Do I Really *Need* a Car?

I have a tendency to put things off--especially things I don't want to do. I don't like to deal with car issues. That includes oil changes and inspections and all those icky things. I don't like the way people at those places talk to me and treat me as though I'm an idiot. I mean, talk to me like I'm four because I really don't know much about cars--that's fine. Really. But don't make fun of me. Don't give a look that says, "Poor misguided female should've sent her husband." So what do I do? Send my husband.

My car was due for inspection in April. Oops. I sent Richard out to get it inspected today since he leaves for scout camp on Monday. It didn't pass. Apparently there are three leaks in the emissions system that the computer found. Here again I show my ignorance when it comes to car issues. I have no idea what that means electronically or in automobile terms. I fear that I do know what it means in financial terms. It means we're never, ever getting out of debt. Ever. Sigh.

I hate car issues. I don't know much about cars either but I can look intimidating and pretend I know!?! ;)

Bummer about the leaks. Yeah I am with you I don't know a darn thing. But I do all my car stuff, just eaiser, and I haven't really had anyone look at me funny. They might be doing it behind my back. lol And as long as I don't know about it, no one will get hurt! lol
