Cars suck, continued...

The sad tale just goes and on and on over here. We are still without a vehicle to call our own. After 9 days of testing, the dealership FINALLY figured what was wrong with my van. It was the wire harness, and you need to get on your knees and pray THIS INSTANT that yours never goes out.

Or at least that it goes bad whilst still under warranty, 'cause it is costing our warranty company just under $4000. Nice, huh?

Anyways, we are driving a loaner vehicle from the dealer at this moment. It is a 2011 Kia Sorento, and I LOVE IT!!! I don't really want my van back, in fact. Alas, the van should be done Tuesday, or so they tell me. Then I'll have to return the beautiful, black, leather-seated, satellite radio-ed joy of a ride. Sigh.

I must take pictures so I can remember it forever, 'cause I'll probably never buy one.

The white car is one step closer to getting a new radiator, which we hope will improve it's chances of survival for Hallie. I'm thinking we'll do a dance or chant or something to aid this process.

In the meantime Curtis is still driving the Mayflower (big big big van). It has been such a blessing to have that thing loaned to us.

Here's to a better week for the Gardner's cars.

Ugh! Good grief! Cars do suck! You have a kia too? We've had all sorts of little things go wrong but they were all covered. Our warranty runs out in 1000 miles though. I really hope that we don't have that problem you had after our warranty is dead (because 4000k to fix that would kill us). Ugh!
