Damn letting things go, 2003-07-02, 11:09 a.m.
In case you've ever considered it, never let a small car problem go because you don't think you have the money to fix it. It will get bigger. And cost more money.
We had a vibration in the car. We knew something had come loose. We've learned it was the heat shield or something of that manner. We should have gotten it fixed but kept saying 'when we have money - when this happens and when that happens, we'll fix it'.
So we didn't have it fixed yet. And it vibrated through the intake pipe or something of that matter. Causing a huge hole in it, making the car sound horrid. We now have to have it fixed. This was sunday.
Monday we brought it in. They said it was the intake pipe. (Or whatever. For the purposes of this story that is what it is. So there.). They couldn't get the part Monday, so we had to bring it in today. No problem. It's there.
We just got a call. See, we have a 99 saturn wagon. The part they ordered fits 98 and before. 99 and after, you have to get the part from the dealer. And it's not the cheap little piece. Its a 309$ piece. And if we don't fix it, it'll get much worse. And the car sounds horrid.
So we have to fix it. Have to fix it. But damn. Never let things go. NEVER LET THINGS GO. It'll only get worse. Just so you know.
If you take nothing else from my diary, take that. Learn from my mistake. NEVER LET THINGS GO!!!!!!!
