I Want to Throw Up

On the way to pick up my son from school this afternoon, my check engine light came on in my car. I was in need of an oil change and took it to the awesome garage downtown that helps us when our cars need repair. The last time my check engine light came on, the short block needed replacing (I'm not a gear head, but it's my understanding that the short block is a big expensive chunk of the engine-thingy.). I want to throw up.
