The Month of the Car Part 2
16 Jan
You can read about the month of the Explorer here.
David purchased a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid 15 months ago. Before you go thinking we’re rich, let me explain that a Civic Hybrid does not cost very much more than a regular Civic.
Last week David had a blowout. Although he was going 45 miles an hour at the time, he was not hurt, and we are so thankful for that. Poor David. It was 35 degrees and raining that night while he changed his tire. Not the greatest thing for his arthritis. All four tires were worn thin and had to be replaced. What sort of tires need to be replaced after a year or 20,000 miles?
Then the Civic needed an alignment. Of course, the alignment was no longer covered by the warranty. David made an appointment with the dealership, and they took three hours to do an allignment because “something was bent”. I should have known. They take an hour to do an oil change when I make an appointment. Poor David.
And so it seems that December was the month of the Explorer, and January is to be the month of the Civic. David kind of bumped the curb when he had the blowout, and he thinks the bumper is a little loose. Please God, let January also be the month David gets another job!
Oh no! So sorry for the car trouble! I had a horrible experience almost one year ago with Saturn…they quit making the part that makes the car go – whatever!
Thanks for stopping by my hipweddings site. Happy SITS Sharefest Saturday!
Crossing my fingers for a job for ya!

You poor things. I am sorry about your car troubles. I am sure we have all been there. I hope this is just a phase and it all passes.
Oh no! How stressful is that? So, over all, do you love the civic, or not so much? They do seem to run a long time. We need to get another car soon.
Ugh I hate car trouble. I got a flat tire about a week after buying my first new car. I got teary eyed at the tire store because the car was so new and I’d already put so much money into it. They ended up giving me the tire for half off! Hope your husband gets a job soon, positive thoughts going your way!
