Run Down Cars

Did that come out wrong?  Actually, I meant "The Rundown on the cars".  

not my cars...

Maddy has the Taurus at school, that was acting funky on her way here at Christmas break.  It had trouble starting and then the radio felt hot even tho it was off...  Not sure what that meant, but she made it.  We had it in to our "car" guy and he assured us nothing serious was wrong but did some work on it that we'd requested.  Plus fixed the headlight that she'd gotten a warning on.  Something about a melted plug where the bulb goes in...  That car is s'mokin' hot!!!

Meri's truck.  It's been too cold or we've been too busy on the days when the temp is within 10 degrees of the freezing point and half way decent outside.  So the dolled up red hood sits in my deck hallway until further notice...  She's definitely made the truck hers in other ways though.  If you eat in it, you have to take the cups/garbage/forks out, etc.  What a stickler!

My van.  Aside from just needing a garbage can pulled up to it, it's not bad.  However when you unlock it, suddenly the hazard lights kick on.  I think it's trying to tell us something...  But everything else is ok on it.  We'll get that checked out eventually.  Other cars need attention first and telling people to be cautious around my car is probably not a bad thing to be warning them of.

My other car.  (Well, Robb's now, but it's habit to call it mine...  )  A certain someone that I won't mention here, drove over a tire on the highway when it fell out of a truck in front of them.  It was unavoidable, however a shimmy started up soon after that and now it drives as if we've driving over rocks on a mountain covered in billy goats holding bowling balls.  Pretty descriptive, huh?  You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!  Hopefully (and I say that with my checkbook in hand) it's just needs an alignment and new tires.  I'm just hopeful that there isn't anything damaged underneath.

Robb drove it down to our "guy" and traded it in to get checked over, for his mom's car that was there for a few days due to ball bearing issues.  We're keeping him busy!  And probably the reason he's buying a yacht.

Maddy's old Saturn is in the next town loosing air out of a tire and waiting for Ryan and his gf to get it cleaned out so we can use it when we need it.  It probably needs work too, but I haven't seen it for a few months....  And what do I know?!

So there it is.  We have a billion cars and if we win the lottery, we can get them all fixed at the same time!!!  But I pretty much go with what Robb says, since I don't gamble... (well... with money.) "If God wants me to win the lottery, he'll put a winning ticket in my wallet."  Or something to that effect.
