Bob was surprised to learn that whatever he did to the hood latch on the van seems to have fixed the problem. I no longer come out and find my hood partially popped. He thought he needed to take something off and do something...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86757) • United States 31 Oct 24

Although this might seem like a gripe, it really isn’t. It’s a fact of life and I’m happy about it. I spent most of Wednesday at the car dealer while they worked on my car for the scheduled 100,000 mile maintenance. (It’s not...

Midweek Blessing

Four Walls @FourWalls (86757) • United States 30 Nov 22

The month ended well for me. With all the money November takes from me (my property taxes and car insurance, plus I give my next-door neighbor something to thank him for basically being my handyman) I really didn’t want to see...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 14 Aug 21

My husband is a friendly guy, while I tend to be standoffish and maybe shy. I am glad, though. He knows who to talk to and how to get help. Sort story here: Hubby has been waiting on a part to get a certain car fixed. Well the...

Yesterday I had a big surprise. I took my car in for a oil change the day before and told them I heard a rubbing sound. I had been hearing this for a while though and said something the last time I was in there. So they changed my...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 17 Mar 19

I did not sleep well last night. Hubby had to go get parts for our Impala. Front suspension is all messed up. They sent wrong parts. Our mechanic actually came to get it. It involved wheel bearings and tie rods and sway bars,...

Where's my car??? And a vintage loudspeaker update.

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Jul 18

My car was supposed to be done yesterday afternoon. But they ordered the wrong part, so I'm still stuck at home. More or less. I did cycle to my Thai place last night for some Tom Kha Gai to go (I wore my day pack), and I stopped...

I am having my truck worked on today. A cam shaft sensor went out, so I had it replaced. I did cycle home from the fix-it place, which is only a mile or two away, and I will cycle over there now to pick it up. But my main...

The car is done

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 6 Jan 18

A little over a week ago our Impala suddenly overheated. Bob was going to replace the thermostat himself, but it was just too cold. Our mechanic, Sid, came and got it, as you can see in this picture. Mechanic work is his second...

I have an alcohol problem.

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Jun 17

As I think I mentioned yesterday, my truck is in the shop. This leads to several issues. One is that I can't get to work to turn in my progress notes from last week. Another is that I can't get to Trader Joe's to buy my beloved...

Dealerships are Thieves!

patgalca @patgalca (18481) • Orangeville, Ontario 8 Jul 16

We continue to have issues with vehicles in our house. No surprise with a 2002 van, 2011 Ford Ranger pick-up, and a 2006 Malibu. But the van is the oldest and is actually giving us less trouble. We took the Malibu to the...
