Car Update
Well, the guys got here and they popped off my tire and put on the spare in less than three minutes. I was in awe. With the prospect of not having to have my car towed, I decided to take it to the dealership. I tend to prefer them over regular garages, mainly because I can almost always get SOME kind of discount out of them.
Got it to Stafford, found out it was going to be later in the afternoon before they could have it done. Well, there went any places to actually, you know, work today. The nice gentlemen at the dealership decided that it would be a shame for a young woman like me to get squished into a thousand squishy things while crossing Rt. 610, so they drove me over to the shopping complex.
Got the call after I discovered the bookstore and nearly had a freaking heart attack. Both back tires needed to be replaced and with the oil change (really, the 45,000 mile whatever) it was going to be $230. After discussing it with the guy, it was decided that I can wait on the back tire that didn't deflate until next week, when I get paid.
This dropped it down to $149. Still ow but nearly $100 cheaper makes me happy.
So, yeah, am going to cancel trip to Gettysburg. *shrug* As much as I want to go, finances dictate that I can't. I'm disappointed but not too much. It's amazing what perspective can get you.
It could have been MUCH worse, something I couldn't afford. But because I had been saving up, the emergancy was more than taken care of. Live tends to throw curve balls, I'm just glad I'm getting in the habit of being able to actually hit them out of the park when I need to.
