Going To Pieces
November 3, 2006 @ 4:03 pm
My poor car is falling apart. That's what I said to Ron when I took it in earlier this week, little did I know how true it was. I was able to ignore the windows that don't roll down smoothly in cold weather (4 years), the brakes that sound like they're dragging (6 months), and the slow leak in one of the tires (2 months). What finally sent me to the shop was the horrible squeeking of a failing belt, and I figured I might as well get it all fixed. Turns out I was right - the window tracks need grease, the tires have dry rot (all except the one I had flattened two summers ago), and the brake calipers are rusted solid. Today, poor car. Tomorrow, poor wallet.Replies: 3 Comments
Glad you were able to drive it in, instead of having it towed.

Time for Dad to upgrade his Camry. Though I don't think he's currently in a spending mood :/

Yeah, I think my car is good for a few more years at least. It's only got 85K miles on it after all.
