Car Problems in Threes...So We are Done...Right? Right?

Last Tuesday, when we were at the library, we came out to find that the battery on my car had died. This was a bit of inconvenience and the money we had to spend for a battery was money that had been earmarked for gasoline, but we can't complain too much. Afterall, the Interstate battery was warranteed for five years and had lasted seven! That's quality!

Then on Thursday, dh was driving across the street to the office. Normally he walks, but it was pouring rain and he didn't want his laptop to get wet. So he got almost to the top of the driveway when he realized that he had a flat tire. I say top of our driveway because our driveway is uphill from our house. So when the rain abated a bit, he tried jacking it up and changing the tire. He got the old tire off and then the car slipped off the jack. Fortunately he wasn't hurt, but we could no longer get a jack under it to put on the other tire. So we had to call a tow truck and the old tire had to be replaced.

Then today, he called while he was on his way to work to inform me he had hit a deer. Fortunately the car was still driveable and he wasn't hurt. When he reached his destination. he got out to see what damage had been done. The passenger side fender is crumpled a little and the headlight is busted and non-functional. Obviously, the headlight will have to be fixed in order for the car to be legally driven...grrrrrr!

So I repeat...these things come in threes, right? And we are done, right????? Right????
