Grr Car Grr

Here has been the recent events with my car....

1. Few weeks ago my car battery dies and needs to be replaced. The night when I'm supposed to be driving it up north to drop it off at the transmission rebuilding shop.

2. I had a seal replaced in my transmission since there was a leak.

3. We leave church this morning....my check engine light turns on. Jenny is displeased.

(LeAnn...don't say anything to Mom & Dad about this.)

I have a growing list of ailments for my car too. A motor in a back window is shot, window cannot lowered. The pump associated with the cooling in my car is shot too. No air conditioning and my car doesn't like to even blow cold air with the general fan function. Lock on my driver door is broken. Scared to lock my car because if something happens to the passenger side front door lock, I cannot enter my car. Don't want my ISU parking permit stolen though.

Just needed to complain somehow and I don't want to tell my parents yet because we'll just argue that I need a different car. A different car isn't feasible yet because I need more savings so I can make a down payment and handle car payments in the future. Then again, I cannot keep putting money into repairs every other month because that is adding up fast too. Adulthood can certainly be a headache at times.

I've definitely had my battles with Esmeralda too. It sucks even more though when it's been back and forth getting fixed and so on, then it breaks some more. It's too bad you aren't in a better position to get something more dependable and less of a headache. We're busy enough, we don't need to waste time, energy, or sanity on our vehicles. I won't say anything to the parentals.
