i like cars, cars like me, and then they explode

indeed. cars eh. funny things with four wheels that suck most of your moneys away and some people become addicted to changing bits here and there on them.

well u never know when itll break down right?
yea well u can get it serviced regularly (~800+$AU a year) doesnt make them cheap, but maintenance definetly keeps them going better. Also making sure u have rego and mandatory 3rd party insurance (another ~800+$AU a year) isnt much fun either.

well yesterday my car decides it wants to screw up a head or gasket on one of the cylinders (its sucking in water with the feul) for no apparent reason. fun.. i am car-less and i detest public transport.

im a little more than annoyed since i just had its 100,000km service about 4000kms ago and there was apparently nothing wrong with it.. makes you think.. well at least makes me think of killing my mechanic.. but then again.. its hard to find one you trust (not to mention get rid of a dead body).

all sorted now. it was the head after all. water was leaking into the pistons.
all fixed under 500$au cos of going to family mechanic (which is say 200-1K cheaper than what i thought it would of cost me elsewhere) so suffice to say. i have a fully functional car again and am once again driving around like a lunatic.
