My Hawt Car

Welp, the A/C is going to be $2k to fix.
Did I mention I just about emptied my savings to pay off said car?
I have an open credit card, but it's set to pay off the balance each month through my checking account. I never actually use it as a balance-carrying card, only as a credit rating tool to show I can handle lines of revolving credit. The whole point of paying off the car was to avoid additional interest fees, so putting a balance on the card is going to negate that.
The good thing is that the credit card pays out from the checking account close to a month and half later than the transaction date. So I'll be getting a few more paychecks in the meantime, and that should cover the balance by then.
Yeah, this is going to be annoyingly close.
