Out with the old



Out with the old



We bought our van (Morrison) back in 2002. Its been a good car and has never let us down. That is until the last couple of years. On the way back from Mazatlan it developed a wicked shimmy coming from the right side. $600 later all was well. Flash forward to last October when we are loading up to head back to Mazatlan. Strange clicking sound from the left side. Only $350 and its healed. This summer the engine began taking a nap when I was driving. Yep, a nap. As soon as you tried to restart it would fire right up but 5 minutes later it would shut down again. That was enough.


We tend to drive our cars almost to death so there is never any trade-in value. Father Joe’s is a local charity who loves to take cars just like ours. Call them in the morning and its gone by the afternoon.


Bye-bye Morrison.
