Car Trouble
My first car was a red 1999 Pontiac Sunfire. It wasnt in top condition when I first got it, but it still was worth having. I got a new finder put on it because the first one was bent up pretty bad. I also got new tires put on it and got new floor mats for it. That car gave me so me problems. Time passed and soon I had to put new brakes and rotors on it because the ones that were on it were rusted. I thought I was finally finish with it and finish spending money. Everything went great for a while until I was leaving college one day on my way to the dentist. The temperature hand went up and my car begin to smoke. Before I could pull to the side of the road it had cut off. It was so cold outside that day and me and my friend were just stuck on the side of the road for hours. We never got my car to crank back up. Needless to say I lost my Pontiac Sunfire. Two months later my mom gave me her Ford Expedition. It was in good shape and she had only had it for about a year. I thought I had finally gotten rid of my car troubles. But soon to see they returned and were more expesive. I was driving my aunt back to her college on a rainy day and my truck slid out of control almost hitting a very deep ditch. So now I had to pay for new tires for the truck. Next I had to get a new heater coil and water pump put on because the truck started to run hot while driving. I spent my whole FedEx check to get it fixed. It rounded up to be almost $650. I decided to quit my job because I got tired of spending all my money on the truck. I soon came to regret that because next my window motor went out and I could let my window up or down. The problems just kept occuring back to back. Car troubles are so stressful.

What you said my car has recently been giving me a little trouble. I drive a 2000 Honda civic that I bought in 2005. I was trying hard not to have a carnote but it was unavoidable. As lately it has been cutting off smoking and I think its time for brakes again. The upkeep of a car is stressful and expensive. I thank God my little car has lasted as long as it has because I am constantly on the go and never stopping. From tires to brakes to window shield or paint job. A car is a lot of work an does what it wants. It might run cold, or hot or not crank at all it just depends on I guess the day.
