May not be on here for awhile...

Allow a car breakdown! Poor you!

Aw, poor Suse. Don't leave us! We can finally return all the loveliness you've sent our way and try to cheer you up. (((hugs))) Susie. I hope you're feeling a lot better soon.x

With all due respect to fellow members, this place will not be the same.

Kaput cars are no fun. Especially if they're beloved kaput cars.

Susie, we're here for you, sweetie! What would AW be without our Susie Sunshine?!


...

Pheeewww! That was close. (((hugs))) Glad you're not leaving us on our own for a while. We need your sweetness!

Susie, don't scare me like that. I almost thought it was Halloween.

Wow...what a lucky break! Bet you felt a bit silly when all it took was turning the keys. XD
Just imagining the tow guy's disapproving face.

Guys, you're not going to believe this, but the tow truck guy came, put the keys in the ignition and the car started! We'll take it to the garage tomorrow. It prolly needs new breaks, but man that was scary. Tell me we're not haunted... In other words, I'm baaaaaaaaaack! LOL

Hurray!!! I'm so glad to hear it Susie! That's fantastic!xxx

Oh poor Susie!

Here, to make you feel better

What is it with everybody and cake....?

Susie is the cake lady.

And so much more

Ummm, from one person who has an elderly vehicle to another, it might be the starter. That's what was wrong with mine when it wouldn't start. Second, could be the battery. Both of those are fairly inexpensive . . . usually. Depending on the vechicle it may run you . . . between 100 and 400 dollars I think.

Not haunted? So close to Holloween?

Seriously--great news. Hope that it's nothing serious or expensive!

Susie, I'm so sorry to hear about your car. I hope it's not anything terrible or expensive. My daughter just got out of college and just was hired for a job in another town and her car engine blew before her first day. Totally wiped out any money I had stashed. I know how horrible you must feel. Sending you all the good blessings possible.

I've been there, too, thinking something is majorly wrong only to have a mechanic type whip the beast car into shape in seconds.
Glad your back!!

True. When I was in high school, I had this problem with my clunker. It rarely started for me, so I'd call my dad to come pick me up. He'd show up, pop in his spare key, and the car woud start just fine.

Apparently, the weight from my keys/keychain kept the car from starting properly, but just using the one key worked fine. It was very frustrating, though. I thought I was cursed. I even had to leave it at a gas station pump once, because it wouldn't start. Very embarassing...
