Grr. I've had to make a number of car repairs in the last three months, and I thought I was finally done with them last week, when I had a defective starter replaced (for free; I'd been prepared to spend $600 to get a new flywheel). Well, today I smelled something funny in the car, a smell I'd noticed before. Only this time I saw little wisps of smoke. Coming from my dashboard. Yikes!
So, I can't drive the car until I'm able to get it into the shop Friday morning, and of course the shop can't tell what's wrong until they pull the dashboard off and try and find whatever it is that's shorting out. Labor is $58/hour...let's just pray that the problem is obvious, parts are relatively inexpensive, and that it's not a time-intensive repair. Oh, how I want a different car...and oh, how I just can't afford it.

That is a big bummer.
