One Car’s Loss is My Gain

Well, I’d never wish harm upon a fellow automobile, but if it happens, and I benefit, then I’ll be thankful. The transmission in Ariel’s dad’s car failed yesterday, so they decided to get me on the road immediately. Ariel and her Dad worked on me from 9 AM until midnight doing everything necessary to make me roadworthy. Highlights included replacing my oil pan because one of the previous owners had stripped the threads, repacking my front wheel bearings, lubing my suspension, installing a seat belt and the driver’s seat, and fixing my turn signal switch. Then Ariel’s dad took me for a drive to the gas station and filled up my tank with 93 octane – the good stuff.
