Car(gh)

After the horrific car expenses twice last year, this year's tax refund finally got my checking account back to normal levels! I was sitting at a nice, comfy spot for almost two months.

Almost. And now the check engine light is on 😭

aaaaargh. Car, NO.

I hope it's something trivial. Mine likes to turn its 'check engine' light on for blown tire pressure sensors, which have approximately the useful lifespan of a potato chip.

Oh, no!

Do you have the manual? It might be worth checking out the section of indicator lights. (I say this because the first time I had my 'engine' light come on in a new car, I panicked, only to look it up and find out it meant I needed to schedule an oil change soon. Yeesh.) Or is it more a case of, this light should definitely not be on because the service it indicates was done recently?

Best of luck no matter what it turns out to be; cars are contrary and finicky creatures to nurse to health!

Woohoo, well, that's a relief! So glad it was quick to fix and not too costly.
