In first person narrative, would it be acceptable to use a period in place of a question mark when the narrator is asking a rhetorical question? example: _My car broke down again. Why does this always seem to happen when I'm broke and between jobs(? or .)_ I feel, as the narrator, it is more of a statement and I am trying to display an emotion other than inquiry.
