car nonsense

This week has been kinda crazy guys.
Last week on Beau's commute to work, our car broke down.
It had to be towed and taken to a mechanic.  
And of course the mechanic couldn't do anything, so we had to take it to the dealership.
Well, after replacing the car's computer (which cost us a good grand), we were on our way again 
and were just relieved to put our car issues behind us.


Or so we thought.

Two days ago, only six days since the car was last at the dealership, our car broke down in the exact same manner again.  And of course it was on Beau's way to work again.
He had to take the day off on Monday and get the car towed to the dealership...once again.
Well, they remembered us of course and were surprisingly decent about the whole thing. 
They're going to send us a check to reimburse us for the towing.
They gave us a rental car to use for the day (on their bill) while they took a look at our car.

And unfortunately, after all their inspections and tests, they still couldn't figure out what was wrong.
They apparently think it is one of three possible problems...but until one of those three things actually break, they won't know which it is.  Come on, don't we have something that can check that without just playing the waiting game?? Apparently not. 

So they sent us on our merry way home with the car yesterday.  Beau said it drove fine, 
so let's just hope that it stays that way.
On the plus side, the dealership didn't charge us for anything though.
Thankfully.

Bad News...

Well, I have finally completely given up on our car ever working again.

Thank you Transport Services for screwing over my family.

Too unhappy at present to explain more.

Soooo, what to do what to do?

1) E-mail Transport Services a very "tactful" message

2) Bake (when I'm frustrated, it's either baking or cleaning and I choose baking tonight)


Bloody bones!


Made out of yummy homemade breadsticks!

Sadly this is my phone at present. Meaning until I get a working car, I cannot text anyone because I will not have a working phone. I can make phone calls, but only if I know the phone number by heart. As much as I have loved this phone, the fact that it can only be fully operated as a touch phone is rather inconvenient right now...


Poor poor phone...

Sick day


At home curled up in sweatpants, studying for a Biopsychology exam, and missing my husband. What more to do than pass the time away by listening to Sugarland's and Taylor's new albums?

Car update (somewhat good, somewhat not)


We finally have our car! It is actually IN OUR POSSESSION! It was towed to our apartment this morning from Honolulu. I thought we would never see our car again. Of course it is not in the best condition. On top of not starting and leaking oil, it has a flat tire. But, thanks to some AWESOME neighbors, it will hopefully be in better shape tomorrow! Further updates will follow. Hopefully they will be positive updates.

Car troubles...

Today was the day Beau and I went to Honolulu to pick up our car! The car was delivered to the shipping company on July 16, and FINALLY on September 21, we have received visual of the car. The newest problem? The car is leaking oil and will not start. Hmm, thank you Transport Services for all your disorganization, lack of communication, and various methods of scamming. Worst company EVER.

This did not make for a happy day.
