Jul. 15th, 2010 01:27 amSo, my car's transmission is going out. Plus 5-6 other smaller things (Serpentine belt about to pop, something loose that needs sanded down and screwed back down, a lose leaking cord, that sorta thing)
The guys who are pretty awesome, and going to fix it, said $850-$1100. They're going to spend the next few days checking junk yards for parts, then come get it Sunday and bring it back Midweek.
As we are leaving not this Tuesday, but the Tuesday after, I am a SMIDGE nervous about this, but...giving the extra time also saved us a few hundred.
AND my mom is leaving to go to California the same time were leaving. Which is generally not a problem buuuut our dog? Is neurotic.
Deserving so. He was really badly abused before we got him, and when he warms up to someone he is...amazingly sweet. But he also takes for ever to warm up to people, dog, etc...and doesn't like traveling. (And my Grandmother, who my mom is going to take care of, lives in assisted living where no pets are allowed)
And hates being left alone.
We're going to see if he can stay with my dad, and if not Kiona is going to come visit him, because he likes her.
Oy.
