one less worry
you know what makes me happy?
when i drop off the car for (expected) maintenance and repair at a new shop, and the guy at the desk tells me he's envious of the roadtrip and that "you don't see many cars like this one around anymore." and then the second mechanic calls me back and says "You know, this car is in really great condition! Is that the original mileage on there? Wow."
so Matilda's getting a new muffler-pipe, an oil/etc change, and four shiny new tires. it's another big pile of money, but the exhaust pipe's been broken for months now, and i knew the tires were looking pretty sad. (i haven't really taken care of them, and Matilda's never had a garage. so, better to get them replaced now than to have one blow in the middle of Texas.)
wheee!
(also, i should make an icon for Matilda. hm.)
