I am hoping my Nissan Xterra will get picked up today. It's the older SUV I have been trying to sell for years.
We'll see if the towing company actually shows up. gives me my check, and leaves.
I sent them an email with the best times for me. The email was returned. I left them a phone message. I have not heard back.
A typical day for The Horse in the post-post-modern world.
Wish me luck.

Often it seems like we are always waiting on someone to do their job, doesn't it? A repair person, an appointment that gets delayed, mail that never arrives...it goes on and on. I hope you hear from them soon.

Good luck, pony. I hope your truck is gone now without too many more problems.

@TheHorse Very nice! I'm glad the tow truck showed up and took it away.

@DaddyEvil Me too. The last couple of weeks had been a tad frustrating.

Yay, I'm glad they showed up!
That was a nice gesture to donate the XTerra. Hopefully it will help someone to have a vehicle that needs one.

We had a Toyota Tundra that was a lot of trouble for us, but my Avalon has been a peach, and I'm still driving it 26 years later! I hope your albatross gets towed (there's a sentence I would never have expected to write).
