Just our luck ! the kid is sick and we had car problems. At first, we thought it was the engine but I guess not – and a trip to the local mechanic told us otherwise. Car cannot be fixed immediately as he need to order a shaft coupling – so we were quite handicap without our car for a few days – since the car acted up during the weekend – the same time the kid got sick.
Our car was bought just before the kid turned 1 years old and she is already 8 yrs old this year – so it’s getting old but we really have no huge complain about the car – it had served us well. We finished paying for it 3 years ago – and it is only regular maintenance that we spend money on the car. So this time – it’s the first really major problem we’ve had, so we ain’t going to complain that we need to wait for a shaft coupling for a few days. Thank God – our car is finally fixed today – because really we can’t go without our car. Time to think about getting a second car just in case.
