Fascinating new thing…

Sara

Don’t betray them by becoming familiar… Previously on Ye Olde Blog… Joel the Obstinate and Cursed Jetta (TM) was retired and Sara had an emotional breakdown over it. Then wrote a wall of text about it. Here’s another one… We’ve been having serious conversations about replacing my car for a few years. We’ve forked out thousands of dollars in repairs on the damn thing over the years and we figured when it started costing more… Keep reading…Fascinating new thing…

The part where it’s over…

Sara

Do you own a car? Did you finance it? Is it paid off? Make sure you have both your title AND your lien release and put them in a safe place that’s easy to find when it comes time to relinquish said car. Anyway. Here’s a disastrous wall of text… I got my driver’s license roughly two months shy of my 23rd birthday. I had my license for a month when I bought my very… Keep reading…The part where it’s over…

He needs a new battery and a new alternator. ZOMG!YAY! (And by “ZOMG!YAY!” I mean “Goddammit, Joel.”) 4.) There was some other bullet point I was going to write here, but my mind went completely blank on what it was by… Keep reading…Waiting on a cue…

Find the edge of the world…

Sara

This was Sunday… Joel the Obstinate and Cursed Jetta has been an ornery cuss since spring when he started having problems getting started. If he sat more than two weeks without being driven, he needed to be jumped. Then it started dwindling to less than two weeks, and finally a week after his last jump, he wouldn’t start at all. The battery is only two years old. The original lasted me eight years. Bob’s dad… Keep reading…Find the edge of the world…
