Life is a Highway...

and I probably shouldn't be driving a car on it!

As many of you know I am cursed when it comes to cars. Just this past year, I've had to my radiator hose fixed ( I figured this out when my hood began smoking as I was leaving my final exam in Dec), I had to get a new tire, and a new motor for my window so it would stay rolled up).
My latest episode occurred over the last month, but unbeknownst to me I just realized the graveness of it last night. It began when I got my oil changed about a month ago. About a week after I got it changed I went to Bham and noticed this greasy stuff all over my hood. I thought it bazaar, but kept on trudging as I thought, "I just got my oil changed...I must have just driven through some road work and some grime/oil must have splattered on it". A week or two after that I noticed my car kept pulling to the right and was shaking....not good..but since I usually am told that I overreact...I trudged on yet again and went to Bham this past weekend- drove all over Bham. Needless to say when I got home last night and Royal opened the hood of my car, my oil cap was not even screwed on!!!!!! So basically I had been driving for about a month with no oil cap on and oil was oozing out of the hood!!

As for the vibrating and pulling to the right...I just need a new front tire! So thank the Lord above I didn't mess up my frame/alignment!
