About Me

I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

Venting on Cars, Mechanics and Lies!

And now, I will vent my frustration!

My car has been out of commission for about a month now. Apparently the computer on it is dead. So I took it to the mechanics, I paid a $350 deposit, he ordered a new computer for it and sent me on my way. He said it would take two weeks. Those two weeks were hell. I didn’t have a car and neither did my sisters. So I spent a lot of time walking, sucking up my pride, asking for rides, things of that nature. I figured I could survive two weeks. Well, they were hard but I made it through. The day finally came and so the mechanic finally ends up telling me that apparently my cars computer has to be reconstructed because my car is old. So he tells me it is going to be another week. I end up accepting as he tells me that he should receive the car part last Friday.

Then, last Friday, I called and (surprise, surprise!) the part is not in. So I figured I would wait it out the weekend, I call him today and all he has to say to me is that he doesn’t know when the part will be in. so I immediately ask him, what he means when he says he doesn’t know and he tells me he is going to call me back! All of this while they are sitting on my $350 Deposit!

SO either today or tomorrow I’m going over there to complain and if I have to I will call Curtis (some investigative news fellow that does special reports on people that get ripped off) because this is getting ridiculous! I haven’t had a car in over a month and I need my car! I hate used cars, mechanics, dodge, and anything having to do with automobiles or automotive parts right now!

Oh J. I know the feeling of being without a car for a long period. My husband had a heart attack while driving and we had a wreck. I was without a car for at least two months or longer but I'm sure you being younger need your car more then I did. Hope you got some results today. We have those news guys who can help you solve things too and it seems to work.
