Why is it when you pay off a vehicle and you think you'll have extra cash that said vehicle decides it wants to keep it's fingers in your wallet? The friggin water pump on the GP decides it wants to blow a seal. So this weekend will be spent ripping out the old one and putting in a new one. Last week it was the dang window.

Car doesn't want to be taken for granted now it's paid for! Just reminding you "I'm here!"

I would say I cant complain since my was paid for but as soon as I say that it will puke something.

The real problem is that by the time you get car paid for these days it has so many miles on the clock its close to worn out...or at least worn enough to demand attention.

It could have been worse. WP shouldn't take more than a couple of hours and isn't real expensive.

Well when you were going to use that cash to get some capsules it gets frustrating.
