"...sometimes you're flung to the edge..."

Grr. Madness. Anger. Perturbedness. Basically, almost ("almost" being a very generous term) evrything is not going right. Let's just look at one not-so-controversial facet of my life (although "not controversial," please note that the following situation(s) is nonetheless annoying):
I shall start from the beginning of this mad epic:
  • Initial minor breaks/damage to vehicle: inside door handle, rotating window latch, interior light cover, driver's side parking light fixture, driver's side tail light cover. [none replaced]
  • Power steering problems arise, necessitating the replacement of power steering pump and high pressure hose. [~$150]
  • Necessary replacement of power steering belt tensioner pulley. [~$20]
  • Truck starts bleeding to death a little over 2 months ago (bad oil loss). [~$20]
  • Easy replacement of problem gasket... only to have the truck not starting. [~$13]
  • Use of parents truck for 2 months or so. [~$20-$60/week more on gas]
  • Recent discovery that my truck can start (with much patience and many tries). [~$4]
  • Flat tire on the way to/at Heather's replaced (not without complications) 3 days ago or so.
  • Tonight: drift asleep slighty and hit a curb damaging front passenger wheel and causing another unreplaceable [see above] flat. [estimated over $300]
  • Have to bum a ride to work tomorrow or try to get work off so I can replace the tires and wheel. [free]
  • This is not to mention the apparent breaking of some clips in the steering column of my parents truck during my use of the vehicle. [ $?]
  • [almost $700 total]
In short: vehicles+me="AHHHHH! We're all gonna die!!" (or at least you better not want the vehicle in one piece. One way or another that things falling apart, whether it be by accident, system failure, or aliens, something is going to break on it.) It's all just very annoyingly stressful... I hope beyond hope that they can cover my shift for tomorrow so I can get my truck fixed. It needs a name like Grimlin, or Legion, 'cause there's something about that thing that doesn't like me.

Thanks.
It might not be quite $300 to get all the wheel and the tires... maybe. The one tire was $70-ish. 2 more, $140 or so. Wheel, $25-$100.
We shall see.
