*sigh* and yesterday felt so good...

I *SO* was hoping I'd go a few more days (weeks?  months?) before needing this icon...

On this, well, not much we can do except be thankful we have a few bucks saved up and I make enough to hold us for quite a while.  Bright side is I can go to her office to get her stuff so it doesn't have to sit in a friends' house.

Because I already have the car back, without doing anything to it...and not for a good reason.

Forget about it.  Cylinder damage.  Repair cost will, yes, exceed its trade-in value.

I note shit like that happens (well, is discovered) just as you say "we'll keep it for one more year than get something new based on new requirements...".

Ouch. Did you guys piss off the Flying Spaghetti Monster or something? Sorry about all the trouble.

I know what you mean. We got the minivan when the Subaru blew its transmission right in the middle of the Cumberland Gap, and when we'd been thinking about a newer car later in the year. And the water heater blew last month just weeks before we were going to replace it, meaning we also had to replace the carpet.

But did you use ground beef, sausage, or ground veal for the meatballs? You *know* how picky it is about that.

Well, that explains it then.
