On it's way out

It's looking like the good ole Audi may have seen her last of days. I can't make any guarantees at this point, but looking at it financially, it's not really worth fixing her at this point. I'm sure my father will think otherwise, but realistically it would be the best choice at this time. Basically I am rolling car-less for the next few days until the situation is fixed, but it can't be fast enough.

Oh yeah and the car place screwed me. I asked them to check it out, see what needed to be fixed, which blatently was the radiator due to excessive overheating [new radiator installed] but in the process they didn't seem to pick up on the fact that the water pump needed attention as well. The water pump and the radiator work together so I don't know how they missed it. Anyhow, I leave with new radiator, hoses and tune up to come to a stop and realize that excessive amounts of coolant are running away from my car. Fan-effing-tastic. I take it back and this is when they enlighten me that I need a new water pump, not to mention a new timing belt because said water pump is right on it. Fan-effing-tastic. They say it will be an additional 500 to the 500 I already paid. I just said eff it, left the car and told them to not touch it until I contacted them.

So now it's the deciding factor with the units whether to say goodbye to the dear ole Audi or invest more in her. Personally and financially I don't feel its worth it...but the dad may think otherwise.
