pimp my ride

I'm finally noticing that the bug needs some serious work, and now I need to figure out how to make that happen given my current Utterly And Completely Freaked Out state.

My cute little green beetle needs a new windshield (thank you, big open-topped truck full of whatever smacked into my windshield on 880), a new headlight bulb so it will stop being called Winky by the other bugs, and some quantity of brake work, including replacing the fuse or switch dealie that makes the car realize that the brake is down and it's ok to shift out of Park. Apparently this was the subject of a recall at one point, before I had the car, so I'm wondering if the work was ever done. Considering the number of Hello Kitty decals I found inside the trunk and glove compartment when I bought the car, I have my doubts about the previous driver.

You know, whereas I have big daisies in the dashboard vase and a Jesus on a Spring on the dashboard and a 10" crack in the windshield in front of the passenger seat and a burned-out headlight because I'm a big grownup.
