I now have AAA renewed, and my car sits in the shop, waiting for that final estimate, so far sitting at 2000 for this visit. But, could be worse. I'm merely hoping that when I get the phone call on Monday there is no additional bad news, honest Mr. Mechanic, I can't afford it!

$2000 is still better than 5 years of car payments.


See, the glass IS half full! ;)

:D Believe me, I'm not complaining, just hoping it's not more of a hit. And, you are 100% right, much better than another 5 years of car payments. In fact, as of Monday, I will officially have 3 more car payments. Come July I will be hosting a bonfire, to burn the payment coupon books.

Le sigh, $2400 for the car today.
I will be happy to have it back, I'm grateful only 3 more car payments, I have a current AAA card.
But still, can I just say ouch. $875 for repairs in March, another $250 for analysis and now $2400. I could have gone to someplace really fun on that money! ;)

So let me say this loud and clear OUCH

Yes, but now you can drvie somewhere fun!

My car is in the shop today as well. It's just getting regular service and figuring out why it was idling so poorly. But, I don't expect anything major. Or, I hope it's not anything major. It shouldn't be.

Ooo, I would definitely say ouch.

I pray to the mechanical Gods in your favor NA. May your wagon roll on for many miles, hassle free and may all the repairs be minor.

There's an obscure Adam and the Ants song called "Car Trouble" and it's been going through my head for days. I'm sorry it is so obscure and that others won't have this joy I feel.

okay, now I am depressed. New starter motor, new total $2700.

I'm done, stick a fork in me.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, Snowflake.
