09.09.09 - what a morning...

What can I say but that I had a crazy morning. Me and my friend where on the way back from the airport and all of a sudden the automatic wouldn't shift anymore in any gear. It was really stupid. Also we were driving behind a little truck and the smell was disgusting. Only we found out later, it was us all along. ;) So yeah we slowed down because of a traffic light and after that it was even worse. So we turned right and stopped the car at the side of the road. :( We had to have the car towed and now it is sitting in our drive-way for now. I am just so glad Elizabeth was with me because I probably would have freaked out if I would have been all by myself. :O But when you have another person with you, everything is a bit easier.
So yeah that was quite an adventure this morning. Our boys felt the excitement as well. When we called my Mom, Josh told her that our green car was broken (as if we have multiple cars lol) and she thought at first we had an accident or something but it is just the stupid transmission. We had problems with it before and I guess it is this model that has issues with it. So whoever built those transmissions punch yourself in the face, because this sucks!!!!

Haha, you are so funny, although a broken down car is not funny at all. That is nice that Elizabeth was with you, so what are you going do with the car? That just stinks, although I am sure it will all work out!! And if not, hopefully the person who built the transmission will punch themself in the face! Have a great day!

Lass' mich raten, du hast einen Dodge caravan? Das gleiche ist mit unserem Dodge passiert und zwar dreimal (Zum GLueck bevor wir den Wagen von Lincoln's eltern geerbt haben). Man hat uns gesagt, dass das Problem in den neueren behoben ist, aber wir mit den alten muessen leiden. die Kupplung stirbt bald wieder, aber dann wird das Auto halt in die Tonne gekloppt! Ist eh nur noch 1K wert.

Nein wir haben einen Honda Odyssey und leider liegt das am Jahrgang oder so. Echt nervig sage ich dir. Na ja trotzdem versuchen wir es positiv zu sehen und es ist ein schoenes Auto auch wenn wir damit oefter mal Probleme haben. ;)
