This is in response to my frantic post of yesterday. {Click here to catch up first!}
I left the car parked where they set out a parade of ice sculptures for a winter festival we hadn't known about until it was over.
I left it there like a monument to my pain and suffering, thinking that my license plate was a tomb stone, marking it's final resting spot.
What makes a car run anyway? Is it gas? Willpower? Prayer?
Hours later, when Scott went to check it - to decide on a tow truck and a course of action - it ran perfectly. And I am the 10 km/hr idiot who spent an entire day in a panic.
Maybe I imagined the whole thing.
We took it to the mechanic just outside of town to make sure everything was okay. Because I Did Not Imagine The Whole Thing! I'm 99% sure!
We waited all day today to hear the verdict. And it came just before five o'clock.
It was a computer misfire.
$60.00
Can I get an Amen?
Can I get a High-Five-Some-Angels-Dance in the kitchen?
Because $60 sounds like hallelujah!
This is what I've learned:
- Cars are stupid.
- Miracles happen.
- When we bought our car I vowed to drive it until it was limping and ugly and we're only half way there now.
- If I had the vintage VW bug I am meant to have this would have never happened because it would be perfect and I would be perfect in it and the whole world would be perfect around it.
- Beggars can't be choosers.
So for now I am calm and I am grateful and I'm pretty sure somebody out there said some kind of prayer. Miracles don't happen on their own!

Amen!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you remember Auntie Ree's VW bug (which was red!), but I do! Kev inherited it when she bought a new one... wonder if it still runs? He'd be the guy to ask if it can be resurrected!
ReplyDeleteOh, and a total High-Five Angel's dance with an Amen, Hallelujah!
I remember hearing stories about that car but never saw it - at least that I remember. It would be amazing if it was still around and functional!
DeleteGod is awesome! and cars are stupid!
ReplyDeleteHa! You got it!!!
