Melinda Abodeu: Car problems

You'd think we could afford to fix the car, or buy a new car, but Bill insists on driving that old clunker to work everyday. Makes him feel like another one of the guys, he says. What a disgrace. You wouldn't catch me in that thing, fixed or not.

I'm gonna ask the mechanic to come by and fix that piece of junk this weekend when Bill's not using it. Or better yet, I'll surprise him with a new car! Early Christmas present? Good idea.
