samaraSo I’m again having more car trouble just when I thought all my car trouble had ended, especially after just spending $2000 on that car 5 months ago for repairs along with the $500 a year ago for an engine, $200 for a new alternator and recently $60 on a battery plus the $80 the mechanic whom ripped me off charged me! The sad thing is that I can’t afford to get new car because I’m paying for daycare and there is no way I’m going to get another “buy here pay here” piece of junk car. My car cut off on me 2 times yesterday while I was in the drive-thru of Chick-Fila I was so embarrassed and angry. When I got back to work I checked my oil and found that there wasn’t really any oil in it so I added some oil and the engine light went off.
On my way home the engine light came on again so I pulled up in a express oil change shop and ended up paying $174 for a complete oil change and cleaning, coolant flush, and power steering flush. My car seemed fine after all that and I went to go get my boys from childcare.
The next morning I took the boys to childcare and went to work, no problems with my car. I went to get lunch and again no problems with my car. As soon as it was time to drive home my car started riding rougher than usual, hesitating, and the engine light came back on again! I hate that damn car!
I went to get the boys mad as hell and stopped at Advanced Auto to have my engine checked. The machine said something called a cam shaft has gone bad. So now I have to spend more money that I don’t have to fix that stupid, raggedy, contraption. I still have another week of childcare to pay for on top of paying my phone bill and making sure I have gas money. I hate that car so much. I wish I could just win $20,000 so I can buy myself a new car and buy furniture for my home, but that’s only a fantasy that will never happen..not for me anyways.
This situation really sucks!

Sorry to hear about your car complications… it sucks when the car goes down… are you able to finance a car? I mean, considering all the problems that you are having right now, chances are is that those problems will re-occur.
Sorry I cannot offer any solutions but really hope for a miracle that will happen for you. Perhaps if you include it in a prayer and be persistent, a new car will be given to you! I’ve heard and seen it happen before ^_^ Keep your chin up! ^_^
That really sucks. Car problems are the worst I think. They always seem to come at exactly the wrong time too. Maybe you should start saving, I know that you have to pay bills and all though. But small things really add up I’ve found, like bring your lunch instead of going out, just small things. I’m really sorry though, I think everyone has been in situations like that. Good luck.
By the way, I would love to be affiliates with you. Sorry it took me a while to respond… School and work.
I’ll add you right now though. Yay.
