My Wonderful Daddy and a paid off car...

So my Daddy ROCKS. He's really just such a sweet man. I couldn't ask for a better father. So my car has been paid off for a little over a month! YAY! Right? No b/c that's when everything goes wrong and let me tell you it's like my poor little Ion is falling a part. :( It's really making me sad. This plastic piece on my window broke... seriously was falling off while I was driving and I had to roll down my windows in hope that it wouldn't fall off in the middle of the road for me to have to go try to get. I was certain this was broke while they fixed my window seal but of course it wasn't and I had to pay $37 plus tax to get this fix. And then my front left turning blinker when out. Easy to fix right? NOT!!! I couldn't find a bulb to fit it properly. We went to O'Rileys and they did a comparison and it didn't work. Really it broke. It flashed once and didn't work again. Then my trunk wouldn't open with he remote or the push button inside. We thought this was a fuse and let me tell you that fuse was hard to get out and then it was a GM only fuse that cost $32. Well I put the darn thing back in and called Saturn the next day and they told me there was a switch in the trunk for "valet" service that will shut off those devices. So I found that and fixed it! SHEW!!! Man a live though! OH and then there is the seal on my front windshield that was coming loose so I showed my dad... nope it wasn't on at ALL!!! When the wonderful man took my car to Saturn to get it repair they wanted $70 to put the damn thing back on. YEAH RIGHT! I super glue it myself!!! Let me tell you I was upset. So I got out of there for only $54 but my stupid blinker light was $14!!! I guess I have to get them from GM. SO GAY!!

That's about right! $54 is not too bad, I'm glad you were able to fix some of it for cheap. We recently spent $600 on the Mazda...that hurts just writing it. I don't even want to think of all that could go wrong with our new house. Ay ya yai!

That is about right with cars...at least it wasn't as expensive as your payment though, right?

What Connie wrote about spending $600 hurts me too...and don't even get me started on home repairs!
