It's Been One of Those Days

It's only 1pm and my day is already craptastic! I hate days like this.

Basically the issue is my car. I love my car, I do, but I've had so many problems with it and it's only 3 years old.

In case some of you don't know Chevy Cobalts (which is what I have) have a defective power steering in the 2005-2007 models. It goes out without warning. It is currently being investigated, but no sign of a recall yet. So, since mine has this problem I get to pay for a new steering column, roughly 700 bucks, and hope they recall it so I can be reimbursed. It wouldn't be such an issue if I were in the States, but the fact I'm in Italy where Cobalts are not sold is difficult. Somehow I have to order the part I need from the States, but I haven't been successful with that so far.

Today I go to get my car inspected and I failed the inspection. Why? Because I have a crack in my windshield that is more than 6 inches long. I pointed out the fact to them that the crack was there last year and I still passed the inspection, but he said the regulations are different this year. Crap! He acted like I could just breeze down somewhere and get if fixed. Um..yeah maybe if I was Italian! I'm just so frustrated with the car right now.

On top of all that I woke up this morning and my left eye looked bloodshot. Evidently I'm having issues with my eye and my contacts again.

I'm ready for this day to be OVER!
