He called me just as I was
settling in to my Monday nights at home routine. He reached Poway, and just after he rounded
his last corner it began sounding like a buzz bomb. I reminded him that we have the fancy AA
towing package and drove over to the dealer to meet him. Now we know that a transmission for a Toyota Corolla
will be $4000.
We note that we are not
homeless, and now have a car and a truck. We
are reminded the quality of our problems has now improved.
Oh my word! I guess you could say it's all relative -- we paid almost that for Robert's two cataract surgeries. As you say, "the quality of our problems has now improved!" We are continually blessed in this life -- but the greatest gift of all is our friendship!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a whopper. and it doesn't sound like it's under warranty.
ReplyDeleteNope, the car is 12 years old now. The new rebuilt transmission will have a warrante.
DeleteWouldn't want to get along without AAA. What a good attitude you have.
ReplyDeleteYup....nothin' like them thar high class expensive problems.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who says, "If money can fix it, it's not a problem." Personal issues are not as easily fixed as a transmission.
ReplyDeleteI know. Problems have a totally different level and I am thankful that this is your problem today and not something else.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a very welcome repair bill -- hope all else goes smoothly.
