Happy mother’s day to all the mothers out there

I hope you all have a wonderful day

As for me-- my mom needs a new car. It failed the legally required annual car inspection and it would cost $2400 to fix, but the car is from 2007, so she’s just going to get a new one. No sense in spending $2400 on a car that is probably only worth $500 at a trade-in.

But this means my parents are down one car. So, I have to drive my dad to work everyday until they get a second car. They’re trying to get a new car this week.

Btw, for those who don’t have car inspections... The state requires us to get the car inspected every year. If it fails inspection (safety inspection, emissions inspection, etc), you legally can’t drive it. And it’s obvious if you don’t get your car inspected because there is a giant red sticker on your windshield that says when your inspection was last done. The sticker is about the size of a cell phone and has an expiration date in huge numbers. Also, there is an expiration date on your license plate.
