more car follies...
Mar. 31st, 2005 08:02 pmIt's happened *again*.
The black Mustang of Doom (to my checkbook) left me stranded on the way home from work. It stalled, the "check engine" light came on, and it wouldn't restart. This is after I'd finally picked it up earlier today from the repair shop. Where a new transmission, rebuilt front end and steering cost me $3800, almost as much as the purchase price. It is now being towed back to the same repair shop.
(bangs head against the wall) I have now dropped $9400 into this vehicle. For that much, I could have bought a newer one with lower mileage... or a share of an airplane. Sigh.
