Nuts and Bolts

It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Yes, this might be a common occurrence during the fall, one that shouldn't cause too much extra fluff. If anything, it makes for a good day to turn on the heater, snuggle on the couch, and watch movies with the chillin. (aka the kids)

But not today. Today there is extra fluff. See, while driving to my parents house for dinner yesterday the weather was fabulous. It was warm and sunny. So we rolled down the windows. Now, the window by Lilly's seat won't roll back up.

If the weather was going to stay nice I might think this was a good opportunity to get some fresh air. But since its going to rain and I don't want to drive a swimming pool on wheels, its a bit frustrating.

Then, because everyone likes frosting on their cake, my dad informs me he thinks I have a hole in my muffler. When we started the car he could hear a rattle and smell exhaust by the passenger door. Oh yay! Frosting!

And because there is always room for jello too... Let's not forget to mention the needed oil change, the squealing breaks, and the broken valve on the natural gas canister.

So here I sit, at the mechanic. This place has treated me well in the past but I'm always a bit nervous and leary of trusting someone who can mess with my cars.

The plan, is to at least get the window UP before it rains. Then save up some dough to come back and take care of the rest (one thing at a time).

After all this dessert talk, I think I need a treat.


**UPDATE**
The cables are completely broken so there is no way to get the window up and have it stay up. $120 for parts $130 for labor and now I'm broke.

**UPDATE #2**
I was quoted the wrong price. This window is more pricey I guess. Now the part is $200. So he cut the labor down for a total cost of $280. Just wanted to clarify.
