What a Way to Start the New Year

Tweet

Seems like 2018 is starting out just as rotten as 2017 was. My partner came home early from his part-time evening job (which he works in addition to his full-time day job) because his car "broke." He's not sure what's wrong with it, he said that it just started shaking while he was driving it and the check engine light kept flashing. He was able to drive it home but obviously something's wrong and he will need to have it towed into the shop. He knows nothing about cars so has no idea what's wrong with it. He just bought this car about 7 months ago, it was used but it's a newer car so it shouldn't be having major problems already. Hopefully whatever is wrong is an easy (and inexpensive) fix. This is just what we need, another unexpected expense! And of course this would happen in the middle of winter, on the week we're supposed to have nonstop rain! My partner is not going to be happy walking back and forth to work in the cold rain until the car gets fixed.
