So 2003 has started out horribly for me. 1st thing to go are my front brakes. 400.00. Then a week later slide into a curb due to icy roads bend a control arm and tie rods. Shop estimates damage at 419.00 then when I get the car back he tells me it's 680.00. Needless to say I didn't pay it all. Day after I get the car back from shop 2, my landlord's dad backs into my car. Says he can't see the bright red car behind him. Greeeeaaaaat. That's not all, this morning go outside to find a slashed tire. F this I need to go into hibernation for the rest of the winter.

Hope you can work things out man.

Sometimes things seems to be as bad as they can be... but, at least you're still alive and can actually do something about it. Good Luck.

It seems that when ever the bad stuff happens, it all hits you at once. I know how that goes. Everyone does, actually.

Last semester was pure hell for me. Now it's looking up. Sometimes it happens on it's own and sometimes you have to work at it.

It get better.

Oh, do what I do. Go outside and look at your car and remind yourself that it belongs to you. Always brings a smile.
