With such a large emphasis on home repairs, we neglected our growing fleet of vehicles. We’ve been sucked into a MasterCard ad, where daily life is added up ad nauseum.
Towing: $105. We got a call from a friend who has been storing Clint’s first car, a 1978 Buick Regal, in his driveway…for eight years. He needed the space, and a tow truck was called. We are now embracing the common practice of automotive lawn ornaments.

Mechanic: $230. My Volvo started to sputter a few days later on the way home from work trip. At a Bellevue shopping center, the engine died. More towing and mechanic work followed.
Parking Ticket: $35. The City of Renton left a lovely note on our Mustang parked in front of the house. Its tabs had expired. Although we don’t drive this car, it was recklessly parking without current tabs. Clint moved the car to the back lawn, off of the public street and onto the private grass.
Napa parts: $100. We decide to gift the Mustang to its original owner—Clint’s uncle. With a few new parts and a tabs renewal, the car was as good as new. Clint reluctantly gave the convertible away after some guy-car bonding.
Learning a fun new automotive game: priceless
