More car talk...

So the estimate for the truck was 1000!!!! Mike bought the parts online and him, Hippert and his cousin are going to attempt to change out the fuel tank, fuel lines, and oil pan.. . Hopefully they can do it.... If not I guess the truck will hit the graveyard but Mike thinks the three of them MIGHT be able to do it. We will keep you posted.
Morins was able to check out our jetta today instead of tomorrow. Thankfully the repairs are minor ( only 150) so we will get that fixed and hope all goes well at its inspection next month. Car crisis averted for the time being although I am sure we will be revisiting the whole thing in a year or 2 again as both of are cars are ticking time bombs....and at some point in the next 2 years or so we will probably have another munckin and 2 carseats in the jetta might not be doable AT all.... but we will avoid thinking about that until it happens.

$1,000!? Ridiculous. I hope Mike and everyone can fix the car! It's going to be like a team of surgeons performing surgery haha

You are lucky that your husband is willing to tackle that project....mine would not even consider it, of course in his defense, he knows he would probably mess up more than he could fix.
