Is it wrong to hate my car?
...Ok so my brakes are totally and completely, 100% FUCKED. Professional garages like Meineke won't even work on the car. I took the car there yesterday, on my way to work at 12. I asked them to call me if anything happens, good/bad/ok/fixable etc. I didn't hear from them AT ALL so when I took lunch at 3, I called. They told me that the car isn't street safe and wondered who put an inspection sticker on it in the first place

***I could pay numerous fines for this if I get caught by the wrong person***

They said in order to fix it, they need to replace all the brake lines, the whole brakes, and *then* fill it up with brake fluid. And they said "since your car's worth only a couple hundred bucks anyway, it wouldn't be worth it to dump all that money into it to fix it." I asked him if there's anything he can do to get me through the weekend or to the end of the month and whatnot. He said that he could top off the brake fluid but it's going to leak out every time I step on the brake. I asked how much is that going to cost. he said it wouldn't cost anything. Ok...
So I asked if he could do that and bring it up the road to Marden's where I work (where he dropped me off since I had to leave the car there). He said "Yeah, we can have someone bring it up for you."
That all happened at 3:00. By 5:45 (mind you, they close at 6..) they still hadn't shown up with my car...so I'm like wtf and called them again. Again they said they'd have someone bring it to me. An hour goes by and I still don't have my car. I'm like *FUCK* ...Katie from work agrees to give me a ride to Meineke to see if at least the car is there, possibly with the keys in it...
It's at least 8:15 by the time we get out of the store...and there's my car sitting at Meineke. Driver's window down, keys in the ignition. And a piece of paper on the seat. "Called Marden's Left Message We Will Not Drive."
YEAH. um...ok. THEY did NOT call ME. The only "Message" they gave me was that they'd top it off with brake fluid and bring it up to Marden's. They specifically said that someone would bring it up. Yes, I do understand that the car isn't safe for the road. What am I supposed to do, leave it there at the freaking garage??? No...I need to at least be able to park it at my house, yeah? Fuckers!!!

P.S. I hate my car...
