More Car repairs...
Hey yaars,
If the cold freeze of last week wasn't bad enough, upon getting to my parked car last week I discovered that my windshield wipers didn't work. And after a few days of driving real real slow, I managed to get it down to my friendly Saturn dealership (they know me on a first-name basis at this point).
After the $1200 debacle last month, I must admit I had my skepticism heading in. I came out mildly surprised, as they didn't surprise me with another whopper and said the only problem was a blown fuse, stemming from me trying a few times to get the wipers to work.

Still though, it's not a pleasant sight to see your bank account decrease that much more. And yes, I STILL haven't gotten the money for the door lock repairs from my ma...
