car repairs and reconciliation


me and my jetta. together again. (in the background is my soon-to-be former home) Posted by Hello

what follows is a car story of horror and possible eviction. read on. try not to enjoy it too much.

"fixing" your 1988 volkswagon jetta at athens automotive: 225$

replacing the catalytic converter on said car: 280$

fixing what was originally wrong with the car and replacing the parts of the engine that got burned up by the original "repair job": 280$

having a piece of shit car that you love for some stupid reason and can now drive again (once you pay to get an updated tag for it): no, not priceless. that shit has cost me over 750 dollars already and i still have to climb in from the passenger's side (75$ to fix door handle but, alas, i am finally out of money).

getting evicted from your apartment because you spent all of your money fixing your car: free (unless your landlord decides to sue you)
