Why do cars always have to be rushed to the mechanics at the most inconvenient time

Last week I drove the truck into a ditch. I was not hurt. This happened on my home from work and my guardian angel sure watched over me because it happened a block from the house

So after getting the great SUV with 4 wheel drive out of about 4 feet of mud and ick the next day it gets towed to the mechanics. 5 days later, a rental car paid for by the mechanics and $1100 I finally get to pick up my car tomorrow Chat Icon

Turns out the whole timing belt and everything with it was no longer any good which caused the water pump to burst which caused the water to go all over the radiator, the car to overheat and also have to have some hoses replaced.

This has happened at the worst time Chat Icon

Ugh, there's never a good time! I am glad you were ok.

Last year there were TWO occasions where I had a problem with my car and on the way to picking me up DH's car broke down too! Chat Icon We should have bought lottery tickets! What are the chances?

Ugh! It seems like everything happens at once too so you have to drop a bundle! Glad to hear you're okay at least! Chat Icon
