When you don't fix it each month for a while, there's this big hit...
I wish I had the means to buy a newer vehicle than my 1998 Exploder. Got the thing to the dealer for a look-see at that clunk that started on Friday, and it has something to do with an eyelet and a suspension spring. In that something broke off and the weight of the vehicle was keeping things in place.
Good thing - it can be fixed with parts from somewhere. The job is expected to take 4 or 5 hours.
Bad thing - they said these are usually done in pairs. And if they have to replace shocks or other parts that don't come off easily...
In short, this repair might run $1,600 to $1,700 but the main guy working on this will be looking for parts which he can get by tomorrow. Bolt sets for this repair aren't cheap. It's within the realm of possibility to do this repair as the frame is pretty much OK by their reasoning. It's a matter of what else will rust and break.
I can't trade in a broken vehicle, so I said go ahead, do the work, and hope he gets deals on the parts he needs. At least I have $55 in Owner Rewards... In the meantime, I got a Ford Escape as a loaner.
Social media doesn't work for me, otherwise I'd set up a Go Fund Me page and see if I can get donations to either offset the repair cost or whatever. I get SSDI and all I can do is toss this on a credit card which I pay more than the minimum each month and hope nothing else breaks. My computer services business hasn't yet gotten the impetus to do much on the cost of repairs like this.
In January i already had the ball joints worked on.. Sheesh. Not going to let this suck my money this close to going to WDW.

This is the other fallen shoe
Well, the other shoe has fallen, as the saying goes. I was waiting for
this, just didn't expect it so suddenly.
Not more than 2 days after seeing a medical doctor, Social Security sent me a Disability Update Report which I have to fill out and send back within 30 days and it's got my anxiety level maxed out and then some. I'm trying not to stress out over it but I am who I am, and my Asperger's doesn't help at all. I do have a counselor appointment this Tuesday and I'll need her help in filling out the answers. She's the one who told me that "One does not recover from having Autism."
And even though my business (aka "self employment") has been official since Jan 1 2015, I really don't have significant monthly income in spite of what my BVR people might have to say. That's one problem with this form. And my overall health has not gotten better since the time period specified on the form. In fact, it has gotten worse as I would not be able to perform any of the work I used to, even if I could get past an interview.
If I haven't gotten excited over an upcoming trip to WDW, this is the reason. I can't ever relax or get excited over future plans because this is what I worry about every week.
If for some reason they send me to another review for autism and / or my disability gets revoked, I have nothing.
