I am glad that we had a nice big blanket in the boot of the car to keep us warm otherwise I think we’d have really struggled as we were waiting for over 2 hours.

She has had nothing but problems with that car over the last few years, I have told her to treat herself to a new one that’s going to be more reliable but she says she loves it too much to replace it – I’ve never really understood why people become attached to cars, my dad was the same with his old one and literally drove it until the day it fell to pieces.

Well at least she knows the best Los Angeles auto repair place to take it to by now, it’s almost like her second home!

This really shouldn’t be happening this often when it is as new as it is, though at least it’s still under warranty so it isn’t costing us any thing.

Thankfully with all the issues we have had in the last few months with it we know of a great San Francisco auto repair place to take it to when something does go awry.

I wish we’d never sold our old honda accord now, at the time I thought it was a hunk of junk but looking back it really wasn’t all that bad and we could have saved our selves many dollars!

Well he went to pick it up 3 hours ago now! The dealership is a 2 minute walk away. He’s not answering his cell so I have no idea what’s happened or where he’s ended up.

Not that I am worried about him, there will have just have been a problem he’s engrossed in — but still, he could call to let me know what’s going on.

Men, hey?
