I don't know why, but I'm always the most upset after minor inconveniences. Today is another example of that, I broke my car door handle on accident because my door was frozen. This normally wouldn't be an issue but my car is obscure. It's a Chevrolet, which isn't obscure but its model is unusual, and fairly unheard of. So much so that I've been to an auto shop, I give the make and model, and I get a puzzled look.
It's not a huge deal, it's not even the front doors, it's the rear driver door and I can't find the right color (white), all I can find is black and chrome.
The worst part is it could've been avoided. I could've just went to the other side and opened the door which I had to do after breaking the handle. The biggest insult is that that door wasn't stuck at all. So basically, my door handle broke because I'm a fucking idiot, and now I can't find another part to fix it. My best bet might be a junk yard or car scrap yard, we were able to find an engine for my car there. I suppose I could have mix match parts but I don't want that, I've always prided myself in how clean I keep my car, but it's slowly going worse through no fault of mine (literally no fault, other people scratching it, and a lot of other stuff from my family, like them riding a lawnmower over gravel nearby which lodged a rock in the side, damaging the paint and leaving a small rock-sized hole that didn't go all the way through). I'll accept responsibility for the things I did do like the door handle but Jesus, I can't wait until I can afford a new car which might not be any time soon.
