Hi there.....

So kind of you to stop by....I do enjoy the company.

Haven't felt like posting anything these last couple of days.  Actually I think I slept almost all day Tuesday and got nothing done.  Had to take the van BACK to the dealership yesterday and learned that now the catalytic converter needs to be replaced to the tune of $1,400 (according to them).  I did a little research and found one for under $200.00.  It may not be GM brand but it's new and apparently compatible.  I'm going to call the service department today and tell them about the web site.  How on this earth can a part cost so much?  Just because it's made by GM?  Don't think so!!!  Yeah, yeah, the GM one is guaranteed to last while they can't guarantee the non-GM brand.  I think I'll take my chances.  Since I'm supporting two families at this time I have to watch the pennies, nickels and dimes.  And one can't help but wonder why something new goes wrong not long after one's vehicle has been serviced.  I like the people in the service department, but not that much!
With that I'll say good day.

My friend, sorry to hear about you needing more repairs on your van!

Must be hard on you, having to support two families! I can certainly see how that must be hard on you. It's really a shame it has to be that way, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

Anything I can do to help, just let me know! Have a great day!

Thanks, Jim. We'll all make it somehow. Believe me, if it weren't for the grandkids.....
