Car trouble

So since Caleb has been gone the car has gone into the shop three times. Getting the car fixed has been Caleb's only job (I long ago stopped asking him to fix lightbulbs and such) and he wasn't here to do it. The first time was when I got a flat tire an hour from home on the freeway I knew how to change a tire (eventhough it had been a long time) and gave it a shot. I got the car jacked up which took like 20 minutes and was starting to put the tire on and the jack sank in the mud and the car fell over. That is when I was about to call for help, but someone had called the ODOT people and a guy came with a fancy jack and fixed the car. Then I took the car in for a tune up and it took three days and a lot of money. Then the AC just died again after the spark plugs have been replaced twice so there is something else wrong so the car is back in the shop. My inlaws have been great helping to get the car to and from the shop, but I just hate car trouble and it is Caleb's one job and he isn't here to do it (I'm sure he would if he was here). Oh well, just wanted to vent for a minute.

I impressed you know how to change a flat tire, I don't, I just call AAA. That stinks that you have been having so many problems with the car, that is never fun. Hopefully it is all fixed.
