I am home safe thanks to a friend, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about dealing with this. The car is dead as a doornail but I don’t know how to handle disposing of it. Never done it before. Any advice?
So tired and frustrated. This is going to mess me up so bad.
Yes, sorry for speaking so idiomatically. It means that something ‘gave up its ghost’ because it died and the ghost is no longer in the body.
It’s an old car and was in an accident recently. Just getting some panels replaced cost about 1/5 of the price of the car so mechanical work is probably a non-starter.
Thank you for explaining it to me.
