Mills props open his trunk using his handy-dandy PVC pipe. -
Thursday, November 18, 2004 By Amber Weber
Even though this month’s Heap does not yet deserve a name, Junior Tommy Mills’ vehicle is still heap material.
Approximately a year ago, Mills had finally saved up enough money to buy some sort of vehicle to get him from point A to point B. After Tommy’s parents had haggled down the price a bit, the deal was closed.
It is not really how the car came into his possession, it is the “malfunctions” that makes this car heap material.
Besides the paint job, containing a lovely blue and green spot on the front hood, as well as random “splotches” of worn paint, you could say that his vehicle is “mechanically challenged” as well.
The passenger side door makes a funny “clunk” sound when opening. If you want to chat with Mills when he is in his car, he can only roll one window up and down at a time, and there are no front shocks. These are just a few of the problems, so far.
Depending on whether or not Mills’s car is in a good mood or not, the trunk does not always shut. While on the topic of Mills’s trunk, there is yet another malfunction with that! In order to keep the trunk door open, one must use the handy, dandy PVC pipe.
On a trip to Michigan, Mills got into a horrible accident. As a result of the accident, his door is broken and the upper right side of his car is now a little shifted back.
While Mills was driving to a friend’s house, he heard a funny, flapping noise. When he got out to see what it was, he saw nothing. About two blocks later, his car went “boom”. When they got out to check out what the problem was, the tire was half way off of the wheel. This incident worked out to Mills’s advantage, in the end, and he received a new set of tires.
So, let us regroup here. Mills’s car “just looks like crap” according to him. Also, his “car with no name” is mechanically challenged and his trunk and door need an attitude adjustment.
