Some of you may have wondered what happened to us, we never showed up at the potluck. After meeting we went home to get our food and table and chairs. We loaded up the car and off we went, stopped for gas and the car wouldn't start. The engine just made a horrible grinding noise. Oh no what is wrong now!Dad worked on my car on and off all last week to get it to pass the emission test. And it was working wonderfully, almost like a new car so what is going on? It passed the emission test fine, no codes, so what is wrong??
Well, after a phone call to AAA they came and towed us home. Thank
goodness for AAA. Dad doesn't have to rescue me this time.After we got home Dad and Mom brought us over the Saturn so we could go to gospel meeting. We were stuffed in there like sardines.
After meeting Dave and Dad took the car apart. The intake manifold had burned out. Thank goodness Dad had just replace the one on his car so he knew what was wrong.
So Dad gets to spend tomorrow fixing my car and looking for the parts that I lose while helping him. Thanks Dad, we could not get anywhere with out you!! You really keep us going.

What a bummer!! Good thing for Dad being retired and so handy. Good luck with the car. Sorry you missed the potluck but lucky for you that you made a main dish so you had something to eat for lunch. I love the photos too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Diane and all! (Having trouble with the word verification!)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your car. :(
Saw you at mtg. but didn't get to say "hi."
I've enjoyed blogging for over a year now, and I'm also on Facebook now, since the end of January!
Hey all!! Welcome to Bloggers-R-Us! We would love to have you come visit (once we have the kitchen and main bath up and running) and we of course would love to take a trip up to see you! Let's plan something! Sounds like it'll have to be after Spring Break once you're back from Disneyland, that will be fun!
