Time to Go Shopping

Now, I can't be sure of today because Matt is not home from work yet... But his car has been breaking down on him once a day for about 3 days running. He'll be sitting at a stop light and the damn thing will power off and then start up fine.

Over the past two years of us not having a payment on his Jeep, I keep insisting that we make up for those payments in repairs. It's a '98, so it's got some wear but I think he has finally managed to run the piece into the ground. For instance: His engine fan is hardwired because it wouldn't run otherwise... This may explain why he overheats at least twice a week in the summertime... Or it could be the cracked radiator. At one point his steering wheel had to be "tightened up", because it came so loose it was unsafe to drive. I won't even get into the strobe lights Matt's brake lights have become.

We got to laughing the other day when we were discussing some errands we need to run over the weekend, and a new car suddenly became a consideration. Who knows? Maybe it will last another couple of months. But one thing's for sure... Matt won't be spending money on another vehicle until this one is rendered useless.
