My car tops my list today!
2 years ago I did a totally impulsive thing and bought a used Land Rover Discovery before I knew that they are about the most break down prone vehicle on the market and that the costs of parts and labor to repair them rival Mercedes and BMW.
So, after replacing the short block and doing a complete valve job for about $9000 the car ran fine until the brakes started acting up. Managed to fix that myself but then the transfer case sprang a leak and that ran me $1200 to overhaul. Now my engine is knocking like something is not good inside and the rebuilt engine only has about 24000 miles on it.
So it sits in my driveway because until the home I inherited from my parents after they died but never wanted has not sold and the bank account runs low each month which precludes me from having my car looked at. And I need to see a dentist. CRAP.
On the other hand, a friend just had brain surgery to remove a tumor and another friend's wife died unexpectedly.
So I guess, this too shall pass.
