A car is like a child…
...in that it is expensive to take care of one.
Today (or Thursday, rather), I took the lone car to the mechanic and dropped roughly $320 for an oil change, a check for a leak, and replacing transmission fluid lines. I was also there for 4 hours. Fortunately for me, I brought the new purse along and sewed a longer strap to it with fishing line.
I fear that there will be a repeat of last year, when I sink over a grand into a car, just to have it need about $3k more in work, and is better off being turned into a pop can than fixed.
Good [diety], I can not deal with anymore car issues. Give me something else to work on.
Now to bed.
