The blogger server was down when I wanted to talk about this, so thats why it's so late...it had nothing to do with my laziness.
For Valentines, I got a wonderful surprise. On the way to work, steam started coming thru the vents and the temperature light was flashing. Just Great. So I make it into our work parking lot, Justin and some much more mechanically inclined guys from work look it over. Basically, something that holds or carries antifreeze broke and thats what cause the steam. At the end of the day, Justin picked up some coolant and we filled the car up and on the way to our mechanic, of course it emptied out and my car started steaming again. Very, very stressful. I dropped it off right before they closed, so Wednesday morning they called and said they found the problem but it's going to take 3 days to get the part in and the total cost will be $400.
Well hopefully the part will come in tomorrow, then I can maybe get it on Sunday. Wouldn't that be nice. I am unfortunately thinking it won't be finished on Sunday, but I can always hope. So now we're down to Justin's car which is fine because he has a work truck he can use, but Justin's car needs to be fixed too. It's making this certain noise that when we describe it to people they know what it is tell us we need to get that fixed quick because if this part on the axel goes out. The car won't beable to turn. Great. So as soon as mine is fixed, Justin's will be going in. Ugh.

Thankfully the part came in super fast. I picked it back up on Friday. But since the coolant splashed all over the engine it still steams when i drive, fogging up the windshield. The mechanic says that should go away after about 40 miles. Thankfully, Justin's repair shouldn't be as expensive only about $200 i guess. So we'll probably be bringing it in this week.
