The Mountaineer

Well, we finally heard back from the dealership about Andrew's car. And guess what? There was absolutely nothing wrong with the windshield wipers. They checked them all day long and they work fine. Well, that is a little embarrasing. (I promise they weren't working before.) But, that didn't keep them from finding a long list of other things that were wrong. The major things they found were the two front ball joints. I believe Andrew can pinpoint the time that they broke while going over a speedbump (that was poorly marked, according to him). Ever since then, the car has been making a "thud" sound while driving. It sounds as if something is falling out of the car every few miles. Well, we tried to ignore the "thud" sound. But, apparently it could have killed us. Because, the next thing that would happen is that our front tires would fall off. Yep, just fall right off. And that wouldn't be good going 75 mph on the highway. So, even though this discovery kind of hurts the pockets. We are thankful that God made our windshield wipers stop working long enough for us to find this other problem. And on top of that, I don't have to go to work tomorrow. Yipee!!
