$900 repair bill

June 11th, 2008 at 11:50 pm

I finally got my car fixed ...

to the tune of $812. OUCH

PLUS, $75 to get the darn piece of junk towed.

UGH.

Needless to say, I didn't have all of that money in an emergency fund, but I am very lucky to have parents who had money I could borrow. My mom said something along the lines of "It seems silly to put this much in repairs for such a crappy car."

I couldn't agree more.

However, I now have a car again. No more borrowing cars, or having to get rides. YAY! I am going to be updating my side bar with all of my debts and such ... and really really working on paying them down. I think I am going to be changing my $20 Challenge a bit, to be able to save up for school. That is something I am still considering ... of course.

Sigh ... I think next month is going to be better. At least I hope so ... I need some good news!

    I hate to do this to you now after you have paid...but most car insurance has 'emergency roadside service' to tow you. Geico charges me $18 a yr for this service.

    Yeah, I opted out of this service with the "cheapest" car insurance I could find. LOL.

    I'm upping the car insurance next month with an emergency roadside service feature. Live and learn they say.
