If I believed in curses, I would say my car is cursed.
My car was in great condition. Yes, there were a few minor issues with it, but overall the maintenence expenses for it were minimal. Then, in December, I purchased the car from my parents and the following things happened:
1) Chip in my windshield - $40
2) Computer diagnostic and "Check Engine" light repair - $60
3) New tires & alignment - $357
4) Water pump, timing belt, gaskets, temperature gauge & labor to fix oil leak & install parts - $652
5) Consultation & oil change to combat leakage - $38
Now you will probably notice that this adds up to more than $1000. Keep that in mind while I list the other things that I have not yet paid for, or committed to paying for:
6) New headlight bulb
7) Tune-up
8) Bulb replacement in console
9) Repair of weird interior light problem
10) Fuel gauge repair
I'll be getting the headlight bulb, but the others will have to wait until a few more paychecks roll in. In fact, some of them might not get fixed at all because they aren't worth the expense. But why the hell is my car suddenly falling apart right after I buy it? I keep a log of maintenence, I take it in when it is required, and I don't crash it into stuff. And yet it seems to be slowly falling apart.
This is so not fair.

It's a life lesson from God.
oh man, when that rock chipped the wind shield on I-25, i thought we were going to die, it was so loud!
it's like stuff isn't allowed to work right or something once you become the proper owner of it. like my car and the thermostat that cause d a billion and two problems.
and we're both probably going to die from lung cancer, too.
You are definitely right Corey. Clearly God wants me to learn to take responsibility for my life, get a job, and pay for the repairs myself.
Oh wait, I'm already doing that.
Well, the car has had seven relatively trouble-free years (if you forget about the alternator crapping out...twice...) Maybe it's about time for it to start falling apart.
Or maybe God hates you. Yeah, I think that's it.
i agree with the others. god def hates you. sucks, but whatev.
