I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
At that point you would almost certainly be better off getting a new (for you) car.
Yeah, probably.
Except we have no money at all - my dad will help out with the repair cost, but only up to about $1500. If it's more than that, no help, and the only money we'd have to buy a car with would be the $400 or so we'd get selling this one for parts. Which will get us...maybe half a scooter. Or a month and a half of zipcar. Fuck fuck fuck we're fucked.

I dunno, depends on the condition of the rest of the car. If everything else is working well, a car with a $3,000 new engine might be better than a $3,000 used car (plus taxes). A $3,000 dollar used car is probably going to need a repair (or maintenance) or two pretty soon. If you have the budget to buy a more expensive used car, then it's probably time to do it.

JZ, if you could get together a down payment (parental or sibling loan?) getting a newer, really reliable car would be so much better long-term, and honestly save money. And Toyota dealers, especially, seem to be willing to make deals right now - I looked locally and Toyota had some 60-month, 0% car loans available.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I believe the schedule's not great. I'll ask E at work for the full skinny.

I think the schedule is somewhat limited, but my DH used it for a year and a half and never had a problem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am annoyed because I can't get the screens in two of my living room windows all the way down. They keep coming out of the tracks, and even so, I can't figure out why I can't just shove them down! I guess they are down far enough that the cat won't jump out (unlikely anyway, I guess, but my cat is dumb), but still bugs could fly in. Do not want.
