Remember how we just paid a ton of $$ to fix our Grand Am? It's leaking anti-freeze & over heating again!!!
The Impala is gone.... The van cannot be driven much at all as it's kinda on it's last legs.

So....I'm stuck with my choice. Either a 97 blue dually diesel crew cab w/ a double row of toolboxes making it impossible to see(no A/C). Or else the 03 tan diesel dually crew cab with a flatbed & a double row of toolboxes.
Oh yeah, both have dad's business' name printed in nice BIG letters on both sides.


Did I mention....with either of the trucks, I get all kinds of old guy stopping me or following me around until I stop so they can talk to my dad???


You would think, with 2 cars & van I could avoid driving a truck at all costs....but no.....


And the car won't get looked at until tomorrow, which means it's possible it might not get fixed until next week....

That stinks...but remember,at least you're not without a vehicle and/or you will have your grand am back.


Have fun with the old men...I don't know what to tell you on that!!

that sucks.
(((hugs))) stupid cars.

our grand am has a new AC problem. the AC runs without turning the AC button on!
but not if you turn that button on. needless to say our gas mileage is toast.
the AC works, but you have to get the right combination of buttons and dials going. and after a big storm last friday we had a swimming pool in the driver's side.
i can't wait to trade it in.

Oh, I get to pay for gas on the diesel suckers!
Both tanks are empty, too.
It's almost $100 to fill the tank.... so I'm gonna fill what I need!

I don't even know what the price is. I know gas went down to $3.09. I have to drive to FMT to get diesel as I hate using the one in town, it only takes credit cards. And the tanks, I swear, hold 100,000 gallons of diesel!

$3.09?! Its $2.99 here for unleaded!! Drive to Albert Lea... the HyVee station there was only $2.94 for unleaded on Sunday! Diesel was like $2.79 or something like that

I will have to check, but this part of the interstate....its the most expensive gas.
I assume diesel's just as expensive along here as gas is.

I drove the truck w/o A/C. Had some old ugly guy whistle at me.
Some younger guy saw the truck while I was at the HS & said "Oh yeah, I know you're dad!" & proceeded to tell me about the work dad did for his dad & how great it was.


I had 1/8 of a tank of diesel & apparently that was just enough!
I didn't put any diesel in!

Now, today, it's not leaking anything!
We aren't gonna pay to fix it if it ain't broken.

I hate automobiles. There's always something wrong with them and they aren't trustworthy! That is why I ride horses.

I hate cars. Hate! When I get a vehicle, it will HAVE to be a truck. I just can't stand cars. I am totally a truck girl... Ford and Dodge, heck yes! *laughs* Hope your car gets fixed soon!
