Wow looks like your car hates you more than you hate it :P

I know the feeling. I've hated a few of my cars like this. My husband's last work truck was no exception. Even though it was a Toyota it was old and started having troubles right before we got rid of it. At one point it kept stalling out and I had a hell of a time starting it back up, and this was after we got a brand new battery for it. I was fed up and made the mistake of taking it through the drive thru one night. Sure enough it got stuck, right in the drive thru. I was so mad, mostly at myself, for going up in the first place. I have no doubt the employees there knew it too. LOL They were really nice to me about the whole thing though. After a few tries I was able to get it started. I don't know how, but I somehow made it all the way home, though it did stall several more times before I got there. That was the last time I drove it. It turned out that it had a blown head gasket. Great. My husband tried to get it fixed for cheap (if you call $400 cheap). However, it didn't work, and we were back to where we started, minus 400 bucks. In the end, we ended up selling it, along with a couple of other vehicles (one other non running car and a motorcycle), to get the money we needed to buy the car we have now. It's an older vehicle too, though a few years younger than the truck we had. And so far it's holding up great, but it's in need of some scheduled maintenance NOW, which isn't cheap, but if we don't get it done soon it'll end up costing us a lot more if something important decides to break... Cars! They sure are fun, aren't they? LOL Happy mylotting!

these machines do seem to know the most inopportune time to break down, either stranding you out in the middle of nowhere or when your checkbook balance is low. We started a new business undertaking 2 weeks ago, and wouldn't you know the very next day our main car started acting up, almost stranding my husband on his way back to the office. We don't have time or money right now to get it to the shop, but luckily we have an older van we keep for hauling large items and for just this type of situation, so we can just let the car sit a couple more weeks till we have time to deal with it.

Ohhh! Me, I hate my van! The fact that the transmission went the day after I got it from the dealership should have been a sign. But no, I kept it. So after, the transmission was changed, the brake was changed twice, tires got changed after fishtailing in winter, after something got fixed for $400 to pass emission tests, now it is constantly overheating! The worst thing is, if I sold it I wouldn't get even a $1000 for it.
