My car is a work horse. It takes me nearly everyday to work & school. It doesn't complain, whine, or moan. It just does its job, but recently the clutch has been slipping and my car is slowly but surely going to just not move.
Today proved most difficult as I trudged up the hill on US26 @ barely 40mph. Downhill is fine, but the car gets warm as you go uphill. So you say "just replace the clutch" well that is always more difficult then it sounds. No magic wand or fancy do-dad will reduce what must be done. There's methods to the madness, but they're all laborious and tedious as hell.
I thought this weekend I would put in my order for a nice 19" wide screen monitor for my new computer. Something big, something nice, something to write up all those papers that are due at the end of the month...but priorities are priorities. Chances are I might be working on my car over working on reports. I hope in the cosmos of things, this gives a small excuse for procrastinating... maybe not. But then again most reports can get spit out pretty quickly nowadays (after some serious wikipedia-ing... shhhh!).
The challenge now will be getting home and then doing some "Installing-a-new-clutch" research.
