Damn Vehicles!!!

So yesterday we were on our way to Mike's moms house for a great day filled with lots of fun! Then the van started to act up on the way over there and we knew it was the transmission again. When we first bought the van 3 1/2 years ago we had some transmission work done to it at mikes work. A few months back it acted up to but then it just went away so we went on our way too! So we hung out at Mike's moms for a few hours then he took the van for a drive and said now its fine. So we headed home around 10:30 last night going good then all of a sudden it acted up again. So now we knew it had to be fixed. Mike drove it took work this morning and it drove fine but the check engine light was still on so as soon as he got to work his mechanic hooked it up to the scanner and sure enough transmisson. So mike called me at his morning break to let me know and i said it had to be fixed he gave me and estimate and I said good thing we didnt go buy tires like we were going to. Then I talked to mike on his lunch break and he said well the mechanic said now its going to cost a few hundred more then what they said the first time, Crap!! With the Holiday coming up who knows when it will be done. So mike will have a loner car tonight hopefully then we are renting one Wednesday to Friday or Saturday. We were suppossed to take the van to Detroit and we dont want to take the truck, way to much gas, so we will have a nice car to bring, the only bad thing is there are no Convertables left :( So that is how my lovely week has begun, hopefully it cant get any worse.
