Car Troubles

I love my car, there is no doubt about it. If I had a choice between a nice new car and my tank, the tank would hands down be my decision. So, I get in to drive it and it starts ok but then starts to putter down the street at a striking 20 mph, not wanting to go any faster. AHH!!! I was freaking out! I couldn't believe that my car was broken, and who knew whether it could be fixed, literally.... So, I took it to the shop, believe me, it barely made it there. I was thinking, Oh, a day and it should be back to me, right?? Wrong!! They replaced the fuel filter, tried to replace the computer(but that wasn't the problem so they took it out) and they took it all apart trying to figure out why it was still not running....After TWO WEEKS!!! without a car, I called Brett, my sisters brother in law, and he gave me the name of a really good mechanic in the area. So, I called him, his name was Paul. I need to get my car away from the shop that couldn't figure out was wrong with it and to another guy whom everyone said if he couldn't figure it out, no one could. So, I went to go pick it up and low and behold it didn't start....lucky me!! I had to call a tow truck, sit there and wait for it to come, then Amber and I went out to Paul's (About five minutes out in the middle of nowhere), gave him all my information in hopes of soon having my car back, but my hopes were already dashed:( Paul seemed confident that he could fix it. He called me a few times and said he knew the problem, only to call me a dew hours later to tell me that wasn't really the problem.... A week later, he called and told me to come pick up my car, it was ready!! I was sooooo excited! He said that after trying to replace a few different things, he ended up replacing three of my fuel injectors. And guess what, it works!! It is amazing. I drove away from there so happy to actually have my car back!! In the last two months, my car has been equipped with a new muffler and tail pipe, alternator, cadalidic converter, fuel filter, and three fuel injectors. Surprisingly, the toll for all of that was not too bad, you gotta love the small town mechanics:) It is hard to be here without a car. I had to rely on Amber to drive me around everywhere, thanks to her new car:) She was so amazing and willing to give me rides to and from the elementary school, grocery store, and laundry matt. Three weeks without a car is completely killer! I can't believe people can get around here without one, and I definitely appreciate my car even more now than I did before. I think my roommates appreciate it a little more now too, since they were without rides for so long! I definitely appreciate my parents for giving me my car so that I could get around, I love it!! And that car has history. Pretty much every one of my older siblings drove it. And, on the upper plus side, it actually fits my stuff in it when going on a road trip, a feat that can rarely be accomplished:) Welcome back Tank!!!
