So, a little update on my poor car. Almost word for word for the lady at the repair shop: "Yadda yadda, hole in the undercarriage ... yadda yadda ... water in the hydraulics system ... yadda yadda ... cold temperatures = water freezing ... yadda yadda ... $775 --"

Holy.

Shit.


And that's what they think the problem is.

In better news, borrowed a car from a friend for weekend pet sitting. Planned on ridesharing up to the mountains for skiing to take my mind off it all, but guess what liz the dummy did?

If you guessed that she left her skis, boots, poles and winter parka in her car that got towed in and is not locked up over the weekend, you win a cookie.

So, my car is broken again. I love it dearly but it always finds the creative ways to break down. And BTW, creative = expensive.

The brake pedal is stuck. Please, laugh, because I don't know what else to do. The fricking brake pedal is stuck! In brake! So I cannot move my car.

Plus I have a nice little ice rink in the backseat where water/some mysterious fluid leaked in, pooled up and then froze overnight.

A little online research looks like maybe the place where the water is leaking in from has short circuited electronics or maybe has clogged some of the inner workings of the brake system. Either way? Expensive

Fuckity fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

(Excuse the language).

This takes the palce of my very sad re: Heath Ledger post, because I am an evil selfish witch. Who now may miss her chem exam tonight while she struggles to get her car fixed. Again.
