Our New Lawn Ornament!

Last Thursday while pulling out of the drive I noticed my van acting odd. Mind you it has been doing some odd things over the summer but this was worse. The brakes where sticking as I backed out. So that night I had Jerry take it for a drive. We immediately took it to Clair's to hoist it up. Well we found nothing the first round but after running it on the jack and taking the tire off again we found that be are missing a bolt that holds the brakes to the car or to the wheel something with the caliber. (I'm a girl I don't get all this stuff). Well we pulled it on the front lawn so we don't have to back it up.This is what I get to look at til the part comes which was suppose to be today. But hasn't come yet. And the part for the Jeep hasn't arrived yet either. It has lots of problems. We borrowed my parents Yukon so we have one vehicle that has no problems. Jerry wanted to let the grass grow around it and get some cinder blocks. Won't the neighbors love us. I wouldn't let him. I asked him to drive it around the block while I mowed. YeahWe think the van may get traded in SOOOOn!!!

Ahhh, car repairs. Does it get any better than car repairs? I get to replace the brake pads on my minivan shortly. Annoying considering that they're just one year old! I guess I'll chalk it up to crazy city driving - URCH!
Good luck with the repairs. May your caliper be sturdy and true.
