My car is in the shop again. I'll get it back tomorrow, a new axle boot, a new headlight, rotated tires, and $400 later. I could've done the headlight myself, but last time it took three hours and a lot of frustration, so I'm saving myself the trouble. I may be paying too much for some of this, but I know the guy is honest about what needs to be done now, and what can wait.
In the meantime, I'm driving a loaner. A Saturn L300, I think, with a DVD player! That's pretty neat. I had to test it out on the way home, so I threw the Smallville pilot in (the only DVDs we had at work... hee) and listened to it on the way home. The screen can only be seen from the back seat, but it was fun to listen.
The guy who brought the car by was trying to sell me on the Saturn, a used car I could get a good deal on. One of his selling points? It even has heated seats! Um, hello? It was A HUNDRED AND EIGHT DEGREES OUTSIDE TODAY. Talk to me about heated seats in the winter, mmkay? Thanks.
