take my car to a mechanic

But once again there is something wrong with my car. Today when I went to leave for my class it wouldn’t turn over so I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ve about had it with the car, I had to have another $500 worth of repairs four months ago and that was on top of the previous $500 I had spent two months before that. I don’t even know if the cost of upkeep and insurance is worth having the car now.:(

My car and I spent nearly all of Saturday afternoon at the mechanics. (OK - technically I was up the street at the coffeehouse for most of the time.) Four hours and nearly $500 later, I drove away with new brakes and a higher Mastercard bill. This doesn’t do much for my get out of debt goal - but I think I can pay off at least half this month and maybe the rest next month.

But it just feels wrong. (Can’t wait for the condescending looks from the auto repair guys when I say that). I know its something about the brakes or maybe I need new tires (with my luck I need both). Oh well, I get paid tomorrow and I suppose I’ll try to find somewhere to take it in the city. I think once I get this goal completed I might look into taking an auto maitainance class or maybe I’ll buy a book on it.
