car costs

[seldear]

Wait for it...wait for it...

$1500.

That's the estimate by the local garage for replacement of radiator, thermostat valve, and I think the water pump, too. Something else, anyway. Let me tell you, I'm going to be keeping a careful eye on the car in future.

*sigh*

Good thing I have this new job. Now if I can only find accomodation, work out the ins and outs of the office, and stay awake while doing it! Everything will be peachy!

Eep! You could practically get a used car for that!

Yeah, But this is the first major trouble this one's ever given me.

*sigh*

Ouch! That's a hefty repair bill. Will this have any impact on your 'Round the World plans?

No, it won't make any changes to the RTW. Given that I have a job for 3 months paying a decent amount of chump change, I'm good for the RTW plans.

Now I just have to get up off my ass and purchase everything.

Cars are so great, except when they're costing you a fortune. Egads.

I think this is actually quite mild. I've never had trouble with the car before - this is the first big payout, and I've had it for six years.

Still...ouch.
