Other frustrations with the car

laura_seabrookForget to mention this, but last Tuesday I got a notice from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The letter was about the ammount of smoke my car blows. I was given until 8th November to have it fixed. Otherwise, if it gets reported after that date as being too smokey, I get a fine of $200. Great - just what I needed.
Mind you, there are two "benefits" of this. The first is, I can drive the car around with impunity 9as far as fines go) until that date, not worrying about her "farting ways". The second is, that I've been considering extending my mortagage to pay for some cladding on the house, a new (replacement) car and a few other things. It really would be easier (assuming I have the money) to get a replacement car, than to fix the Rauni. She also has a worn universal joint on the steering, and it really makes me nervous driving her for long periods.
I'm seeing my roolover fund manager on Wednesday. He's really good with financial advice, and I'll see what he thinks about the idea.
