And now it's gone...

When you wake up on the morning of payday, you assume it is going to be a feel good day. Never have I been more wrong.

My 2001 Volvo S40 hit a point where there are nothing but problems. Externally, internally....just 'ternally in general. It is doing this thing where it just stalls out in the middle of turns...particularly intersections and parking spots- and no, it is not a manual. So after a few visits to the dealer and no help at all, we took it to a Volvo Specialist. So after spending almost 500 bones to fix the "heart of the problem," it stalled out on my drive back home....not once, not twice, but three times.

So this morning we took it back...which is why I am currently at home blogging.

After dropping off the car, we then proceeded to the DMV for a title transfer and a new tag. My parents recently gave me my car that had been in there name for my birthday. With a few signatures and a swipe...we are $490 dollars poorer. Happy Birthday. Who knew a tag (not the FSU tag that I wanted) would cost $287.

To boot,  we paid rent yesterday.

And now it's gone.....

  1. Girl- I feel you. I spent more than $600 at the DMV. I wanted to knife myself.
