Why you should not get your oil changed--

I am terrible at getting my oil changed.

I always put it off until the last minute & then usually end up forgetting about it for another weekish, monthish, yearish hahaha 

Ok, really I don't put it off for a whole year.

But I'm pretty sure I've gotten close. 

Anywho... Yesterday I took my car in for an oil change 

(BTW I had a free one so it was free and I was happy)

A few hours later I get a phone call from the mechanic

& I think my car is done and I can pick it up.

Wrong.

Turns out they found some broken things and oil leaks blah blah blah

so my free oil change now will end up costing around $600!

And then I died a little inside. 

It gets worse...

The mechanic calls me AGAIN an hour later to tell me he found a crack in my radiator. 

Apparently this is something that must be fixed--

Oh and it will be about $300. 

FML.

I told him to just leave it all alone for now. 

Branden can surely figure out how to fix some of it, right?

It's times like these that I wish I married a mechanic instead of a plumber. Oh well it will come in handy when my toilet breaks :)

(Just kidding. I love my plumber husband!)

The moral of the story is.....

Just don't get your oil changed.

Because then you will never know about these problems & you can just continue to live a stress free life.

Until your car breaks down in the middle of the road while driving. 

(Details ;))

P.S. We OWE on our taxes.

I tell ya, when it rains it freaking pours!
