car mess
oh my freakin god!!!!!
so last week while driving up to vegas, my poor lil car started acting really funny. the rpms would just go whacko shooting up erratically. i'd take my foot off the gas and it would go back down so i'd try to accelerate again. sometimes i'd be okay, sometimes not. then i got sorta worried cuz it occurred more frequently, plus the OD Off light would flash. and i got even more worried cuz the CHECK ENGINE SOON light came on and never went away. the "slipping" of the gears happened all throughout the vegas weekend. it's like it wouldn't catch to the next gear. on the way back home, it really didn't happen but once. so i felt better about it and decided i could go to work. i finally took it to the shop(s) on friday and it's at the nissan dealership today. so here's the diagnosis confirmed by 3 different places: internal transmission. greattttt.... nissan dealership says they don't repair anything this bad, they replace it, costing... tun tun tun... $2900!!! holy crap... dude, i might as well get a new car... *throwing tantrum!!* i don't wanna incur another expense gosh darn it!!!!!!! arghhhhhhhhh!!!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
