I was busy this afternoon driving my car 250+ miles attempting to get the sensors to reset (after getting a new battery not long ago) and it failing emissions testing. We had our mechanic check it again this afternoon after the long drive and the sensors still haven't reset - it's the catalytic converters (my car apparently has 2?) he said one or both is/are bad and he can't tell until they get into it. Minimum repair if it's only the least-costly one would be around $2000 and the car is 19 years old. We paid $1700 for it 7 years ago, so no, we are not going to fix it. Not worth it. I'm looking into places like wheezly.com that will buy a junker and come pick it up for free, payment in hand. Wheezly offered $328 for it so I will likely go with that! We have 5 more days til the registration runs out. H's car is still in the shop getting another $2100 worth of work done, ugh. The good news in all of this is that I am not freaking out. I have been rationally looking at our options like I can do a loan from my 401K if I need to. I told H I honestly don't mind not having a car for a while, anyway. PLENTY of couples survive with one car and there are a lot of people who don't even have one car. I work at home, I don't go to therapy anymore, I don't need a car. I do need the house a/c to work, however, since I am in the house pretty much 24/7 and it's been 105-110 f outside lately! We will figure it out. We always do.
