Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

You all know the horrible past few weeks I've been having: car accident, totaled car, walking miles in heat to get groceries, groceries getting stolen, broke my tooth and need expensive root canal and crown, broke my blender and now have glass imbedded in my foot from where I stepped on a hidden shattered piece...having to get rides back and forth to work, not having a car to go car shopping, losing out on a great apartment after losing out on a condo I loved, locking myself out of my apartment for hours in the pouring rain and heat....the list goes on!

Well, I have no money. None. I make very little at my job. But I went ahead and bought a Toyota that was beyond my means because they are suppose to be so reliable. I didn't take the extended warranty because I have no money to pay for it.

Well, I get into the car today to get some much needed groceries and to go visit Grandma and mom and guess what. The d*** car won't start! I've had this car exactly 9 days and the car won't start! I cried! I can't take life anymore. What is with life anyhow? I can't seem to get any relief in my symptoms, I have a clueless doctor, I get no medical advise, and my luck is just rotten!

Now, I fear I have just sank half a years salary into a lemon! I thought Toyota didn't make lemons! And because I didn't take the extended warranty, I am responsible for towing costs to the dealer to get the car looked at! I fear the bill...may I reiterate, I have no money!

I am so afraid I have bought myself a lemon. I cannot afford repairs on a car that I already spent too much money on. I am freaking out with worry. I don't know if I should ask if it's too late to return the car, or if I am just stuck with this car now...or if I am blowing all this out of proportion and maybe it's just the battery? But why already? In only a week? Is this a bad omen of things to come?

What do you guys think I should do? Do you think I should ask if it's too late to get an extended warranty if I can? Should I try to return the car (doubt that's an option).

Have any of you had this happen to you before?

Oh, I think I am at the end of my rope here. Why does life beat people who are barely hanging on in the first place?

I thought this car fiasco was over, but I fear it is just the beginning of a rotten deal!

Thanks for anyone who's out there on this Happy 4th of July! Yeah, right!
