Stupid Car

As I briefly referenced the other day, we had a bit of car trouble this weekend. And by a bit, I mean, my car was essentially on fire. Ugh. Yeah, so that happened....

I have to admit it was looking pretty grim. I mean, we were all the way in Aliso Viejo pushing my smoking car across the intersection, and I thought we were looking at a new engine. Every penny we've somehow managed to save for the wedding (which feels likes approximately two pennies at this point) evaporated before my eyes. I thought we were done for. It was a good engine, but after 230,000 miles, it was probably time.

Thankfully, it was able to be fixed, although it still feels like we took a wad of money and flushed it down the toilet. As if we weren't already stressed to the gills thinking of every last cent, now we have to worry about this. Sigh. On the bright side, at least we're safe. At least the car runs. At least it wasn't the engine, right? All positive things. Now where's that winning lottery ticket already?
