can shit stop breaking on me now?

[fizzgig]

coffee pot, car battery and radio and now the television have crapped out on me in the last week. thankfully we didn't have to replace the battery just yet and the husband can likely fix the tv, but this is getting absurd.

1. My just out of warranty, just paid off, 65K miles car dropped its trans on Monday...

The week after I got it out of the shop for a $770 vent solenoid repair. It's going to cost $4185. Kind of a "Hey, you really are living on the edge, girl" moment for me.

2. oh bollocks

you've got me beat, good luck. good to see you, though.

3. It's good to see you too, fizzgig!

I'm sorry everything is breaking around you. It really sucks.

I am currently on round two of the great GM argument (it's a Saturn Outlook), and I am hoping they will at least pay part of the repair.

7. hope you can get something worked out with them

dad covered most of my car expenses up until about a year ago and I quickly learned how expensive they are. i dream of living somewhere i don't need one.

11. Thanks!

The funny thing is, I traded in my trusty old car for this one, thinking it would give me no troubles with routine maintenance. Yeah. They are expensive for sure.

8. holy crapoly....your suck runneth over

Thank you for the heads up. Remind me never to buy a Saturn. They should be replacing the tranny for free, imho. 65K miles is still a baby car in my universe!

12. If you run a Google search for "Saturn Transmission Problems," it's scary.

I'm one of the "lucky/unlucky" ones in that some dropped at 25K. Of course, those were in warranty. GM refuses to acknowledge there was a definite problem. If you're going to buy an Outlook, Acadia, Enclave, Traverse, makes sure it's 2010 or later... funny how they've changed the transmission system that they claim there was nothing wrong with.

6. ugh

appliance disasters are one of the times i'm happy to be a renter.

i'm hoping the cat barfing on the bed covers the third thing, i need everything we have left.

5. I'd say you're electrically challenged.

Anything to do with electricity breaks when you're around.

9. i do have the power to break things just by looking at them

it just usually isn't this bad

10. I sincerely hope it is just things...

And not people. Otherwise, I feel sorry for your poor hubby.
