Truck woes...

Fuck.

The "Service Engine Soon" light came on in my truck (2001 GMC Sonoma) about two weeks ago. At first I thought it might have been due to the gas cap not being screwed down completely, which has happened before, causing that light to come on. I checked it the next time I got gas and it looked fine. Crap. After another couple of days the light was still on. Last night, after work, I noticed a puddle underneath the truck, oil. Fuck.

I took it into George Gee this morning for them to take a look at it. Turns out that there are hoses that are leaking oil - cost to replace and repair: $300. Then the Service Engine Light was due to a secondary air pump (I think, I didn't write it down because I was still stunned by the $300 figure) was out and not working at all - cost to replace: $400. Fuck.

So, now, just 10 weeks before the wedding, I have to fork out $700 + to fix this fucking truck. I don't really have a choice, and if it had been at any other time I would not be as pissed, but shit, man, I need every red cent I can get my hands on! So, again, I say fuck.
