Car troubles
I've had some car troubles recently.On Thursday I went to get a routine oil change and an emissions check so that I can register my car (yes, I know I should have done that months (years?) ago). Bad news: my car completely failed the test, and they said I needed new tires immediately.
Have you ever had to wait to get your car fixed? It's horrid. There's nothing to read other than brochures on lube jobs. I was bored out of my mind on Thursday, but when they told me more work needed to be done, I made sure I was prepared for Friday...or at least had enough material to keep my mind occupied. There's not much you can do to make your rear happy. In total, I spent 4 1/2 hours in the Canadian Tire waiting room and over $1000 to fix my car.
On Sunday I went through a car wash and managed to destroy one of my hubcaps, only I never got to see how badly I destroyed it because it flew off as I drove home and I wasn't able to find it. My car doors and locks froze so that the next time I had to use my car, I couldn't open either door and I had to crawl in through the trunk. Then I rolled down the window so Vince could clamber through it. My locks are still frozen, so rather than risk not being able to get in my car, I'm just not locking the doors.
I have to go back for a second test at Canadian Tire soon. I'm not looking forward to it.
