The Car

What fun, owning a vehicle.

Yes I love my little red car, but it seems that it does not love me so much. Yesterday Sherry went to drive Liam to school, given his ongoing recovery from the pneumonia, when she called to say the car was dead. Dead it was. It didn't appear to be the battery but "multiple misfiring" particularly from the 4th cylinder. After getting the plugs and wires replaced, the fuel line filter replaced and an oil change I feel that my walet needs to be replaced... though I must say the car felt like a million dollars, it was smooth and handled better that it had for months. Oh ya did I mention the rattling from the windshield? Yes after getting a ding, the lower windshield cracked about 2' across quite low to the dash... it's rattling now.

$360 later... and we found ourselves waking up to a call from Andrew, who had spent the night at the United Church Youth Group all night movie night, asking for a lift home for himself and all his friends.

/sigh

So what happens, yes the car wouldn't start... like nothing, like not a sound, like not even like a click, like nothing.

Well needless to say I don't "like" my car very much today. Ben, our local mechanic was gracious to come over on a Saturday morning and see what was going on. What fun.
