Hello!

Thanks guys, I think I'm over it and back to my normal diet.
I will try to have a pizza later.

It's exciting after days of just water and soup.

Dang, good news/bad news...

Daughters van was making a "whine" I was afraid was the transmission. She know tells me that when the van is cold, the whine is louder and her steering wheel hard to move. Sooo, hopefully it's just the power steering pump.... That will be expensive, but cheaper than a tranny repair....

(if the tranny does go, it's going to the junk yard. Rusted out POS isn't worth fixing)

That's just sexism! It's fine when it's a hot lady but when it's a guy nobody wants bikini pics.

Didn't you fix her van several times already this year? I remember you mentioning it.

Pizza....your braver than I.....I had the stomach bug bad Thurs-Sat.... Ate meatloaf last night with minimal nausea... I think dinner will still be something easy, like baked Cod and a tater...

It is probably the worst automotive purchase I have ever made, it is a POS......My fault, if I had looked into these vans more before buying I would have avoided it...Next big breakdown I am buying something else.
But, judging by the dents, dings scratches and other body damage, it was a good first car...She hasn't ran into anything in 6 months, might be time to upgrade her car after the first of the year when I get my 2016 commission.

 

[SEIndSAM]

She has driven it for 2 1/2 years now, I prob got my $1500 use out of it...

 

[SEIndSAM]

Hope it stays together for 6-7 more weeks. I get my commission the end of Jan.

 

[SEIndSAM]

A couple of her friends had parents who bought them almost new cars...they have all been wrecked at least once...Nothing major, parking lot fender benders or slide offs into ditches..

 

[SEIndSAM]

But still, I think with a new driver, 1st car should be cheap, but safe...
