When All Else Fails....

Just buy a new car. Problem is now solved. I didn't want to buy a car. I'd rather wait until business picked up and we were again comfortable but one way or another the payments can and will be made. I just would rather have waited a couple more years.

The second place we took it to did manage to know there was an issue, narrowed it down to two things. They wanted to bypass the security and if it started with no problem they knew to fix their other idea. So, to be prepared they tore it down and waited.. and waited and waited more. It always started after that.

Finally they decided to have me take it home and when I backed out of the parking spot.. it wouldn't turn!! It was nothing they did and in fact, I'd asked Dodge to check the power steering. According to them it was fine. If nothing else don't you think they might notice that a bolt is loose IF they actually checked the power steering pump???

Anyway, it runs but I'm unsettled about the car. My husband wanted me to replace the one I had sometime soon and I was now beginning to spend money to keep it running so.. it got traded in for a Ford 500. Nice..car too.

I wanted the GT or even a Mustang but it just seems wrong.. really wrong to have a car like that and stick hand controls in it. Makes it lose it's "cool" appeal. Before I upset anyone, that is MY OWN opinion regarding a car that I, me, and myself own! But, I think, if I end up picking up my daughter's son very much once she goes back to work, then I'll be glad that I have four doors to get him in and out of the infant seat.

In the meantime, I have to wait until Wednesday to drive this car. That's when it goes in to have the hand controls installed. It'd be nice if I could feel my behind.. the seats warm up! Talk about nice!!

Laters..
