And another thing!
Aug. 6th, 2004 01:00 pmAlso also... Azelin has fallen, and he can't get uuuup! ;_;
I went to the Ford dealership this morning and gave the mechanic the DREADED LINE: "My car's making a funny noise."
But it was - really! And I was vindicated. The good news is that when we took a drive the mechanic heard it too: A sort of grindy, wheezy sound like driving on rough concrete. The bad news is that his reaction was something along the lines of, "That's really horrible! I wouldn't drive this anywhere if I were you." In car-mechanic-ese, Azelin has lost a bearing in his rear differential. I gather that does nasty things to the axle.
So he is in the car-hospital, probably until tomorrow, and I will be forking over something on the order of $1300 in medical bills. Suuuuck! Maybe I can get my parents to help pay for it as a graduation gift. :P
