Almost-R.I.P.

Our poor, poor car is almost dead.
It won't start, creates lots of smoke, and sounds like it's going to explode.* Sad.

*Dr. Man begs to differ on this last point. I say it sounds like it's going to explode. He says, "It does not!"

    Grad student cars are sad. We keep hoping at least one of ours makes it till our graduation, but who knows.

    sorry to hear. My new old car behaved a little wierd last week. The "gear" shifted from Drive to Neutral... I am stil lhoping this was a "accident" and not something that will happen again since I can't afford a new car...

    I wish you the best with your car!!!

    OH NO! I will cry when my car officially dies. It's coming. I am just pretending it's not.

    Thanks, Everyone. It turns out that I was the closest without going over. The repairs will cost more than the car is worth, if we fix the A/C. The current plan is to just fix the stuff that that will get the car running (which is only equal to the cost of the car) and just be glad that it's winter!

    Sorry to hear that, and sadly familiar with the problem. But, hey! I survived an entire summer in Southern City with all but dead AC...
