Tuesday, August 4.

Another day, another car problem. It all started on the last Monday of school when I had a front spring break and puncture a tire at 8am while getting in the car to go to work. Then after that $900 repair (replacing springs on both sides and the tire and the brakes) I just replaced the gas tank which was leaking. That was $300. Then yesterday, not even a week later the CHECK ENGINE light came on. Of course it does not SAY that, it has a picture that lights up, that I thought when I saw it 2 years ago meant something about a video camera. Oh well...how was I supposed to know it was supposed to be a picture of an ENGINE? Anyway, got it looked at today, and is no big deal. Something to do with the new gas tank installation and some kind of leak somewhere...need to put smoke through it to find it. But it is SAFE to drive! WoOhOo!
