So Pat came home tonight & told me that the timing belt had bent the valve... this is bad. So I wont have my car back. I call my dad who was a mechanic since he was 16 & ask him if it is worth fixing, he said probably not because it's expensive & could lead to needing a whole motor & with the mileage on my car its not worth the money. Now my car is only a 2001, its not ancient... yet.
This is so not a good time for this.. I have to go back to work on the 17th for 3 weeks because I am 100 hours short of taking the remainder of my maternity leave (cough = bullshit), I cant use Pat's car because I cant feel safe with the baby in it, plus I am not driving him to the train with the baby at 4 am every morning.
Its not like we have money put away to buy a new car. This incident has kinda blindsided us.
** I keep repeating to myself... God wont give you more than you can handle, god wont give you more than you can handle**
This is followed by a little voice stating " he is sure pushing my limits though lately on just how much it takes to make me snap"
SO where does that leave us?? With one week to obtain a new car...
We have decided on a truck, we need the extra room now with the baby. We have decided to buy one outright because we don't want the monthly payment, so this has left us looking all night at pre-owned. We have it narrowed down pretty much to a Ford Expedition.
Now we just have to have my poor father run around all weekend looking at them, once we get the OK we have to go down there, buy it, get insurance on it, & then sit in DMV HELL in Queens.... That should take about 6 hours. Dane Cook said it right when he called the DMV "Satan's Asshole".
Looks like I will be in Queens till Tuesday... Yippie & Ugh!!
Oh & we are selling the mustang too... So we are doing a complete vehicle overhaul....
