Another car bites the dust?

*sigh*

It just wouldn't start this morning. It made a funny little noise and wouldn't start. Bill came over and tinkered around, but could only guess that maybe it was the timing belt. He said that like it was a really really bad thing. I have a call in to an unemployed ex mechanic who might work on it. I am so tired of car problems and simply haven't got the money to put in to one more frickin car. This one isn't even paid off yet. Was I too optimistic to think this might be the car that I keep for more than a year?

I JUST FIGURED IT OUT. It's the tires. Every car that I have lost, at least since moving to Michigan, died shortly after I gave it new tires. All of them swear to god. Motherfucker.

Good thing that no one is advising you to set it on fire and collect the insurance money. Good thing. :)

I have the same problem with cars. Some of us just have bad car-ma. We maintain them and replace tires and get tune ups and the cars ALWAYS have ridiculously expensive problems before they're paid off. I know other people who don't even get oil changes who keep their cars for twelve years or more. People like us should just buy $500 beaters and replace them every year.

stepho - how long have you just been waiting for the opportunity to use the word "car-ma"?? :)

That really sucks.
If you need to borrow my car for a while you can. I can take Aaron to work and my dad can take him home after work.
Lemme know.
