I'm Not Going To Make It to 40...

I'm not - my stress level is just too high. DH just called, and said he was stranded at the side of the road because from what he can tell, the timing belt just went KAPOW!

Now mind you, this is the car from hell, and I've been smart enough to keep AAA on it, so of course he can get it towed - but it's 11PM on a Friday night here, and he's 20 minutes away from home, so wherever he gets it towed to, he's virtually stuck there unless someone else answers their phone and is willing to drive him home. Even then, it's a matter of getting BACK there, since we're a one car family.

You know the line in Transfomers where he calls the car Satan's Camaro? This is Satan's Sable. I can submerge it in holy water, and I don't think it would help. It's an evil money draining pit, and I know why I refuse to get my driver's license - my feet work just fine, thank you very much. *pound head* *pound head*

We're a one jeep family too. I mean my husband does have a motorcycle, but there are not that many days in the year he can use it here. So I hear your pain. We have been in a fix once in the past too, but not because we have a bad vehicle. It was when my husband was taken from work via ambulance to the hospital. Took me awhile to figure out how I was going to get about an hour away to get his vehicle.
Thanks to my younger sis who lives in another town coming and helping me out. Otherwise I don't know what I would have done. P.S. I can't drive the motorcycle, my legs are too short and it weighs too much.

Crud. Been there, done that. Hopefully you can get the beast fixed soon.
