Bad Day Car Trouble

It isn't. That's what will cost most.

@RubyHawk .....Yeah, that's where I was. I had a 1991 Subaru. Nice little car. I kept it up really well. But one day I went out(two springs ago now) and there was a shimmying when I drove it for the first time after a winter of not driving. I knew what it was and that it would be expensive. I just didn't have the money and the strength to whime to my wonderful mechanic and get him to let me pay the bill in a couple of payments. I had used him for years but, like he told me, he had to pay his bills too. I got it . He had been so kind to me , a single mom, so many times. So decided I would not drive any more. Didn't need to the stress and had other things I needed to do with my SSD.

@celticeagle It better not be that would cost as much as the cars worth.

They do. I wouldn't own a car if we could get by without it.

Exactly, I know it will be expensive.I do believe this machanic is honest. I hope I'm right.

@RubyHawk Best of luck with it!

@pgntwo Thanks a bunch.

@RubyHawk I find it's best that way, so when it isn't as bad it turns into a blessing.

@just4him So do I ,then if the news isn't as bad as expected you can be happy.

Thanks. My better half says I always imagine the worst.

@RubyHawk yes, but the repairing took less than a week to be fixed.

Yes, that's true. If the oil gets too low it will burn out your motor.

@ridingbet You were lucky to get it repaired the same day. We usually have to wait but not always.

@RubyHawk we do here for the most part. One end of caoe cod to the other. But only one the main road.

@Courtlynn We have some buses but not always where and when you need to go. Never the time and place for us.

I wish We had buses going to places we need.

@RubyHawk That stinks, doesn't it? I hate to think I would taken advantage of, but then again I'm at their mercy .

They likely will. I think they often add extra charges if you don't know much about a car.

@much2say I'm afraid we are too. Neither of us knows that much about cars.

I'll say. it can break the bank.

@RubyHawk same here

@amadeo It didn't cost as much as I thought but still too much in my opinion.

The oil leak has to be repaired then the oil change and a tire. I hope they find nothing else.

@RubyHawk yes, for car there is a necessity.

@cacay1 I don't know how we would get along without a car.

It is a big headache but we can't get around it.

It was, could have been much worse.

@RubyHawk I'm so glad you're better, at least! I've been thinking about you!

@CRK109 That's sweet of you. I'm trying.

I can't seem to shake off my cold but I'm better. Thank you for asking.

Makes you want to give your car away.

That's true but we can't expect life to be perfect.

@anamika161088 t Sometimes If we try hard enough.

@RubyHawk Yes. Nothing is perfect. What we can do is to make things nearly perfect.

No worse than I do. It's double trouble.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I will check it out.

Thanks I have my fingers crossed too.

I think we caught it in time.Thank goodness.

My grandson would do it but he's taken care of it before and he works long hours. I won't even let him know about this.

No it's downright disgusting.
