I broke down and closed out my vacation savings account. I have had only one vacation in the last five years- and this next one was gonna be a good one- I even got my passport!- but that was before I killed Bambi with my Volvo.
The car repairs are only a few pennies less than my savings...forty-six cents to be exact.
$.0.46.
Me at the Greyhound counter: " How far away from here can I get for 46 cents? One-way is fine."

Oh noes!! I'm sorry you had to trash that account, but a car is worth it as much as it sounds like you need it. Poor Bambi.
Maybe Trailways can get you to Omaha for $.46.
Oh no! I am so sorry Allan. Damn it. I can imagine how dejected you must feel about closing your account. Crap.
Y'know, if you can find just four more pennies, you'll have a half-dollar!
Sweet, or what?
Buy yourself a Tootsie Roll pop (or two, depending on tax) with that money. Or, whatever little candy you like. That's what I would do.
Dude...That just sucks.
Deer antlers are worth about 5 bucks a pound though..just sayin'.
that sucks .. I know how you feel, did the insurance last month, this month I thought I could get the air fixed .. choice .. drive around in a large black car without air or pay $1500 to get it fixed and not take a holiday with Wife. I'll bake thank you very much.
that sucks bites and blows...if you can afford bush or train fare..you can come to west for labor day weekend..my couch makes out into a bed..and we can go to westfest..it's more fun drunk..but I have done it sober and it's fun to watch them czech's get drunk...
oh NO dude! so how far can you get?
TG,
Omaha reminds me of the Cat Dancer Phreeks I used to meet at Sci-Fi Cons.
MC,
It's better than borrowing money from relatives...maybe next year. Sigh.
CD,
Or what.
YY,
I can only afford the stick. Next year I'll get one with candy attached.
AC,
What you do is remove your windshield and strap a giant block of ice to the hood- as you drive, the cool air will blow into your car and cool the interior down.
JS- Hey! I'm a Czech! Sounds like fun though, I like playing mumbledy-peg with drunken Czechs. For money.
Angel,
I can get to here from where I am now without even moving or spending a dime.
I'm amazing, am I not?
Sling,
No dough, I hit a female deer.
No dough? Remember...
Doe, a deer.
A female deer.
It's not funny if you have to explain it...
D'oh!
I coulda sworn I commented on this... fuck all
Oh as for how far you can go on less than half a buck... to the end of the block... yes, this one that you are currently on.
HALF A BUCK!!! Now how did I miss that? (Oh yeah, it was a female deer...)
Honest, I'll stop, now.
Oh, I hate that - I tought the deer story was bad enough, but that it completely depleted your cavation savings truly sucks.
