I drive a 1996 GMC Prizm. This week the malfunction was the passenger side door. After almost taking out a pedestrian with it at a gas station when it opened on its own, I freaked and went out and replaced it. With car payments I couldn’t afford and pledging a down payment from tax returns I haven’t filed yet. Luckily, my brother-in-law and sister found out about it, and he left work early the next day to go with me. He warned me that he might say things that upset me (I tend to cry at the drop of a hat), because as he put it, “I’m an asshole, but people don’t take advantage of me.” Because they did. I said I wasn’t comfortable with where the payments were, and that I didn’t want to trade in my gas-efficient car for a mini-van that doesn’t get as good of gas milege. In the end, I had traded in said car, and had higher payments than I could afford, and a van I didn’t even really want, and wasn’t sure how I ended up with it.

My brother-in-law went in there and within 15 minutes I had my car back, and everything was undone. I wish I had that talent. For now, I’m just very grateful that he does, and he’s willing to be helpful. And they loaned me my sister’s car until I can get my taxes back and buy a car wholesale so I won’t have payments.
