You know the saying, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
okay, so my X's truck broke down. He is in a hard place (as am I) with finances and is starting a new job very soon so having your vehicle go down is not good.
I was asked to assist, and I am/did.
It's a clunker, cheap and fairly wore out but us poor people got to do what we got to do.
My unfamiliarity with this type of truck set me back a few hours in trying to figure out where all the water you put in the radiator was running out from the motor but i seem to be in the right track. My time outside in the cold wind without the more correct tools is just a donation, the parts required is a loan of sorts. I can't afford much to give but am hopeful that the cost of the parts will be under 150. I go to the auto store in the morning and hopefully will have the thing back up and running before dark.
Oh, and I hit a deer on the way back home...My car is still drive-able but the front bumper seems to be busted and the drivers head light assembly is busted.
I have state minimum coverage so...and I could not afford a deductible anyway. Hopefully I can repair the damage to the plastic and replace the assembly but it will be a while before i can get to it due to this loan and needing a bunch of money soon for to pay my state taxes (my employer doesn't take out state taxes and it really fucks me over in taxes)
