Need light.
And the miracle of a good used car, whatever. Engine locked up/oil pump failure beyond repair/or$$$$.....thought I had a few more months of use of what was mostly a reliable vehicle. Start a new job in a week and am stressed. Had to leave the un-startable car at the shop, and will have to have it junked(at least I can get a little money for it!)
Only an illusion, but a damned real one.

and luck. Mr. Pup likes CarMax for used cars. They are guaranteed.
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
For the best, most reliable used car or temporary transportation until the best car turns up!
