My rumbling mass of steel and fumes just died in a wheezing fit of white smoke.

Apparently I may have cracked the block in my Opel Blazer. Wonderful.

Yeah, it’ll be cheaper to fix here than in the States, but c’mon it sucks shellin out $1000 for a car you already own. And everyone said I should have bought a locally produced Toyota Kijang – hindsight is 20/20.

Taxis are my friend once again.
