My summer internship is about 1hr 15min from school (we get free housing), so a girl (fellow intern @ same school) and I decided to car pool. Great, we just cut half the amount of money required for gas.

Both of our cars are from 90/91. My transmission has been going for months (only paid 650 for the car) and I didn't think it would make it to the end of the summer... but she did. However, halfway through the summer, my car started acting up. I didn't think she'd make it to the middle of July. So when my carpooler's muffler fell off, I installed it at no cost assuming she'd have to drive the last couple of weeks (I said I'd chip in for gas, I told her how long I thought my car had left). She agreed, it was a fair exchange (roughly 90$ in labor/parts if she went to a mechanic). I also have done minor repairs, checked her spark plugs, and cleaned her throttle body when she would randomly stall out.

Now that we have one week, I'm 100% certain my car will make it. When telling her this, I brought up the muffler/throttle body repairs... "I really appreciated that!" and I responded with "I saved you over 100$"... "I praise you, no sarcasm!"

Pfffft. WTF. What do I do? I mean, I did the stuff assuming she'd help me back in return, but now the original plan isn't needed! Any suggestions? PLEASE! I spent about 6hours in total on her car.

 

Ya. I figure I can't ask for anything.... but I did give her 2 tickets($120) to an amusement park that she said she "owes" me for.. :o

I think my only issue is that I would have given someone something if they did that stuff for me. I guess we all have different expectations. Thanks guys.
