I.H.A.T.E.M.Y.C.A.R.

This was in April. Yeah. Mmmm-hmmmm. When we replaced the HEAD GASKET. Yeah, 6 months after we replaced the VALVE COVER GASKET. No, I have no idea why it is puking smoke through the air filter. And no, I can't explain that *bloop* sound that comes from the BACK of the car every time I hit the gas pedal. Fuel pump? Probably-since it is a LOT more expensive to fix than a filter. I mean, sheesh, this is only the FOURTH ENGINE...and she has 125K miles-yeah I know, but gee, who would expect a car to get over 30K miles per motor? That's just ridiculous~Oh. Everyone else's cars DO get how many miles? Oh. My. God.

Dumbest thing I did all week? Let's just start with TODAY, shall we?Agreed to ride in the vehicle being towed. If I wasn't still dealing with whiplash from the fair (really), I surely would have had a new case of it today. JERK....brakes...brakes....BUMPEROMGBRAKESBRAKESBRAKES...whew. JERK..OMGHEREWEGOAGAIN!!! Making sure I was never closer than 12" from the truck's bumper. I got home after THAT thrill-ride feeling like I had been beaten to death. I just took 2 Excedrin Migraine...now to lay down any make happy with the TENS unit...
Oh, and let me not forget..THE CAR CRANKED WHEN WE GOT HOME. Just enough to get it into it's little spot...then promptly died again. Lord, please forgive me for all the fugly words I said today. Please give me a reduced sentence since I was merely venting my frustration WITH the car, TO the car-I hurt no one's feelings during my rant. Except yours. Nevermind. I'm sorry.
