Auto Annoyance

Yesterday was a fun day in the auto world for us yesterday.

I got up for work early and was at work at 9am. Katy was off yesterday and I thought about taking the truck because I'm kind of nice once in a while and let her take the car on her errands and activities. But as usual, I only leave 7 minutes to get to work and just rushed to my car. I got in it and reminded myself I needed air in my tire on the drivers side.

At about 2:15 I went to lunch to chat with Katy for a few minutes and find her stranded, luckily, in the mall parking lot. Her serpentine belt blew out; oh great. Didn't we just take this truck in not more than 10 days ago and fill it with $380 dollars of hard earned, unexpected money? Well, we're due for more and that was pretty frustrating. It sits at J&B Eurotech at this moment with a bill due soon, once they get a look at it tomorrow. She saw the truck off as it was towed away and took my car home, only to pick me up later.

Well, at 5:30pm another adventure ensued. Katy picked me up and somehow I had been driving what would be a screw in my tire for a few days. I noticed it slowly deflating but just figured it was just time to fill them up again. Great! Another how much money down the tubes? Ugh. Well, luckily Katy was off today and took it in to be repaired. Luckily it was only about $30 to repair it and we're 1/2 way back in business.

Those autos, no wonder why my dad never spent much money on cars. One moment it's the last thing on your mind and the next they're at you again for half a thousand dollars.

So Dad, does anyone have a good car for sale at Elim Park? I'd like to start the looking.
