I figured I should update this page.
I am currently unemployed and attending College full-time online through the University of Phoenix.
With local gas prices hitting $4.29 a gallon today, I have started to debate parking my explorer since I average 200 miles out of my 19.8 gallon tank. At $4.29 a gallon it takes $84.942 to fill my explorer up. Figures up to around 42 cents per mile. My ex has my son in daycare 20 miles one way, so just to pick him up three times a week costs me $25.48.
If things get any worse for me, health wise. I will be forced to park it since I am ignoring my health, so to speak, and trying to stay away from hospitals. I have nothing major wrong with me health wise but have been sick almost every single day this year. Have already shelled out over $400 to my dentist and have had one ER visit which thank god, only ended up costing me $267 since that hospital was recently purchased by St. Vincent Hospital out of Indianapolis.
I do still have my 1994 Sunbird which I am still unable to find a motor for and I got a 1999 cavalier last year which so far has cost me around $1,000 and it still does not run. If I cannot find the 2.2L engine for the Sunbird by August of this year it is heading off for junk unless I part it out.
Well, to bad this could not be a happy update. Either way the explorer still runs pretty strong and now has 202,x.. miles on it.
