“A car is a hole in the road that you pour money into.”

That quote comes from my dad. He’s said it my whole life about all car repairs and even just putting gas into the cars in general.

Friday night I noticed when I accelerated my car was super loud. Like something was wrong with the muffler. I called my mechanic (the dealer) and they said I had a cracked tailpipe. They told me to call this other guy to fix it because it would be cheaper.

As I was leaving the dealer I tried to turn my air conditioner on. Cold air would not come out of the vents. I took it to the mechanic right next to my station today.

His diagnosis?

Cracked tail pipe: take it to a muffler shop-it will be cheaper.
A/C needed a recharge: $91.70 later I’m good to go for the rest of the summer. It’s much too hot here NOT to have a working air conditioner. So I will bite the bullet and do the A/C recharge. I seriously hate spending money on car repairs. Oh well. It can’t be helped. And I can’t take it with me!

Have a good Tuesday friends!
