Oh my goodness. I finally found a car dealer to service my ‘94 Oldsmobile. I wanted to get the window fixed so it will actually go up and down. Well, it turns out that that job would end up costing 750 bucks. Awesome. That wasn’t the end of it, though. Of course, there was more wrong with it. The intake manifold was going (700 or 800 dollar job), so I’m going to have to be careful and watch my oil levels. Also, my brakes are shot. They need to replace the rear rotors and everything. They wanted to charge 800 bucks for that job. Now, having some experience with this stuff, I knew it was way too much, but I was considering biting the proverbial bullet — I’m glad I didn’t.

I called my father and asked him about the job. He said he can do the brakes/rotors for 240 bucks, no problem. As for the window, well, we’ll get to that later, but for now, the dealership mechanic is going to jam it in the up position for me. Watch: he’s gonna charge me like a hundred bucks for that. I guess I’ll find out tonight.

I think it’s time to start looking for a new car…
