ironía cruel de la vida…

ironía cruel de la vida means life’s cruel irony.
Today, me and my family went to see my very first car. a ’90 dodge shadow. You see, not barley a month ago.. I turned that car over to my dad for I got betsie. Well, today we went to see her, she was at an auto salvage place. Boy, I didnt even suspect the damage. The lights were burned out, EVERY hose, wire, wirecover, cap, piece of rubber within that engine compartment was completley melted. It was pretty gruesome. I mean, I have had alot of memories with that car. Alot, and besides that. When my uncle passed away, he had been smoking and somehow the engine caught fire. As soon as my father lifted the hood and revelead the naked engine, it brought awful memories as to when I saw my uncles truck. It was horrible. But after the air cleared, and everybody calmed down. I just had to laugh. My parents argued that nothing was funny, although they too showed a smile, they argued that there was nothing to be happy about. I beg to differ. There is alot to smile about. Not only has it been a great car for the past 12 years, we have gotten our money’s worth out of that car. It was a great car. But to get on with it, there was ton’s to be happy about. Had I still been driving it, I probabley would have paniced, opened my door, unlatch my seat belt and left the car without turning it off, which could have been potentially disatorous(sp?) becuase it still would have been feeding the fire more gas… So in a sense, we were all glad that my father was the one driving it, becuase he rationally used a fire extenguisher(sp?) to put it out. It had burned so hot that even the glove compartment box was a little melted. That close… any further and things could have been a hell of alot worse then they are. Also, why be mad upset or angry? Why curse, or kick shout scream or cry? What good would that do to better the situation? Not a whole lot.. I figure, we all are lucky that it didn’t happen to us, and my father is lucky becuase he controlled the situation well It was really weird I must say, seeing it, nothing but the metal parts exposed. No rubber, wires or anything. We also went by the parking lot in which it had origonally set fire. Smoke stains and rubber globs (where parts were melted) were still there. It was kind of spooky
