#And I'm gonna be on the drive with a scissor jack and vice grips bullying the brake callipers into compliance tomorrow

The trials continue!

Cars, y'all, are horrid things. Our car went and died via turbo on the engine quitting at life. Had to go and get another cheap car as an emergency buy with money we didn't have to waste. Little cheap car isn't too bad I guess. I got a manual for it and the desire to cause chaos.

Gotta spend nearly £50 on small parts like spark plugs and an air filter to replace them on engine which, yikes. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Car has MOT until 13th December which... Isn't ideal. Have a full 5 days before I get paid so even if it passes MOT, won't have it back until paid for it... Ugh.

Do have the front brake discs and pads so I can, hopefully, sort them out myself and not require them adding on top of MOT cost. Back brakes are a them problem however because shoes and drums are Not My Wheelhouse At All.

Anyway. This is more to complain about bad luck, bad timing, and spark plugs being lil binches that desperately want to cause me problems.

🙃

Will I kill this car tomorrow when I try and do the spark plugs and air filter? Maybe.

Am I going to do it anyway? Yes.

What happens if things go wrong? I cry from frustration and figure out how to pay for repairs and MOT.

What happens if things go right? I cry from joy and still figure out how to pay for MOT.

Do you think the universe likes to give me problems to deal with because it doesn't want me getting bored or... Ya know... Having a good, happy life?? Fucked if I know.

#Kat talks #Update on my life #Car problems #The brake discs and pads were almost £50 for the front wheels which... Wowsa #What gets me is my local garage will charge me £180 to do the brakes EACH (aka front ones and then back ones) when it takes them pennies #In time terms to change the brakes since they have all the tools and shit #And I'm gonna be on the drive with a scissor jack and vice grips bullying the brake callipers into compliance tomorrow #Like I need to get paid or sth for this lmal #*lmao
