On Saturday Brent took Tinker (our old Honda) in to get the brakes checked. They said we needed new back brakes and a new tire. So we decided to get the new tire that day and make an appointment to get the brakes the following Saturday. When they took the tire off to put the new one on they noticed that the CV axle was broken. Apparently that's an important thing and you shouldn't be driving your car without a working one. Whoops. After all these repairs it was going to cost as much to fix the car as it was worth. So now tonight we're going new car shopping. I'm a little nervous because I'm kind of a sucker (just look at my Kirby vacuum).
Even though I can't wait to have a car that doesn't take 20 minutes to defrost, I have a special place in my heart for Tinker. She was a pretty hardcore car. I mean, she got STOLEN and then found! And she didn't even let the bad guys take the cd player! She's been the car I've driven since we got married. And before that I didn't have a car at BYU so I LOVED having her. I'll post a better picture later, but until then here is the back of her.
We'll miss you Tink! Now off to find a new one! :)
