So Charles decided he wanted a Blizzard and some movies, so I go to get it all for him and get to Kroger to pick up some Kleenexes and soda and the stupid car won't start!!!!! **curses curses** I realize its the security thingy (yes, that's the official term) and call my dad (since its his car). He doesn't really have any ideas either, so I just call Charles and have him come get me (in the OTHER broken car...)
See, here is the situation; Charles and I own two cars, a Jaguar and an Audi. Sounds nice, huh? Yeah, well, it would be if they didn't break down all the time. The Audi had transmission issues in 2005, and we got it fixed and bought the warranty, and then lost the keys... yeah, it sat for nearly a year unused in our garage. We then got new keys and the car had a whole new set of problems: brakes, burns oil, and since it sat for a year, expired plates. *sigh* Well, in the meantime of the Audi being down we were just using the Jag and it was fine then one day it just stopped as I backed out of the driveway and the display said "engine failure" or something like that... Its been out of commission since late fall. They are both so ridiculously expensive to fix... and at then to add insult to injury, the Jag's plates expire at the end of the month. *sigh* There goes our tax return........ Anyway, so we've been borrowing my parent's extra car - which has now decided to drop dead. Life hates us, its definitely official now. What have I done to deserve this bad Karma?!?!

Bad car karma is never your fault. Its actually the car's (unless of course you really abuse it). Our tax return is going to a new (to us) car since we now have to upgrade to minvan-ness. The car we have now tried to die on us last week during a big snow, but thought better of it. Its hoping to be turned in for trade rather than junked or donated to Goodwill. Appeal to your cars' sense of self preservation, always works with us. :D
Thank you for your kind words. :-)
My parents are otw up here right now to try the 2nd key and the "emergency" key and we will check the fuses... if that doesn't work we will send it to the dealer to be "reset". (And be out of a car for a few days...) Oh, isn't life grand??
