Worst day ever

Two days ago was one of those days where you just want to crawl into a hole. Chris and I bought a 96 Honda Accord a few weeks ago, like I mentioned in another blog. It needed a few repairs so it was at a friend's getting fixed. Tuesday we got it back and we just needed to get an oil change, alignment, and safety and emissions done before we could get it on the road. We took it to the shop to get all that done in one stop, and it didn't pass safety for a few reasons. Two of the problems were small, a dim light and the battery needed to be secured. That was no problem. The third problem was that the exhaust was leaking and it needed to be replaced. It was only a 300 dollar part, don't worry. So we said to just go ahead and do it. So all together we ended up spending 400 dollars for that plus another 400 dollars for the other repairs we had done on it. Chris then drove our fixed car home, while Thy and I headed to the gym.
I got out of the car and shut the door. Thy then says, "Where are your keys?" Then I turned around and desperately tried to open the already locked door, but it was no use. Luckily we were close to my mom's house who had a spare key. Then I look down and notice that I don't even have tennis shoes on. I had forgotten that I was just wearing flip flops, so we can't work out at the gym anyways! We decided to just go back home after my mom saved the day with the spare.
Later that evening Chris and I decided we wanted to take our fixed car out for a spin and.... IT WOULDN'T START! That was the final straw. I tried to be happy and just laugh all the other stuff off, but I was just angry now. We took it back to our friend the next day to check it out, and it needed a new starter. While he was fixing that we told him to replace the timing belt while he was at it. That ended up being another pretty costly repair.
Then later that night we were trying to replace the burnt out headlight on the car, but even the new bulb wasn't working. Oh great, now there's a costly electrical thing going on. Turns out it was just missing a fuse in the fuse box. After about an hour of dinking around under the hood we finally figured out that that was the problem.
10:30 pm last night we finally had all the problems fixed and we now have a working car without any problems! I hate cars!
