I'm on car prob #2 in exactly as many weeks. The "check engine emissions" light came on last night. Some times, steady, some times flashing. I was able sneak it into the garage this morning thanks to a kind hearted worker there who called me back saying he'll somehow figure out to charge me for just a one day rental if everything is not covered under warranty. If this is under warranty--and we *think* it might be--then the loaner would be covered by the warranty, too. Being a holiday weekend, I have the loaner for an extra day now. Why do these things always come up on the weekends?! Friday nights--always--never fails. I *NEED* my car. It took a few minutes to get all my stuff moved out of my car and into the loaner. I hate to sleep in a loaner, but guess I have to. Just what I need--more stress. I just really hope this is a warranty repair and I don't have to pay anything. I just spent $300 last time a week and a half ago between the car repair and the motel stay. I really can't afford anything more. If I have to pay for this, I'm going to seriously go nuts! All I have to tentatively calm me now is the fact that I have a loaner and the hope of warranty.
