My truck has been acting up this year. It's now in the garage. ABS module, Overhead module and fuel pump sending unit all need replaced. To the tune of nearly $3000. I just don't have it, so it's going to have to sit until I can scrape it together somehow. Damn it, I should have sold that truck when I got an offer for it. I've already put over 2K into it this year. So yeah, pity party please. |

That does suck. I absolutely hate car troubles, I think it's insane the ridiculous amount of money we have to lay out for a car in the first place, and then that the auto manufacturers seem to think that a car should only last 4-5 years, and if you do chose to keep a vehicle past that time you have to start laying out even more ridiculous sums of cash for repairs for a vehicle that is essentially valueless. I hate the auto industry I'm really sorry MGP, sending huge pity vibes your way, plus

Car troubles suck. Can I join your pity party and tell you about my car troubles? Mr. Fishy's car needed a new engine. We cannot afford a new car so we got the rebuilt, factory-approved/warranteed engine. For $6k+ (after my car had to have body work due to the deer that hit it and our farm truck needed a new radiator - all this summer). Just got the car home yesterday. Mr. Fishy parked it in the driveway instead of the garage. I backed out of the garage this morning and hit it.

I'm sorry MGP! That really sucks. When my truck broke down recently the repair was just a hair shy of my takehome pay for the entire month and were it not for Mr RH, I would have had to put it on the card and pay for it later because I certainly hadn't planned on spending TWO PAYCHECKS on a freaking car. I don't understand why they can't build machines to last and why hunks of metal to fix the car can cost as much as the car is worth. Jerkheads |

Fishy I did the same thing last year, and my son did it the first day we brought home the new truck (the one I'm going to whine about below). I feel your pain. I'll join the pity party: I took the F350 to VT in early August, no worries. Drove it last week (DH is primary driver) and commented to DH that the brakes were grinding and stiff, remarkably changed in only 4 weeks. DH called me last Friday to tell me the brakes had failed completely as he entered a parking lot (no damage, no one hurt). Picked up truck from dealership last night follwing repair: $1250. Truck has 62k miles. Warranty expired - you guessed it - at 60k. GAH! |

Oh yeah, because PONIES aren't money pits... I hear you on the truck thing. Ours limped home from the horse show last weekend again. I've been looking around for a new one that won't cost a fortune, but the truth is that just about any good truck is expensive. I had to explain to my dad that even though an F-150 is quite nice and certainly more powerful than my little SUV, perhaps it would not be the best decision for our heavy gooseneck rig... |

LOL WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!! Ponies are definitely money pits. In fact I had one once that I was going to show under the name "Money Pit" or "There Goes my 401k". Fishy SO sorry to hear about your little fender bender.... ugh! |

Oh! I'm sorry for all the truck/car troubles going around! to all! I live in fear that my wonderful '99 F350 with over 200K miles will die. It has been the best truck, no problems at all.

Ugh. I feel ya. DH ran into the back of someone this winter and the damage on our vehicle was too much to justify fixing with the costs of other maintenance. We didn't have collision on it b/c it was so old and had over 200k miles on it - so, we sold it to CarMax and out that money on our CC to pay down and are now STILL borrowing one of my parents' cars - and we will eventually have to return it. Oh, and we just spent $1500 on the OTHER vehicle we own to repair it. I'm so happy, I could just drive nails into my brain - that would be more fun. Around here, the "Cash for Clunkers" was such a hit, there's not that many decent use cars to buy, so whatever is available is more expensive than it used to be. I.can't.win.I've eaten a 1/4 of a big bag of dark chocolate M&M's writing this, I think.
