Car Trouble

I forgot to add this to my earlier post.

The intermittent heat problem in the car was diagnosed. It's the head gasket. Yup, that's right - the "Oh s**t " problem. Everyone has the same response, whether they are knowledgeable about cars or not. We have no choice but to have it fixed, so that's about $1000 out of our pockets. major ouch. We are making do with one vehicle between us this week and it's tough for DH. He detests being home without a vehicle to get around in. That will be a very hard thing to deal with when his vision gets bad enough that he can't drive at all. He's getting a test run this week. It's already been longer than they said it would be for the repair. Let's just hope that it won't cost more than they said.

ouch. One of my old cars needed a new head gasket. Not cheap, unfortunately.
And I agree with DH - being home without a car is PAINFUL...
