Car troubles, sleep deprivation, readings galore

[timzloff]

All of a sudden on Tuesday the breaks on my drat Sunfire start to give. I've been planning all week to take the car in for its overdue oil change on Friday, but the break troubles prompted me to move it up a day. Rick has been pleased by this place called Speedy off Washtenaw by the KFC, but this meant getting it in there when it opened at 8:00

Don't you hate that?

I was SOO glad to get rid of my van since it was right at that stage.

of course, my sister neglected to tell me a few things about the new vehicle LOL

I just heard/read somewhere that January through March are the worst times to get auto repairs. I guess it's because the mechanics feel the post-holiday pinch more severely than others, and they tend to push for repairs that aren't in dire need of attention.

(And really, that Speedy place always gave me the creeps. Then again, I suppose I'm shallow and I'm allowing its proximity to that awful KFC influence my judgement. The guys at the Belle Tire in the Arborland complex are much hotter, too.)

having had my car die once & for all last month, I do understand more than I wish I did.
