Money's no problem as long as ya got some. [Mar. 17th, 2008|08:11 pm]

Yesterday after I got my taxes done (I owed this year but not ~too~ much) my car wouldn't start again. Had 'er towed to the Toyota dealership, signed her in and walked to the train. After work today (usually ride the train to work anyway) walked back to the dealership, signed her out, and drove off. The computer had died, and the swap out was under warranty, but I had them do routine maintenance because I'd been planning to do this eventually anyway.

I know not everyone can afford to be as easygoing about stuff that costs the kind of money this costs. I'm glad I can afford engine trouble. Also glad I have trains.

I am totally blaming the fact that UH2 is going to be late tonight on my having to deal with car-related stuff for a total of six hours over the past two days, even though this never would have been an issue if I had a buffer.

So there.

I find it very hard to believe the entire computer died, more often than not it's just the ignitor for the ignition system. But they just tell you its the computer because most people don't know ;)
