January diary of my car, up through this morning

1/3 Happy New Year! Revenge on Jill for leaving me in Chicago while she went on vacation: Start acting sludgy.
1/9 On the way into work the first day of a planned long week, turn on engine light, start smoking. Go to random car fix-up place chosen solely for its location and being open after 6.
1/10 Get new radiator, but stay abandoned overnight while Jill finds other ways to get to bank to get cash to free me.
1/11 Get picked up from auto clinic, triumphant return home.
1/12 Hit and run by asshole on Lake Shore drive. Nothing major, but a nice ugly dent by the front right wheel and scratches on the left from bouncing off the guard rail. Jill starts looking into places for body work estimates, but can't actually get anywhere until Tuesday at the earliest. Very annoying.
1/16 Trip to visit Jill's parents in the burbs. Refuse to start again when it's time to go home (10 pm-ish). Give auto club guy silent treatment. Haha, fuck you.
1/17 Auto club returns with tow truck, get dragged to Larry (fabulous guy Rosenberg family has trusted with all its cars for years). Keep doing the "fuck you" dance as long as possible.
