I had a Monday today.
My car started sluggishly and the check engine light came on. Took it in for a needed oil change and asked them to check it over. Needed a new battery and a new O2 sensor. To the tune of $400. I got the oil change and the battery for just over $100 and the guy said I can wait until after the New Year for the rest as it will not leave me stranded by the side of the road or anything.
I do have an amusing tale to tell about this though. When I told a co-worker that I had to go to the mechanic on my lunch hour she suggested that it was probably nothing, just sluggish from the cold temperature this morning. It was 52 degrees. I did manage to keep a straight face.
