Dunno yet - still waiting on the wheel alignment news!

And with that he called. Thinks my wandering is due to unevenly worn tires. When they rotated back to front, the wheels were in spec and the car stayed in lane.

Hold off on the funeral just yet

That's a good mechanic, just rotating your tires when he could have charged for unneeded work.

I think so! Good sign. He detailed that the rust hadn't gotten to the suspension yet, and said I should probably change out the two bad tires, and we even agreed on which tire place to use. (Creamery Tire. Sweet, Creamery Tire.)

Ok, cool. Well I'll let you know if we trade anything good just the same. Might be able to get a few $$ in trade for the cellar car. (thanks for not naming it, btw)

awright cool!

That makes me smile. Awesome.

YAY! :)

Go cellar.car, go!!

The Cellar Car electrical system has always been slowly dying but yesterday's failure is comical. We were driving in the hot afternoon yesterday when suddenly the AC fan quit.

Like a lotta car interior fans, this one works on a knob and has settings from 0 to 4 to vary how hard the wind is blowing. Well the fan only works on "4" now. If you set it from 1 to 3 there is no fan. Set it to 4, and the fan is on, at speed 4.

The knob still controls the AC condenser, because you can hear it turn on when you move it from 0 to 1.

Also I think one of my rear tires is dying. So now we have a race to see whether the Car dies before its appointed end of life in October, when it will fail inspection.

How many miles have you gotten out of it?

It is such a POS now that it's really just funny. The paint is in the worst condition you can imagine. J and her daughter removed snow from it 3 years ago with shovels, and of course they left big scratches in the paint on the hood and trunk hatch. Well those scratches expanded as a layer of paint chipped off. It looks terrible! But I just laugh!
