Car Trouble...

No photos for this one, just need to vent about our car issues in the last week.

Started last weekend, I thought the Camry wasn't quite sounding right, so we took it in on Tuesday when Ed was working from home due to the snow, and dropped a few hundred dollars on a new water pump. Something that should last 100,000+ miles on a Camry, but apparently we just got a bad one.

Then Friday morning when I was driving home from work, started to notice a suspicious sound when I was braking, so took that in for inspection while I slept between working. Turns out we had to drop another few hundred on a new set of brakes. Lovely.

So we thought we were done, both cars in the shop in one week....

but No... this morning I went out to clean snow off my car and warm up before heading out to lunch. 2 hours later, went to start car to actually leave for lunch and it wouldn't start! Good thing Aunt Jill was here visiting, she helped me jump it and get it started. Took it to Tires Plus to have the battery looked at, and not only did we need that but a few other maintenance items totalling another few hundred dollars!

Awesome! Aren't we spending enough money next week when we close on the house, why does God think we should drop more this week! Well, we are hoping this happened so we don't need to search for a mechanic immediately when we move next week!
