It looks like my Ford didn't break down after all.

That's a lot of money to sink into that particular car, yeah.

Is is really worth $500 to fix that issue? I mean, it's not as if the ignition lock helped you much anyway, right?

Why would you leave all your stuff in your car?

Why would you leave this in the car? That's the least safe place to keep those, specially if the car is not in your driveway

Because I'm lazy. Because I've lived in the same neighborhood for most of the last 25 years and it's always been safe.

Only for you, unfortunately.

Consider the possibility of buying a used car for $1000.

Just cuz your neighborhood is safe, it doesn't mean crooks can't wander in and snatch something. In fact, it makes it more likely, cuz folks are less on guard.

At least you got your car back, man. Teh Bunnygrrl and I ain't gettin'our bikes back. Cost me a grand to replace them and the stuff.

The ignition lock is stay busted because I'm not giving Ford $500 for something that simple. The other $500 I will spend though. I figure that should give me a few months to save up enough to put 20% down on a decent car.

I'm thinking about an Acura TSX or a Mazda RX-8?

Can't you find one in a parts store, junk years, or on eBay?
