wahh... *crying* OK, now I'm really upset... really, really, really upset. Last night hubby & I took the non-running Taurus to **** Automotive to figure out why it's a non-running Taurus. We hoped that it would be something kinda minor, or moderate, like, i dunno, something only $300 or less. But NOOO, no such luck. turns out we have "at least" a blown head gasket, at least - possibly other problems as well, but that's the biggie. Tearing the engine down to fix it? Easily $900, could go up to over $1000 because there are other things wrong with it as well. Needless to say - I don't have $1,000 laying around ANYWHERE to fix it. And even if i did, would it be worth to spend that much on a car with over 130,000 miles?! Nope, not really...the logical thing would be to just go ahead and get another car... except we already have one car payment, can't do two! And the van needs a new CV joint, another $200 repair, rather urgently, too. WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I swear, these cars TALK to each other. They make up nefarious schemes to make our lives miserable.
I have no doubt whatsoever that as I was hanging out swamping, it ran across some relative of your car's up in Georgia, and passed the word on.
It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have this sense that they're sitting here snickering at us...
Perhaps we can plot some sort of revenge? You know. Send them out to the Car Crushers for scrap, and take all sorts of pix of their destruction?
oops! not Walter, twas me, k!
And then we can put them on YouTube. Like people do with the naughty pix after they break up, to embarrass each other.
heh!
