Life So, I won $700 tonight

**luv** · 01-09-2009, 11:40 PM

I really don't like playing bingo. I usually go with my mom for her birthday or Mother's Day, though, since she likes it. Well, my brother has a girlfriend who I hadn't met yet, and, since his girlfriend has never been before, they were going to go with my mom. Of course, I can't say no when my mom calls and asks me to go. I'm also curious about my brother's girlfriend (who's really cool, surprisingly). I won $500 on a blackout early in the evening. I was shocked. I NEVER win. Then, close to the end of the evening, I won $200! Twice in one night! I ended up giving my mom and my brother $100 each the second time I won, but walking out with $500 felt good! I'm driving home, and my check engine light comes on in my car. I have a feeling I know where that money's going to go.

You must have had some good karma coming back at ya.

I've never won at bingo... but then again I've only played 3 or 4 times.

Congratulations on your winnings!

Didn't you just fix something on that car? I thought Japanese cars were supposed to be reliable.

Yeah. Three weeks ago or so. Can starters or alternators trigger your check engine light? I hate taking my car to the dealer. They rape me every time.

Take the car to an AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts and they have a machine that will tell you exactly what triggered the check engine light.

And its free.

Good, because a diagnostic costs $90 at the dealership.

The charging system has its own warning light.

OMG Why would you go to a dealer? If its a warranty issue, great. Otherwise, never.

Hookers and blow?

All kidding aside, if your car's not acting up... it's probably just an emissions thing.

An O2 sensor, or something. Not the end of the world.

That's the "come to the dealership and spend some cash" light.
