Just my luck.

Explain something to me. Why is it that the one time I wait a week to watch a movie that Netflix has shipped to me is one of the times that when I finally do open it, it's BROKEN? It's The Pianist, so I was waiting for a good time to watch. You have to get yourself in the mood for movies like that, you know?

Now they probably think that I've watched in six times and broke it from overuse.

To make matters worse, we found a potential buyer for my Honda who, understandably, wanted a mechanic to take a look at it. So, I took it back to the dealership. If you recall, I was there two weeks ago where they told me that the ABS needed to be resealed and muffler B-pipe replaced? Those were about $800 in repairs. I had them write that crap on the invoice to show what work I'd declined. Wasn't good enough, I guess.

Well, today they came back with a completely different number. $2500, because suddenly I need a muffler, and some other stuff they didn't catch two weeks ago. So, ... yeah. Basically, I could give the car away and feel like I'm coming away with the same profit, because nobody's going to give me $4,000 for it unless they have a hole in their head.
