The shop has a car they’ve just renovated from an insurance auction they can sell me for slightly more than it would have cost to fix and inspect the old one. We go for it, with one catch. They don’t have the title. Buying the car depletes us of most of the money we were saving toward our $2000 first installment.

It may be a test of a deeply personal nature that will change your life, and even make you look at the way the sun rises and sets in a whole new way. Other tests are of a more economical nature. The fact that my own check engine light reappeared during my 45 minute comute home today after a long day's work makes me think that I, too, am being tested. (I recently went $1200 further in debt making other repairs.) Fortunately, I have a crib sheet, and am willing to share the answers of God's test: Shout "damn! damn! sunnuvabitch!" while repeatedly slamming your fists against the dash and/or steering wheel. Cry. I am almost certain this is the correct answer. Sometimes, God tests you.

Two grand. In our case, we thought that taking a two grand gamble on another mini van wasn't worth it. You know, "the devil you know or the devil you don't" kinda deal.

There must be something in the air.

Yes, the smell of our money being burned up into uselessness!

At least you’ve got a wife with a car, y’know? I was so screwed at the time.
