Out of nowhere

I already knew my vehicle was seeing it’s last winter. A replacement is already waiting in my parents driveway, for warmer weather. It needs some cosmetic and mechanical work to get safetied, and we have to wait for warmer and drier weather. Well, Thursday evening my van decided to let us know that it’s days were numbered. The back window shattered. Even driving hone from the in-laws house, little bits were falling into the trunk. Currently there is a garbage bag covering the gaping hole. My dad was going to tape some vapor barrier to replace the bag, but Mother Nature decided to start raining as we went outside to complete the task. He sent me home with an appropriately sized piece and the roll of gorilla tape so i can do it in drier weather. At this point, I am hoping no other issues arise, as I am not looking forward to the possibility of needing to walk the kids to school during the remainder of winter.

Life just keeps throwing us curve balls. Hope you get that sorted out quickly.

It may just help get the other van on the road sooner. That is if Mother Nature cooperates.

@Morleyhunt for sure! Long drives are not fun in rough weather. Hopefully your trip goes smoothly.

We are on pins and needles as well. Both our vehicles have 230,000 on them. I will drive them until they do not go anymore though

@Morethanamom That is excellent. A friend of mine just found out hers is DOA, it has 325,000 I am so proud of her for driving it so long.

I was lucky enough to have a replacement vehicle given to me before my current vehicle totally gave in. It just needs some work before it’s road worthy.
