40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
'If we give what we've got, we will make it through.'
In other news, my car went up to the local mechanic last night for it's scheduled oil change. When the guy working on my car unscrewed the cap to drain the oil, said oil was "milky". Why?
BECAUSE THERE WAS FUCKING FLUID IN THE OIL!!!
I cannot believe this! This was the exact same problem I had with the GrandAm, only then we knew for sure that it was coolant that was leaking into the oil. Dan and Brian don't even know what got into the oil in the Saturn. And of course they don't know why this is happening, especially since Dan reccommended getting a Saturn for my next car because there was a lesser chance of the coolant and oil mixing from the way the engine is built.
So the car goes back to Hanlin's next week to see if there is more fluid getting into the oil from somewhere or if this was just a one time fluke thing (pray for fluke, people! pray for fluke!). My dad is having me lock my car whenever I drive it and park it somewhere, just in case there's "foul play" involved (his theory, not mine).
