Time to Work on the Car Again
We had to retire the Old Blue Goose that my daughter drove. She was a good old car but just had too many expensive issues to fix. We donated her organs to the U-Pull-It junk yard and acquired a '96 Corsica with lesser issues. When we bought the car, we knew it would need some TLC. The front brakes were replaced and then there was a wheel issue. Can anyone see the problem? Anyone? Anyone?
After two hours of repair, the problem is once again under control with all five lug nuts tight and the tire is secure.
Unfortunately the very next night while on the way to Walmart for a poster board for her school project my daughter had this happen. It blew out the back window and crunched the fenders so much that the back doors couldn't be opened. Since this was an old junker, I expect the insurance will just total the car then it becomes what is the car worth. With 180K miles, I don't think it will be worth much. My daughter went to the ER and she only had bruises and they gave her pain pills. She's still stiff and sore with pains around the ribs.
Now the next thing is to fix the kitchen sink that started leaking. Nice. I better get to it so see ya next time I have a free moment to blog.

Sounds like you've had a pretty tough week. I'm right there with you--only mine involves a skunk in the house. Hope YOUR insurance company is a little more helpful than mine. THey won't cover the damage at all.
Glad your daughter is okay. Cars can be replaced, but a daughter, um, no.
Hope you have a better week ahead.
Ah, Dave. You tell it in such good humor. Hope you will get enough to get another car. Glad your daughter is okay. Hope things improve.
