Grrrr. My stinkin' car broke down this morning for the second time in 3 weeks. I'm so angry. It's the battery that died both times, but there are things wrong with the car causing the battery to be drained and die. This is killing me because we just don't have the money to pour into the car to fix it. We're on the verge of asking a member of DH's family to loan us money for a down payment and trade in our car.

I was so proud ot pay this stinkin' car off and now it breaks down!!!! I was so happy to not have any kind of car payment for the next few months until we were ready to get another one...and now that's probably over. And I also have to figure out how to work a car payment back into our budget.

OK I just needed to vent :( Thanks for listening!

Aren't cars aggrevating? My DH got rid of a car because it started to need too much work on major things (like the transmission) even though it was only three years old. It was like the car was cursed and needed lots of mechanic attention.
You may have already done this, but if your battery keeps dying, check the alternator. Its what keeps the battery charged.
Good luck,
