I'm not superstitious but maybe I should be. Last night on the way home my check engine light came on. Still on this morning so I take it in. They tell me $100 to tell me what is wrong. What choice do I have? So they phone me and its a problem with the tube to the gas tank and lid, its rusted and needs to be replaced. $300. Crap. They can leave it but the light will be on all the time and I won't know if its something else wrong. So I say fine, go ahead. Then they phone me again and seems they found $1300 worth of other stuff that needs done. It would be $1800 for the day. Ummmm. My car is 10 years old and I was just hoping it would last another year I am NOT spending 6 months car payments to fix it when I spent $1200 in February. So I told him forget it, put it back together, all of it and I'll be looking for a new car. Its not dangerous in anyway, the things they wanted to fix are not going to cause it to explode or anything. In fact some people said its likely not even to the point that it NEEDS some of it done so I am going to start looking for a new car and drive the thing until it dies a good death. I'm not putting any more money into it. Sigh. So I guess I have to start seriously car shopping. I'm just annoyed because I wanted a hybrid and with moving the purchase date up I really can't afford payments that high along with other loan payments I have. So not a great day.


On the upside, I returned a pair of capris that we bought for Kristen's birthday party. Well, we bought two pair of white capris because she didn't know which pair she liked. There is supposed to be no returns after 14 days but I said it was a birthday present and not our fault so she let me exchange them. I got her some stretchy skinny jeans but if she doesn't like those we can exchange them this weekend. So not all bad, but kind of a stressful afternoon as I wass trying to figure out what to do about the car.
