ok, so I took my little vw golf to the shop on monday. It was all the way down in Blossom Hill, the south part of San Jose. No one could give me a ride back home except The Funk's tweeker friend. He basically wanted to give me a ride because The Funk told him that I would buy him lunch.
So I dropped the car off and we came back to Fremont. Tweeker said he wanted lunch at Texas Roadhouse, this kick ass BBQ and steak place. It wasn't open so he said he wanted to go to Tony Romas.
He ordered himself a bowl of tortilla soup, a ceasar salad, and a New York Steak. The bill with my lunch totalled over $42, not including tip. I could have gotten a cab to drive me back for that much.
The dude that is fixing my car, Chris, at Autowerkstat called me yesterday and gave me the estimate. The estimate was over $2,400. This for a 1987 VW Golf that has over 170,000 miles on it. Now granted I did just drop it off and said find everything that is wrong with it and tell me how much it would cost to fix. So he asked me how much I would be willing to spend on the repairs and I said I don't want to spend more than $1000. He redid the estimate and called me back. Now it was $1,200 for less repairs. It was still a little over my budget for repairs on the car so he said he would take $1000 CASH MONEY for the repairs. I was like, coo.
So I will have to spend a grand to fix my bastard car and I will be broke for ever and ever and ever.
Damn, for a grand I could get a new rear end for the Vette. Oh well, it's ham and cheese sandwiches for the next 6 months.
