So first of all, here is the lovely situation on the Toyota. She was towed to a specialist today and is awaiting a new engine transplant sometime next week. Expensive, but less expensive than buying a whole new car.
In the meantime, we finally gave in and got a rental car. I tell ya I've never been so happy to go grocery shopping in my life! BTW, having to take the bus home from work during a monsoon..SUCKS! Of course the real clincher was that school starts on Monday, and it would be a nightmare trying to get both kids to school and back on the bus. The bus system just plain sucks here.
So yeah, we broke down and rented a "compact" car for the next couple of weeks. Just to get us around.
Since the rental company was out of compact cars, they graciously decided to upgrade us to an all white monstrous pimpmobile. It's the funniest car ever! We've got a moon roof, a GPS system, weird auto tinting mirrors, a lot of unknown buttons, and according to the garage "damn, that things got a hemi!"
So now that we are crackalactin' in our new gig, I think we need to give our family a makeover that suits our new ride? Fuzzy cowboy hats with feathers stickin' out, lots of polyester? Maybe a nice pleather trench coat for Don, and some sweet stir-up pants for me? Hmm... the possibilities are endless....
Also I need to mix a CD to play while I'm driving, I just HAVE TO! A good pimpmobile has to have some fly tunes, am I right?
