I finallly am getting the darn transmission fixed on the Subaru. I have been dealing with the fact that it doesn’t go into drive too easily for nearly 4 years now. It was getting worse and on Tuesday while already in drive it pulled its shenigans. While I had no problem being stranded by my trannie in a parking lot, totally unacceptable to be stranded on the road at a stop light. I was able to shift my weight (knew obesity had its good points) forward and get it back in gear. I finally bit the bullet and took it in last night. I also knew it was time when I would see other people go right into drive with their cars and think wistfully, wow what a concept.<\/p>\n
To rebuild the trannie it was going to cost $4,500. Fortunately it doesn’t look I need to have that happen. With the $2,200 however, it looks like it will be basically rebuild so what a deal! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
They also found a lot of other things wrong with the car unrealated to the trannie, probably another $1500 worth of goodies. None of those seems critical being centered with oil seals and such. I am not losing oil, we will keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n
I had to drag RAW and Hollace out of bed an hour early to get me to work this morning. I had a client who was suppose to have a critical change for their time sensitive website first thing in the morning. RAW gets me to work and I quickly realized once in the building that I didn’t have my keys so I couldn’t get in the office. I emptied my purse in the hall looking for those keys and was surprised to see one lone spare key for the office in there. Totally bizarre and perfect.<\/p>\n
As for that time sensitive change? I am still waiting for it and it and lunch is almost over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
