They say every new year bring new begginnings but little did i know this year would bring frustration, heart ach, resentment, and tears. Almost two weeks before christmas my car really began to act up but i never considered it being anything major jus a few glitches here and there and after a little work it would be good as new, boy was i wrong, my chk engine light had been on for a couple of months but nothing major had never happened to indicate somethin was going horribly wrong. One.morning as i watched tv a commercial came up about a device called Car Md, heard of it, yea its a really good product out of curiosity i ordered it and it was deliverd the nxt wk. I put it on my car and it indicated i needed and ignition coil and how much it shoud cost to get it fixed smart device. Happily i bought the part and that nite my dad being the caring person he is put it on for me ( saved me a bundle) or so i thought. The next day i got up for work and went to crank my car it sounded like it had swallowed the huges chunk of cat hair the world has ever seen lol, its funny to say now but at the time it was a nighmare. I was hopin and praying it was a bad dream and i would wake up any minute in a cold sweat wondering what that was all about. hmmm, it never happened after i realized i wasn dreaming i paniced i couldn believe this was happening i mean iv takin care if this car for four years and now when i have a year in a half to go it wants to quit i refused to let it go like that. 


So for the next two weeks i had my car towed back and forth from the house to the machanic and back after each timed it seemed my car came back with more problems than it had when i sent it in. I was exausted from being stressed and crying, the rental i had for bout a wk was breaking me as much money as as i put in that car some would think i was buying it. Hahahahahh its something when u realize the things u couldve done after u been through so much, but thats life right. Then to top that off my sis was in an accident the same wknd now not only was i out of a car she was too, so so so sad huh, right i know i felt like i had entered the twilight zone where everything seems so unreal and is happening all at the same time. Aside from christmas all kind of hell broke lose in my house everyone was mad at somebody about something couldn say two words without getting offensive or hitting a nerve. OMG i wanted to scream and i was tired of crying like someone had died but it was hurtful to grasp the concept my car was really gone, i didn know what to do or where to turn. Thankfully a friend of mine spotted a car at a dealership right in town and i honestly never thought to look at cuz nothing out there never caught my attention. Long story short i went by there and got a great car for a very reasonable price and payments as low as my previous car, but for my sis we are still waiting and praying things come through the crappy dealership is becoming money hungry cuz they know its income tax season and think they can suck u for all u got, the devil is a lie. 

Wel my story isn about nursing yet but it will be soon trust me that will be my next hot topic how i finally made it through ooooo catchy title haahahahah thanks for reading my story and i hope u enjoy it feel free to leave and comments or advice it will truly be appreciated.

I am sorry you had such a bad time with your car Victoria. I always have trouble with cars. Breing a guy, I should know all about cars, but I am probably the one guy in the world who doesn't.  I can put gas in it and wash it but I probably spend more money on my car than needed. Whenever something goes wrong, I just take it to the shop. I am glad you found a good car. You do not need anymore stress in your life while going to school.
