indiana_jGood news! There was nothing actually hanging from the carriage of my car, so that's a relief.
Bad news! In total, I'm looking at shelling out around $1,000 today! Fuck! The issues are:
a. That noise? Not something dragging but, instead, the fact that I pretty much have no brakes left.
b. A cracked belt
c. The car needs all four tires replaced
They're also doing things such as changing the oil, cleaning the lights and doing the state inspection (since it's up this month anyway).
Ugh. I mean, this is why I have savings but after this, savings will be back to nothing. I keep telling myself that this is why I have savings but stiiiiill. *sigh* I spend upwards of 3 hours in my car every day, so this is important but it doesn't make it any less painful.
The guys were nice enough to drive me home since the car won't be ready until evening which was good because it was either they be nice like that or I'd be stuck with no internet at their shop and / or the Frost Dinner until 5 pm tonight.
Screw this, I'm going to go have a nap.
