The check engine light went on in my car, and so I dutifuly brought it to Ford. There were a few other things up with it, and so I had them fix them too. Now I get to pay $685.50. Did I mention I hate my car? I don't know if it's just my car, or cars in general, but it's just a money sinkhole. Another month where I end up losing more money than I make, thanks to my having my own vehicle. Thank you Ford. I don't need money to live, to save for a good future, to pay rent, to occasionally have nice food. I'm perfectly happy to just give all of it to you. Go ahead.. take it.. I don't even want it. Hey, CMU, just mail my paychecks straight to Ford. I really would like to sell my car, and be carless. It certainly would suck when I need to make trips to Columbus, but I really don't think it'd impact me negatively in day-to-day life. Hell, it'd probably do me good, make me bike or walk some of the time I'd otherwise drive. And at least then the capital invested in the car could be put to better use, like sitting in the bank or something, where it would do something better than slowly deteriorate. Capital either grows or shrinks, depending on what form it's in... houses and land tend to grow, cars shrink. Bleh. I sound like a businessperson.. Stupid car. Grr.
