guess we'll see who'll accept first. If they can do it that is.

And here's a picture of Aunt Astra, in need of cosmetic surgery:

^Isn't she cute? (Strange, the relationships people have with their cars...)

I had a couple other errors too, but only class 1. The light that lights up the license plate doesn't work, and the parking lights are dead. But Aunt Astra's had those errors for Merlin knows how many years now. But as I drove home today, I thought about it. And why on earth it hasn't been fixed before. I've only had the car for 3 years, mom and dad had it for several years before that. So I will get those lights fixed now, not perhaps in time for the after inspection, but I will have it fixed before October 2011, when the next inspection will take place.

Now I'm off to watch the rest of the video from the online class I missed on Monday (apparently there were more students showing up for the streaming than ever before, and they found out the hard way that the classroom didn't support that many participants, so I was a little bit too late) and after that I'm gonna watch Wolverine! It came out on dvd here in Norway on Wednesday, and I bought it today after the inspection.

Love that movie! And it doesn't hurt that Hugh Jackman is stark naked in it. He even said in an interview that it was all him. Every scene where that gorgeous naked body is shown, apparently when he jumps down that waterfall too.

Okay, I'll leave now, before I drool down the keyboard.
