Augh! Stupid Car!!!
So I guess I get to say JW was right.
![]() I paid off my car last month- and today it went into the shop. -left outer tie-rod has failed -steering is failing -needs an alignment -passenger rear air shock has blown -rear wiper motor is out -and I need an oil change I am going to do the tie-rod, steering, alignment and oil change. The others are not safety issues and can wait for a while. So I am going to be out around $700 for this. Augh augh augh! *sigh* oh well, I'm still going to Disneyland this weekend- so all is well. |

Sorry about your car.
We had plans to go to Scandinavia this summer but unexpected car expenses put the kabosh on that. A doofus ran a red light at 35 mph smack! into our Jeep (hubbo hurt a bit but now fine, daughter not hurt) last October. |

Seems March is not the month for cars. My condolences Nephy, I can certainly sympathize and I know MouseWife can as well!

LOL I can but how did you know? Man, I was going through my receipts and found a stack of them for work we had done on our van. Oh my gosh, it seemed whenever we had the mere thought of some extra money...the car came a whining. I probably should have kept it, considering it was paid for and sat 7 {the reason I am sitting here today and the kiddos all went to Disneyland, PTCruiser only sits 5 ![]() Car troubles, and worse because of the weather {in a lot of areas}. I wish you luck that it isn't as bad as you think. Sucks your trip was put off, 3894.
