My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
I can tell you from firsthand experience that power steering is a good thing to have! Several years ago, while I was pregnant with Alyssa, Dan and I bought a used car for me — a 1986 Buick Century. Not long after we had it, the power steering gave out. Turning the wheel was NOT easy. Parking was okay, so long as I didn’t have to turn the wheel sudden or fast in order to make a sharp turn or tuck myself in at a sharp angle. So, needless to say that as soon as possible, we took the car in to have it looked at. $700 later, it had a new power steering rack and was good to go.

I sunk my entire paycheck into that car for you.
I’m pretty sure I gave part of my paycheck as well.
