Price of 3 tow truck lifts to car yard over last 3 weeks - $450.
Price of car to fix -$1,200.
Price of extended new car warranty -$2000


Look on my face when the car broke down again today....

.............PRICELESS..............

P.S...And I apologize to the Dude in the car that was parked beside me...So UN-lady like of me to use the "F" word in no less then...lets say.... 34 times in a sentence...

Let's see the Guinness book of records score that !...

Oh and to my car.....Two words....Fire and insurance....

Oooh, shitty (for lack of a better word, hehe)...

This IS your new car right? Or am I missing something?

And honey, if only I lived on your side of the world...Ellery and I would pick you up and drive you anywhere you want to go!

Love and hugs :)

And let me know if you'd like me to send you some lighter fluid and a box of matches :)

So sorry for your car troubles. I know how that feels. I had a lemon once. I should have known when the wheel broke off on the highway. First and only time I drove with only three wheels.

Hey I remember reading about your car...Did you trade it ?

Now if I am correct AU is surrounded by water right? Isn't there is a hill you could park at the top of, get out and "forget" to put on the emergency brake. From what I understand drowning a car isn't illegal. OR, you could park it with the keys in it and the doors unlocked and hope some sucker steals it and inherits your problem :)

That just sucks!!!

Wednesday morning my car went on the fritz while I was flying down the interstate doing 80 mph. I about died when the car screamed at me and a bright red STOP came across the dash. Holy sh*t!

It ended up being the water pump and cost $800 to fix. Sometimes I wonder if it's better to get a new car:)

Dodi said...

I feel your pain! I just had an $1100 repair bill. I HATE paying for car repairs. It just seems like such a stupid way to spend our money!

GRRRRRRRR.

Dodi said...

OK, plus? No apologies should be necessary for the egregious dropping of the F-bomb. Perfectly ressonable response to what happened. I find the dropping of the F-bomb to be practically theraputic.

Is there any other way to react?

Rock Chef said...

Jeez, and people ask me why I don't have a car!

Maybe you should threaten to park it in the way of a Land Train - things have a way of understanding this sort of thing...

Don't feel bad about the f-words - "Oh my Gosh" doesn't cut it sometimes!
