damn im broke!

my car is in the shop and it is gonna cost me 420 for it all to get fixed. what is it you ask? well first of all the thermostat, my friends and iwere tryin 2 replace it and the freakin bolts were stripped and rusted so one of em snapped off and that was that. next my belts all needed to be replaced and that was the most expensive repair. then my exhaust leak. yea from the passenger side header. i coulda just tighten the bolts every so often but that got annoying especially consideirng i dont have the $$$ to buy a good set of tools but they are "gonna make sure it dont leak again." it seems like a lot of money but it has a one year 12.000 mile warranty on it and consideirng how much i drive my car it will be a full year...anyways i wanted 2 vent out how much money im spendin on my damn car as of late grrr...but i will never sell it no matter how many people ask me if its for sale later guys!
