We have been without a car for two days this week because the tank is in the shop yet again! I will admit I fantasize about being a one car family. But the fantasies go deeper then that. I am definitely sending the wrong message to people about us by driving the tank. One car would be great, besides being good on our pocket book, it would be great for the environment. Win Win right?
First day without the tank almost had to take the M&M to the emergency room. Thankfully, we figured out what was wrong with her, and did not need to resort to those extremes. It is hard to drive 10 miles without a car. So that got me thinking, what if these emergencies happen again. Even with careful planning those kinds of things always come up. Today, we are again tankless, and I feel confined. I cannot even go two hours without the tank no matter how much I despise it. How ironic is that! I am sure now, me threatening to get rid of it will fall upon deaf ears if the tank ever finds out how much I actually do depend on it. Maybe I will have to threaten to spray paint it pink or something.
So for now the dreams of living with one car are shattered unless I convince TFOLT he really does want to walk to work. It is less then 4 miles. No problem!
