I was thisclose to having my wish of buying a new vehicle come true. Yesterday, I took Jacob to karate and I noticed that my oil light was flickering. Coincidentally, my car was due for an oil change today, so Brian asked them to take a look at the problem. It turns out that the oil sensing unit was leaking and all but 1 quart of oil had leaked from my engine. Had the remaining quart of oil drained out, it would’ve blown my engine. I keep telling Brian that if my car ever needs a new engine, I’m buying a new one. Well, it didn’t happen today and I suppose that’s fortunate, but we’ve been hit with yet another unexpected expense for my vehicle. I’m starting to rethink this idea we had to keep our vehicles 8-10 years. Maybe 7 years is when we should get rid of them. I could be thousands of dollars ahead right now had I done so.
