Neon:(noun) meaning Death Trap or Money Pit
I bought this car brand new-4 miles on it. Joss and I decided that we needed to have a dependable car and this Neon came with a 70,000 mile warranty. How's that for piece of mind? Well, its turned out to be a different kind of piece. The temperature gauge went out at 10K. The past 6 months have been filled with the engine light coming on and then going off then on and then off... Then at the first of this month, while I had Brody on life support in the back seat, it blew up in Gunnison. I had to have it towed. After a couple weeks, I got it back. New thermostat, head gasket and a switch for the dome light. On Sunday, I had to get new tires as I noticed wires hanging out of my front ones. As I set out for Primary's last night I felt as though my car was finally ok--newly repaired, new tires. WRONG! I made it as far as Nephi when I quickly discovered my new tires are defective and were bubbling out the side. I was furious! My mom gave me a ride to Salt Lake. And Joss is going for my car this morning to return the tires to Wal-Mart. I think the car is a death trap and I want out!!

My heck, can you guys ever win? If its not one thing, then its another. Don't get discouraged Amie, pretty soon, things will get better. I guess sometimes you have to experience the worst before you can really appreciate the simple things. Its like your quote "If God brings you to it, he'll bring you through it" Don't worry you'll make it through this one too, just like all the other times. We love you guys and we hope for the best.
