car dealerships suck

so, being one of the first trials of my newlywed life, our car brokedown two weeks ago. one of the few things that actually right in this experience was that hollie still had her triple AAA membership. it expired 4 days after that. so we called up triple AAA to come tow our car for us. that was free. off to a good start huh? well, when the car made its way to the dealership we find out they won't be able to look at it til next tuesday, and it was only wednesday. so...whatever, we have to wait. as crap would have it we are supposed to go to my grandpa's funeral in SL that day. thank heavens for parents-in-law. luckily hollie's mom came and picked us up and they let us use their ancient isuzu trooper. it's quite the piece of work but at least we have a car to use. we make it to the funeral and use the trooper the rest of the week. we hoped the car would be fixed early but tuesday afternoon they called up and asked if they could make the repair. first i asked how much it was going to cost me. take a stab...$900!!! For a freaking fuel injector. But it had to be done and we went and picked it up the next day...a week later...and $900 less in my bank account. Freaking fixing my broken car sucks!
