knock on wood...

that this momma has no more car drama!

To say that we have had car trouble, well... is just a plain understatement! We have been living a true car nightmare! And now I just I hope, pray, plead that we are on the upside of all of this mess as we know it! *knocking on wood*

It all started with Dustin's car. It was running pretty badly and had other symptoms that lead up to the diagnosis: heater core repair. He has done it before, it takes a lot of time, but is worth it to save on the labor costs. So while his car was in many many parts in our garage...

This van decided to play the "I don't want to work" game too. On the way home from working out, I pulled into the driveway, put it in gear and that was all she wrote.
Our family vehicle, one and only car that we can all fit into, was broke. The diagnosis: transmission. The van is still being paid off and is in really good shape. But, until we could get the funds for this repair...

We had to borrow this beauty! It really was a life savor. We had no way to get the kids to their activities or anything. We ended up using this for over a month because even when our van was fixed, Dustin's car was not...

which has lead to this... Dustin's new car. Well, not new, but new to us! After the heater core was fixed, Dustin's car ran great for a day or two. Then started having another problem. We finally took it in to get it looked at and the diagnosis: something with censors and a lot of money which is more then what the car is worth. It just so happened that a friend of mine was selling a car. One that has well maintained and has very low mileage. We ended up getting the car at a steal of a price and that is what lead us to this car.

2002 Dodge (something that starts with an N). We are excited and scared to welcome this car into our family and pray and hope that this will be the end to all of the car drama!!!
