After being in the shop for 3 1/2 weeks, I finally got my car back today. What I thought was a faulty thermostat and some misfiring spark plugs ended up being a cracked block and head in my engine. To be honest, I’m not really sure what that means. What I do understand is what I needed to fix it: a new freakin’ engine.
Suffice it to say that what I just spent on my car, could have bought me a very nice MacBook.
But alas, I am happy to finally have a vehicle of my own again. Gone are the days of walking in the rain to go get lunch, waiting for rides to and from work, and being held hostage in my house while the wife is gone because she has the only working vehicle.
As a bonus, it’s snowing outside right now. While the storm has been downgraded and we are only slated to receive 1-3 inches, it’s still nice to see the ground covered in white a week before Christmas. Of course, the rain tomorrow will wash it all away, but I am enjoying it right now.
