Good Morning. I'm up and drinking my first cup of coffee. I watched the weather radar for most of the night, so I am very surprised that it is not raining nor even wet outside. Perhaps it will rain later.
I got my Saturn back yesterday, the mechanic said that it was repaired, but I have to take it back to him today, or at least call him. It's not fixed and it drives much worse than when I took it to him $2,999 ago. Yes, it was a costly repair, and it's not fixed. This is the reason women should never take their cars in for repairs. Men wouldn't stand for such shabby work, but being a forgiving kind of person, I will just take it back, and tell him nicely that the car is worse and that the motor is racing like it is in neutral, the gears are slipping very badly, and that it hesitated so badly at a stop light that I thought I was going to have to call a wrecker to get me home.
UPDATE:
There it goes back for more repairs. The Saturn must love riding on the back of a tow truck. This time I hope it is fixed properly and correctly. My mechanic appeared to be an honest and reputable man, and he agreed to pay the tow bill this morning. I was wondering when I was going to get a break, and not having to pay the tow bill this time is my first break. Maybe the tide is turning and things are going to get better for me. I have to have faith that they will.
The mechanic from my last post never showed up to fix my Saturn, but Steve's brother Philip stopped by three days ago and my Saturn is running like a new car now. As soon as Philip opened up the hood and looked around he found the problem of the over-heating Saturn right away. It was 2 collapsed radiator hoses and he put new ones on for me. Now I have my Saturn back and it is running like a new top.
Since I was on here last, and having so many problems with my Saturn over-heating, I got myself a brand new 2015 Prius. That car is great on gas. It runs on electricity in slow city driving and on gas on the interstate highways. It does not need to be plugged in to an electric outlet for charging, because it charges up the battery while it is moving. This little car is always ready to go and easy on gas. So now I have two very good cars to drive, depending on my mood.
I've had my Saturn for almost a month now and I have barely driven it. It leaks right over the car's computer, so when it rains or snow is melting it won't start, the computer goes to sleep. This morning I am taking it back to the dealer again, and he said that he would have someone check out the leaks and fix them. I had an appointment last Monday but the person that was to check the car over couldn't get to it, so I've had the car sitting in my driveway covered by a tarp since then.
This is not a good month to be without a car and although Suzanne & Ray have offered me the use of one of their cars, I don't want to leave Suzanne without a car to drive. Besides, I don't mind staying at home because, it's where I feel closer to Jimmy.
