threw a rod to stars

Yes they’re usually old and paid for so the silver lining is no car note. Glad you enjoyed and blessings to you as well!

I don't think I would want that kind of music, Karen. I just had to get my car repaired as preventive maintenance mostly and it cost a bundle. My husband in his younger days could have replaced that engine or got it rebuilt and had it back on the road pretty fast. Thanks for sharing this one with us. I enjoyed reading it. Sara K

Thanks Sara! I’ve had a few hoopty cars in my day lol! Wow your hubby rocks. I had a dear uncle who was like your hubby a mechanical genius. As long as he was alive my cars weren’t needy. Thanks for reading and sharing!
