My car spat out two pistons on the highway today, fixing it will be too expensive too. I'm glad nobody got hurt, as it was a rather large blowup, with a very impressive trail of oil on the road.
But I'm pretty sad about losing my car.
Since I don't really have any cash to buy a new one, I'll have to take the bus to work for a few months unless my boss decides to give me another car...
It took me the better part of the day to get my sense of humour back, but after a few beers with my friends I now realize it's just a car. If it was my bike, i'd be in tears now.
