I thought I'd share it with you

You think you have problems?

One of the women I work with has a car. She used to have another car. The first car was a 1998 with 78000 miles on it when she bought it 2 years ago. She thought it was a good deal, until it started having problems last year. It turns out, someone had put a junkyard engine in it, and it had gone bad. Well, lacking the money for a brand new engine, she had someone put in another rebuilt junkyard engine. After the mechanic had her car for 4 months, she finally got her car back in February. All excited, she drove off, with no warnings from the mechanic. After 800 miles of driving, the car started making loud noises. She returned it to the mechanic who said that her car had run out of oil. Now, I'm not sure how this is possible if the car was fixed properly the first time, but that's beside the point. Anyway, she was so sick of her car, that she had already sold it by this point, hoping that it would be fine and dandy. Well, fortunately the people still bought the car, and she was free to buy her latest car. As she was picking it up today (the first day she's had it), the check engine light came on. Now she's hoping that there isn't something more serious wrong with it. At least a cold office is fixed by a sweater, not the possibility of thousands more dollars!
