Crazy Car Tuesday
glingdidit August 22nd, 2007
So we took our car in yesterday to get the brake pads routinely replaced…as you should do every once in awhile. As they were checking out the brakes…the tech noticed that our left wheel baring (if that’s how you spell it) was completely shot…which is bad news. So our good friend Melissa, who works at the shop, called me to let me know the damage….close to $600 because of the new discovery. (Take one moment for heart attack…and saying goodbye to new paint for the basement for awhile.) So we suck it up and realize that it needs to be done. 15 minutes later Melissa calls back with some good news and bad news. Bad news…the part costs more than they thought…could be over $600 now…blech. Good news…that crazy extended warranty we bought a few years ago will cover ALL of the costs!!! (Take a moment for one more heart attack…and then silly dancing around my office.) Seroiusly though…what a blessing. We celebrated with yummy food from Sonic…and then curled up for the rest of the night because of eating too many tater tots from Sonic. It was worth it. Anyway…new student orientation is almost here…bring it on!
