.....I had a BLOWOUT on the way to work today! I was going in early too so I had to wait 45 minutes for someone who works with me to drive by and pick me up!

Can I please just be known as the Queen Of Bad Car Luck!?!

Good Grief Jacki... what next?

I don't want to know! :cry:

One more thing, and I think I will drive that thing straight into the Mississippi!

The Mississippi sounds good.

Queen of Bad Car Luck? No, you merely need to change frogs...LOL

LoL, soldier - she's been kissin' that same frog for too long.....

Oh, Jacki - I keep resucitating my '92 Chevy Lumina...it's
a mechanic bill, once every two months! But...I just REFUSE to
fork out new car payments! :wink:

Well, as they say, bad things come in threes. It sounds like you've had them. Thank God you weren't injured!

I must be the King of Bad Luck, Period. I know what you mean about Blowouts/Flat Tires --- I've replaced no less than 5 tires since February 2002 - (No flats since August 2002). My blowout happened at 5 am in the morning in a BAD part of town. Very comforting isn't it?

I'm glad that you are ok.

Thanks guys! That car is just a hassle! If it isn't one thing, it is 5 others! :roll:

I would get a new one in a heartbeat- IF I wasn't still paying on it!

Get a used one.....let some other sucker take the hit
for depreciation on the new one!

Jacki, my car is a time bomb waiting to go off! My step-dad just put a new radiator in it...and well, the radiator and the stereo is worth more than the actual car!

Last year alone we (my dad and I) forked out over $700 for repairs on it! Alternator, Serpentine Belt, Heater Coil, Stereo, etc

The sad thing is that I need to make it last til I graduate from UWGB which will not be til Dec 2004 or May 2005. (I'll be a super senior when I graduate considering I'll have Senior status at the end of this semester)

I am fortunate to have a nice car (well mini-van actually) but I sympathize with you Jacki. My friend has been in three wrecks in the last few months... none have resulted in serious injuries and none have been her fault. I am almost scared to ride with her. :o

Jacki, can you say "TAXI"?
