That damn car

So last night I was coming home from work. I was driving on the interstate when all of a sudden my brakes were out. No one was that close in front of me and I was able to get home safely. I called Al's Auto the closest place to my house and I've been there before a few months back when he fixed my heater. I was able to drive there safely. I took a cab back which sucked but hey it's a cab. They take forever to pick you up. So I planned ahead this time, you see he closes at five so if he doesn't call me by four I'm calling him to see if it's done that way I can get a cab there before he closes and can get my car tonight. Last time I had to wait an extra day because I didn't have a ride and the cab wouldn't have made it in time. It's going to cost me around 400 dollars he said it was 170 for the front and if I wanted the back done (which he said I could use prolly for another month) it would be about 100 more. I just got my income tax this morning and told him to fix it all. So I'm figuring with labor and everything around 400 hopefully it'll be less. I still owe my mom 190 for the heater. Then I hope to get a new queen bed. We'll see how that goes.

Sorry to hear about that. With Thursday's craptacular weather, I was the lucky recipient of a hit and run so I can sympathize with car woes. My neck still aches a bit but no matter, my car came away from the incident with just a couple of tiny dimples in the rear bumper that hardly can be seen. I guess we got spoiled by this flimsy winter we've had so far eh?
