Collin found these babies on Craigslist for $20!! So in a mad dash from work to the ATM (because I just don't ever carry cash), with a few wrong turns to the freeway in rush hour, through a never before visited neighborhood (thank goodness GPS was invented) I got to the car ramps and procurred them before we met up with friends for dinner while Collin took Itsy (Assistant Pug previously mentioned in an earlier post) on a walk and made sure she had dinner and went to the bathroom.
Whew!
Putting the ramps to good use, Collin changes his oil in the Oldsmobile. For which I am grateful. I get the pleasure of driving this car this weekend instead of his Accord, since the Accord is also due for an oil change at the dealership (it's more complicated??) and Collin will be driving it there. Yes, I work this Saturday and Collin works both nights. We may never see each other while I try to save more money to get the Hondamatic running.
At the moment we are waiting for an engine lift that a friend owns to become available to us. Then we can get the rest of the block out to take it to the shop to have rebuilt. Then we'll put it back in whent he shop is done.
I cannot wait to have my car running again. I miss it. And did I mention that my mom got me some car mats at the Grocery Outlet to protect my red shag carpet?
This oil pan is going to be so full when we're done with it.
