Pissed!

I dropped $963.92 on my truck Friday afternoon, putting less than 30 miles on the odometer over the weekend only to have it not start this morning. I had it towed back to the shop to find out the problem which according to them is due to a bad alternator diode. It's being replaced under warranty but I still have to pay $110 in labor not to mention

I just spent a little more on my vehicle two weeks ago. After they gave me the bill they handed me "recommended repairs" that should be done in the next few months which came up to another $980 (including only two new tires, even though they all could probably be replaced...the back ones are almost bald). Also...way over my head.

What sucks is that I'm way too invested into my truck by now just to keep it running, to ever get my money back out of it if I sell it. No one is buying big Diesel trucks anymore due to gas prices and lousy mileage. I'm too poor to get a new car and the Tally's bus service isn't an option at all for my job. I'm screwed. So I just keep sinking money into the pit. Grrrr!
