The things I truly depend on are the things I take for granted... such as my car. Thus it is devastating when something goes wrong.

Something went wrong.

The power steering wheel belt broke Saturday morning, which turned out to be because of a broken harmonic balance. The dealer was closed so I had it towed to a different place, which was mistake number 1. Mistake number 2 was when I couldn't find the button to pop open the hood, showing just how incompetent and car illiterate I am... I may as well have signed a written consent for them to rip me off. Between now and then I receive about three more phone calls telling me how many more parts broke, how much more work/time they need, and how much the price will escalate. Finally I told them to stop everything because I am getting it towed to the dealer... which I did.

I guess the lesson learned here is always get my car to the dealership, eve if they're closed.
