cars suck!!

so..my car was making this SUPER embarrasing noise while i was driving it..and i knew it had some problem so i was going to drive it home for him to fix it but i took it in yesterday to midas..who didnt help me at all..but did tell me i had some major problems-so after spending $$ for them to look at it, i took it to the good old chevy dealer-paid 50.00 for them to find the problems.-...well...the guy came out and told me my brakes and control arms (dont really know what those are, but they are important) were shot and that I really shouldnt be driving it..AHHH!! so..its in the shop the next 2 days and guess how much this little repair is costing me?? 500??-no...800? no..keep going...$1200- AHHHHHH...that is psycho...i wanted to throw up..what the heck-i have to get it fixed cause i cant even drive it anywhere to get a new car--you know? so...needless to say, im carless and quite ticked off today...i have had it with that cavalier..its been good..but it is SO time for it to hit the hay.....
