Car Trouble

Ever since the deer vs. our van incident things just haven't been right with the van. So today we decided to take the van into the shop to have another problem looked at. We didn't think it was that big of a deal but we wanted to get it handled before the week really got started.

So I called the shop and set up an appointment to drop the van off. Little did I know that wasn't the last time I'd drop a vehicle off there today.

I switched all the car seats over to my little Mazda and loaded the family into the car. After driving back across town I noticed some smoke coming out from under the hood. I have realized that this is never a good thing. So we stopped the car and I opened up the hood to see that the coolant had leaded all over the engine and was causing this white smoke to shoot up into the air. This can't be good.

So I get back on the phone and call the shop I had just come from. I let them know what's going on with the car and tell them that I'll be right back to switch cars with them. I guess it's not the van's turn after all.

So now the van will have to wait. I haven't heard from them yet tonight, don't know what that means.

Usually big bucks.
