Nobody Wants to Have to Visit the Mechanic!

Car shaking is a definite sign that your wallet is going to get hit hard. Jorge and I experienced this when we placed our car key in the ignition and immediately felt like we were on the Indiana Jone's ride at Disneyland. I quickly called my dad and asked him what we should do. My dad nonchalantly said that we probably just need an air filter change so drive home and go to the mechanic the following day. Well, that little drive home just cost us 860 big ones.

Apparently, whenever your car shakes, do not drive it! Otherwise, you may break your catalystic converter. What the heck is a catalystic converter? I don't really know still. What I do know is that you need it to work so that your car can pass a smog test. And with our luck, we have to get our car smog tested this week (in order to register our car in California before my Arizona plates expire). (Sad face)

After all this is said and done, I do not want to see the mechanic or DMV for a really long time.

Being Latina is complicated when your broke as it is and your car is sickly. 

I just want my car to be happy again.
