Long story short, my car was towed to the darned garage this am, $60 just like that, badda boom, badda bing, and the mechanic won’t even be able to look at the darn thing until Monday afternoon. I was informed that it doesn’t look good and that my car would most likely be out of commission for several days and I’m sure to the tune of some major bucks! This really bites!
With the holiday weekend right around the bend, I need and want my car on the road and running!
I have always enjoyed tree houses. My dad built me and my brothers one of the best tree houses in the neighborhood and I would love to do the same one day for my kids, if that were to ever happen. Today when I signed onto the Internet this story and picture popped up and I couldn’t help checking it out further. This is one serious tree house my friends.
“Everything will reflect in this — the trees, the birds, the clouds, the sun, everything. So it should be invisible nearly in the forest.”
But the architects built it, one of six units in a “Treehotel,” which recently opened 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Sweden”
Today I took my car in for it’s much needed oil change and just as always, they found a few other issues that need tending to, and I walked away paying over close to $400 and the need to schedule an appointment next week, to bring it back in once the rest of the parts have come in, sigh…..
I was hoping that my tax refund check was going to be a bit larger than it ended up being. I did my taxes online this year, but when the actually check was deposited into my account it wasn’t the amount that my computer said it would be. That really sucks.
I was hoping to be able to buy a new car this year. I’ve been spending a good amount of time on the computer looking at a variety of vehicles that have caught my eye. My father would like to see me in a mercedes benz cls, wouldn’t that be something? My mother would like to see me behind the wheel of her favorite car which happens to be an aston martin. Like that would really happen! I really like the looks of the new infiniti g37 myself. But reality keeps me in check and I do believe that when I’m ready I’ll be looking for a kia sorento, it’s a good deal all the way around and suits me just fine.
But for now my Honda Accord will hopefully keep me on the road until I can come up with some money in order to get myself a brand new vehicle.
Knowledge is power and the Internet is a powerful tool for today’s consumers that is being taken more seriously these days. When I moved here my car insurance premiums went up and I remember complaining to my insurance agent about the rate increase. He informed me that I had moved into a different “territory” which they believe deserve charging a larger premium for. Now how crazy is that?
There has been a ton of commercials pushing insurance these past couple of years. The Internet allows you to research low cost car insurance without all the phone calls involved like back in the last century. (I’ve always wanted to say that) By going online you can find money saving auto ins tips with sites that help you compare coverages and rates. It’s certainly the most practical way of shopping for your insurance needs.
I found an interesting website that deals with low cost insurance issues at onlineautoinsurance.com. There is a lot of good information to read, links to all kinds of information related to insurance needs and concerns. I even watched one of their low income ins video online promotions that was worth watching, that is on YouTube.com.
I’ve decided that I’m going to start shopping around for a better deal on my car insurance. I hate to leave my current agent though. I used to work for him years ago and he always takes such good care of me, but if he can’t get my rates down I’ve gotta find some one else to do the job for me and there is plenty to choose from out there these days folks!
