A Big Oops

My poor car has been making horrible, frightening noises. I asked my mechanic about it and he suggested that maybe it is time to buy a car from the current millennium. Because I just purchased my first home, and don't have a lot of cash lying around, I opted to take the car into the shop instead. They called me this afternoon in a state of chagrin. They did not admit to wrongdoing, blaming the problem on a defective part they had recently installed, but my car now runs perfectly and I was not charged a penny.
