They Know My Name Cause I Told It To Them, But They Don't Know Where and They Don't Know When

(The Arcade Fire, Keep the Car Running)

Anyone who knows me knows of my seemingly constant problems with the automobile species. I have had the worst luck with cars over the years. Even when I lived in New York and didn't drive a car, EVER, I still had car troubles. Might sound impossible, but I assure you, nothing is impossible.

Anyway, it will come as no surprise to anyone that my car is back in the shop as of this morning, thanks to the fine folks at Superior Towing. I spoke with them earlier this afternoon, they were going to change the battery and then see if there was anything else wrong. Marvelous. So, at worst, I'm probably looking at around a $250 bill for the towing, battery, labor, and oil change (for good measure).

One day, when I'm fabulously wealthy, I don't ever want to own a car. I never really understood the benefit of a 3-year lease on a car, but it's looking more and more appealing to me every day.
