Alison’s 91 Jetta died yesterday. It had been running rough for her, so I drove it to work yesterday so I could listen to it. It quit with a big plume of smoke over by Les Schwab. Pretty sad.
Well, I broke the news to Alison, and we wondered aloud what we were going to do next. I did ask God for help too! When I got home I typed “jetta motor” into the search box on craigslist… This is what appeared:
Whoa! One of the top items was this 92 Jetta (only 1/2 mile away here in southeast Dundee!) To jump ahead, I looked at it today, and were going to do it. ($200 is pretty cheap for getting a car with a blown motor back on the road!
If you see that my fingernails look dirty in the next couple of weeks, you’ll know why! And I’ll keep you posted. Its been over 20 years since I’ve attempted such a job!
You never know what a day will bring… but God is good!
Here’s a pic of the donor vehicle:
That is WAY cool! And what a fun way to share the story.
