If your car "check oil" light came on and then died a mile later as you tried to cruise into a gas station, thus finding out that your car was completely, totally BONE DRY of oil with the oil filter falling off, would you...
a. take it back to the repair shop that just changed your oil the previous day?
b. get a tow truck?
c. kick the tire and scream?
d. bum a ride with passing church members? (thanks Thompson's)
e. leave obscene phone messages at the repair shop and show up on their front step at 8am Monday morning?
Well, personally we choose "all the above".
With our "cow in the mire" and 1/2 of our cars dead. We are really up a creek!! Especially since 5 seats + 6 people don't = a comfortable ride. Or even a legal one.
On the way home from this lovely Sunday experience I reminded the girls that if Daddy's car was still broken we weren't going to be taking our only vacay of the summer down to our cousins house in San Antonio. I think you could hear their sighs of unhappiness for miles. They were very upset. So I reminded them to say a prayer if it was that important. Sydney quickly offered a suggestion to ask a friend if we could borrow their car. =) I reminded her that cars are not so easily acquired and that they are too much of an expensive commodity to ask friends to loan.
But not 2 seconds into the house our phone rang with a dear friend offering us an extra car!!!!!
Apparently, the girls prayed REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard!
(thanks Weavers!)

I feel for you. We have a car grave yard in the back right now . . . hopefully it will clear out soon! Good luck with that, and be tough!!! Rip off businesses need to be stopped!
Good Luck to you! You are in our prayers that all will go well! Love, Mom & Dad
Awesome story! Great friends to offer a car like that!
So what have you done about the car thing? Where did you get the oil changed?
