Which one?
It looks as if the convertible *may* have blown valves. But the "mobile mechanic" was quite good at blowing me off this morning so I canceled him. The car did get me to work and ran fine, but our crew guys checked it and said the oil was GONE and there was also oil around the tailpipe. They put more oil in, but it doesn't look good for the diagnosis.
Now my boss feels guilty for selling me the Jeep and has offered to split the cost of a new transmission. The Jeep already has a new engine in it, so with the new transmission it should be a great vehicle again. If we go to the company's transmission place he'll give us a deal, meaning each of us would only have to pay $800.
So, fix the convertible which will probably break again with something else soon?
Or sink $800 into the Jeep for a $2,200 transmission, almost guaranteeing me a good working car at least until it's paid off?
We're paying the $800. And I am very very happy. I just hope the car gets me to work and back for a few days. I won't get to go to Aptos this weekend, but Scott said we'll go to dinner Friday and he'll stay over until his school starts Saturday morning.
