My Car Died Today

by Ed

I tried to go to work this morning and had to leave after a couple of hours. This head cold was still bothering me and I was starting to cough up another lung so I left early. On the way home the engine light came on and I was close enough to drive straight to the mechanic. I got to the last light before the shop and the car completely shut down. After a couple of minutes I was able to start it back up and creep into the lot. After letting it cool off the estimate to fix it was approximately three thousand dollars.

Well, time to go car shopping…..

The car had 221,000 miles on it and was 14 years old…….It served it's purpose and then some.

What a way to end the week

Anyway, what kind of car are you considering to buy?
