new car choices

The oil light comes on and it makes a ding noise. Only when we're stopping. It dings a lot of times to, and it is very annoying. That's what's happening to the van, it has enough oil in it, checked that, it just dings... it means somethings wrong but I don't know what.

The jeep has grinding brakes. That turned out to be a frozen caliper, locking up half of the brakes when breaking... ouch another repair bill that hurt.

So car problems have again topped my worries list. We've been "triming the fat" in what we spend money on but with car problems eating away we're just not saving anymore than we're spending. ugh.

There's not a lot I can do about it now though. We need the cars to get around and going in two different directions (school, work) it helps to have two. So we're thinking about trading one in to get a new one.

I think I should fix up the bycicle, then I just have to worry about brakes and flats.
