So I'm planning to go down to Harrisonburg next weekend, the 15th, to visit friends and have some fun. I set a date, contacted my boss, got that saturday off, drove on the highway to get more practice since I need to drive on the interstate to go down there, got the car checked out because my parking brake light wasn't turning off all the time...

I pick up the car today and learn that the transmission is faulty. It could go anytime but there's no way to say when. It's $3200 to fix. Takes 2-3 days. I have a week before going down, my parents and I don't know what to do. We have the money for it but like hell we want to spend it. And we're pissed too because the user car dealership sold us the car with the problem, we heard the whining that indicated this when we purchased it. At the time though, we didn't know what the issue was and didn't think much of it. Unfortunately, we have no recourse because there's no way to prove that they knew about the issue. We're most likely going to just have to bite the bullet and spend it because what else can we do? I'm not getting rid of it to get a new one. It has to get replaced at some point, might as well get it over with in my opinion. We're just pissed about the price and our stupidity.

So yeah, I'm hoping to get it fixed so I can go down. Otherwise, I'm not going down, or I'm "stealing" my dad's car.

At least they're willing to put money towards it... My (grandparents') truck likely hasn't had a tune-up or oil change in a long time, and had a pretty severe leak, but they won't put any more money into it...

So when the service soon light comes on, I just ignore it

I learned today that my CD player in the car doesn't work, the CDs won't automatically be pulled in. And I don't want to attempt to force it in more than I did, I can get them out if I don't jam it there.

So that made me pissed too.

Also my digital wristwatch face seems to have died.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
