I hate cars (Part 2)

The car placed called. Of course they always have good news and bad news right?

GOOD NEWS! The guys that did the oil change on the car last week must have knocked off one of the air intake valves causing pressure to drop and the engine to stall....easy fix....little bit of labor and $77.

BAD NEWS...My barrings are going out on both front tires. Yes I know, sneaky sneaky they always find something right? But, a few months back we were told the same thing by the guys at Pep Boys but I decided at that point not to do anything about it. Not quite sure what barrings do but I guess if they went out completely basically the tires would fall off and I would crash my car and it wouldn't be fun, or cheap.

So $1023.29 later, my car should run like a champ. I am kindly excepting donations if anyone is interested. DAMN.

I feel your pain! This was us last week: cracked head gasket-$1200, new exhaust-$500, blower resistor motor (like I even know what this is!)-$200, oil change-$20. I can give you sympathy, but no cash...sorry. :-(

You can't put your foot in your mouth after speaking the cold, hard truth! I am leaning toward the very un-sexy new minivan.
