My Husband Had to Return a Car Part

CJ Bowker’s recent shoddy customer service experience at Verizon reminded me of one that Mr. A had last week.

There’s an auto parts place in Phoenix known for pinching pennies.  Mr. A likes to buy auto parts there sometimes because they are significantly cheaper than the other stores, Autozone and Checker Auto.

This time … click here to continue reading My Husband Had to Return a Car Part

True Confessions - We Bought AJ His First Car

I’ve really been debating this post because I don’t want to get slammed for being part of a decision that I had little control over.  Not to say I wasn’t fully in agreement, it’s just that of course I always wish extra money was thrown at credit card debt.  In spite of … click here to continue reading True Confessions – We Bought AJ His First Car

Once Upon a Time I Bought a Lemon of a Car

Mrs. Money’s recent post of how she bought a brand new car when she was 18 reminded me of the time I bought a real lemon of a car. I mentioned it once last year but I didn’t go into any details, and I thought you’d like to hear the story.

I Can Finally Roll Down My Window

Surprise from my hubby… back when he fixed the air conditioning on my vehicle… he bought another part that I’ve been doing without for more than a year.  His reasoning was we would have paid $110 for the blower assembly new, and since we saved $80, and since he was already at … click here to continue reading I Can Finally Roll Down My Window

My Hubby Fixed My Car A/C for $30!

I wrote about how Mr. A had hooked up a switch for my car’s air conditioning. It worked great for a couple of weeks but then the switch stopped working.

Still More Repairs Needed on My Pathfinder

You think you’ve replaced everything, only to find there’s more to replace.  I asked Mr. A if I should just cry uncle and take on a car payment. Sheesh!
