Car Woes

We've had a bit of car trouble for the past week. Of course, the car started having trouble while I was driving it. Part of the clutch went out while I was running errands, and I got stranded in a shopping center parking lot. Nobody was around to give me a ride and Kevin wasn't answering his phone, so I hoofed it the 2.5 miles home. Walking usually isn't such a big deal, but I had injured my foot a couple days before and with all the walking it swelled and started to really hurt. Luckily a friend was able to pick up Kevin from work and drive us to our stranded car. It turns out the car repairs weren't major and the car was easily fixed once the parts came in. We ended up renting a car for a few days while the car was in the shop. All in all, we were very lucky but were forced to acknowledge our car's waning health. We have now started looking for a new car-something more practical than a two-door sports car.
