I feel like ever since Nicole and I began saving money things keep happening that we must spend it on. Most recently, the car began acting up. The repair shop said we needed a new catalytic converter to the tune of $1,300 but luckily we told them to fuck off and called a mechanic friend who said there's no way our cat went bad. Turns out the new light that turned on was from a faulty brake sensor that was recalled and replaced for free. We've known for months that the O2 sensor went bad which made the check engine light come on and the engine felt like it was missing so we replaced the spark plugs.
We've ordered new O2 sensors (for $200) to replace this weekend so the check engine light will finally turn off but since our last oil change we've noticed an oil leak. Funny how there wasn't one ever before and then the oil is changed and now there is a leak. I really hope it's just a loose filter and nothing serious.
Damn it all.

Sorry man, that sucks!
I hate nothing more than car repairs... Stupid new tires, oil changes, and recalled air filters... Lame. At least I passed the emissions testing with flying colors, and my car is a real Colorado car.
