I Have a Boat and Can't Get to the Water

That's right, I have a boat and can't get it to the water. Why? I guess it's because I can't find a bolt on hitch to attach a trailer to mu Mitsubishi sedan. Does Mitsubishi have a suggestion? Why yes, they do, buy a Mitsu SUV! Wrong answer. For some reason my car has been bewitched with issues because it's a hybrid car. No, it's not a battery or mixed fuel beast but rather a car created between two production years, 1997 and 1998. I wanted an alarm installed right after I bought the car and nothing would match up in the electrical system. Why? I guess it's because it's a 1998 electrical system and that wiring diagram did work. My a/c compressor died 2 years ago and, you guessed it, the exact replacement didn't even come close to fitting the bracket. Even the dealership couldn't explain it. My brakes? Two front disc and two rear drum. What's wrong with that? The rear brakes were never set. 3 years into owning the car and the brake mechanic said there was no wear on the shoes or drums but the rotors were all warped for the 6th time. Back to my boat. Why they can't make trailer hitches that fit smaller cars that want to pull smaller boats or trailers I can't understand unless they figure that if you go to back up to launch a boat the brakes will fail since they don't engage and the car will become a boat, or worse a submarine! Next vehicle is a small pick up truck, not a Mitsu one either! True story my friends, it's too weird to make up, just like life.
