Car Maintenance

[MouseWife]

I need to google that type of vehicle, never heard of it.

Okay, so, today they call and say that the right side is losing compression?
Could be the head or valves? It might be covered??? I would think that even the deductable would be.

Seriously, what could I have done to cause this damage? We've followed all of the guidelines.

I just can't believe it. In my experience, once you've had problems with your head {don't go there, too easy } you always will.

Okay, comments,advice, please!!

But, I am going off to enjoy the loaner car. No kids, off of work, I'm outta here!

That's awful. What's the point of having a warranty if it doesn't cover things that actually go wrong? Oy. I hope you get it sorted out.

Thanks, alphabassettgrrl. We have the weekend to fret over it.

I think if they don't cover it, I am going to go back over our files. I know we've complained about a flat spot for some time. I think that may have some connection. They always say the 'computer' says all is fine.

Maybe we need a new 'computer'?

The only upside? We've been cruising around in a cool Mustang. Sure the gas is going to cost a lot but it's fun to drive something different.

Enjoy the Mustang! My friend rented one when she was visiting me one summer. She and her hubby got a convertible rental car, cuz it's the thing that they fit most comfortably in. Both of them are tall and regular cars just aren't comfy.

I still have it!! It is okay. I am glad I did not get one, though. It has a lot of power, it feels wonderful to drive but I only run around town so that really sucks. If I could take it out on an open road.....muahaahaa.....

My very tall friend had one and she hated it. But, it was mostly for her daughter. A convertible....that is what I'd love to rent and take up Hwy 1.

Anyways, they had to send the head out for service. I don't get it. I am tempted to take it to another mechanic when this is all said and done and make sure they did it right.

Bummer because I am supposed to pick up a friend, her tall son, and her baby w/carseat and I don't know how the heck we'll fit in that car. Oh well. Life could be worse, right?

Yeah, drive right up Hwy 1 and stop when you get to Camarillo. We'll have some fun.

[MouseWife]

Really? I'll make note of that and you just might be hearing from us whenever we get to do that drive!!

{which, I am bummed about because of the fires, I hope everyone is safe. It only makes me more determined to head up there to help their economy and spend some of my wee little cash there}

[alphabassettgrrl]

It'd be fun to have you come up! Santa Barbara has good shopping, Camarillo even has an outlet mall which can be entertaining, and then there are museums. SB is a fun place to spend an evening people-watching.

You know, those are areas I've always wanted to explore....so...to cross thread...you live close enough that you'll probably go to the LashPair Hearst Castle extraveganza?

I'm curious, how is your area with the current fires? I heard that large animals were being drawn out of the forrest areas, heading towards the beach. Have you heard of this?
