New Life

Remember when I had to fix my car last April? Well. Turns out that the poor thing is suffering greatly from being ridden hard in her young age. My fuel pump gave out - and guess what? The fuel pump is attached to the tank in these 1999 Blazers. In 2001, they started making the fuel pump a separate entity so it wouldn't be so expensive to fix it. I just missed the grade on that one. The transfer case is leaking and since that has to do with the transmission, um. Yeah. Have to fix that. I told them to go ahead and do an oil change too, since it was time anyway. $985.31 this little venture is costing me. They threw in the labor for the oil change for free. I must be a good customer or something.

I was a little teary-eyed this morning. It's a little too much to take on a Monday, but I kept plowing through the day and I think I'm going to be okay. It's time to start looking for a new vehicle. I knew it was coming. When you spend more money to fix it than you would to make car payments for a year, it's time. I just don't want to. I love my blazer. Apparently she doesn't love me anymore...
