Let's see....someone broke into my car to steal the radio. *That was

Some idiot hit my car, ripping off the driver's side mirror - fixed
and paid for.

Then I got fired, and filed for bankruptcy the same day.

Never never NEVER say 'what else could happen?' *Bad move.

I totaled my car yesterday. *My beloved, red, paid-off, excellent
condition Mazda. * WAHHHH!!! * I'm devastated. *I'm also bruised, but
I'll heal. *The other idiot was driving too fast, but it's still my
fault because I turned in front of him. *Silver car, gray parking lot
- I never saw him coming.

So...halfway through a bankruptcy, seriously bad credit rating,
unemployed for a month and a half, but starting a new job on
Monday.....and now no car for the 33 mile commute.

I need lots of chocolate now.

I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck, but I'm glad you weren't more
seriously hurt. *Where is your new job location?

The new job is up in the Baltimore area, and there's no chance of
public transportation to there.
This time a car is a necessity, not a luxury. After 4 years of being
able to Metro to work, it's
going to be hard to adjust to.

I have good new already, though. I have found a couple of possible
cars that
1) are in decent condition, and
2) are at a price so that I can pay CASH

No worrying about 'last chance bank' loan shark interest rates,
although I was considering it.
Finding a decent car for under $4000 isn't all that hard, thanks to
Craigslist! And I'll be able
to spend my first week at the new job actually concentrating on the
new job, instead of
finding a car.

This is not how I planned on spending my last weekend of 'vacation',
though.

Ouch, I feel your pain, Jane. Or at least I empathize with it. I just
finished paying off my car in February, and not having those payments
made things a lot easier.

Three silver linings: You didn't end up in the morgue You didn't wake
up in a hospital with the news that you are now a quadriplegic. And
you do have that new job.

But I'm sure things look bleak, right now. Is there anyway you can
rent a car for the immediate term?

Oh, I'm in a rental now, and insurance covers it, but as soon as my
car is
officially declared totaled, that ends. I think I"ll have only a few
days after
that to find something else to drive, or else pay for my own rental.
You're right, at least I didn't get hurt badly, but now I get to deal
with the
pain and misery of finding a new car very quickly, with no money and
no
credit. I feel like a teenager again! lol

I am wincing in sympathy here!

Sorry can;t send chocolate (It would melt) but I can send lots of
purrs- and a "virtual" bar of Green and Black's

Wow! What a rotten break. Major purrs coming for a way through for you
and for better luck for the rest of the year.

Sam

Mega purrs heading your way that things will start going well for you! Good
luck with the new job, I hope it works out well - do you have any kind of
bus service you can use?

you a large box of cyber chocolates, all different kinds :-)

That is good news! As long as it's reliable, it doesn't have to
be too fancy, right? I don't think I'll ever buy a new car again.
It's really great to be able to just hand over a check, take home
the car, and that's the end of it. No car payments. I've found a
number of used cars that have lasted a while.

This is not how I planned on spending my last weekend of 'vacation',
though.

Yeah, the downside of used cars is that you have to do a lot more
legwork. I hope you find something soon!
