Dh has a car. I hate it, he loves it.
It eats money like no car I've ever seen before.
Over £200 tax
£70-80 to fill the petrol tank.
Repairs over the last year have cost in excess of £2k (probably much more). And that's with dh doing the repairs himself so no labour costs!!!
The damn thing would get £75 from webuyanycar.com. Even the insurance company value it at around £200.
Don't get me started on insurance of over £1k per year (dh is under 25 but has been driving for a few years and we have done everything to bring the premium down... we're almost under £1k... yaay! ).
But it's his baby. He has nursed the damn thing almost back to full health yet there are always new problems.
Thing is we can no longer afford this level of investment in a piece of scrap metal.
Yet every small car I mention gets poo-hooed. The engine is too small, it's a girls car, it's a and everyone knows they have this, that and the other wrong with them.
Do I have permission to murder either him or the car? Or possibly both?
How I wish I could drive! Then it would be my decision!
AIBU?
To feel actual physical hatred for a car?
