Back in the Saddle, and it's a good feeling Options

[flipb]

Back in May, I posted a brief thread about my fuel leak. Had to have it towed - not even a flatbed, but fortunately my mechanic is only about 3.5 miles away.

Days went by, then weeks. I exchanged a couple of emails with my mechanic; he said they were ordering the right fuel lines and he'd get to it soon. I told him not to worry, knowing he had other cars in his shop whose owners depended on them for daily transportation.

After a few weeks, he stopped responding to my emails. He's a very good guy with a great reputation around here, so I was surprised. Turns out there were some issues at his shop - he lost his service writer and his assistant wrench. He also says that my emails were getting filtered and he wasn't seeing them, but eventually found them in another folder. (I believe him, he's honest and not very tech-savvy.) Also turns out that his service writer failed to order the parts before he left.

Meanwhile, it's gone from Springtime cool to Summertime hot. I've only owned my Teener since September and was really looking forward to some fair weather driving.

Finally, he let me know today that he had it ready for me. Went to pick it up and he was very apologetic and refused to let me pay him anything!

The car is driving as good as ever. Today was beautiful weather-wise (low 80's, low humidity). I got two drives and DANG it felt good.

Now that I have the car back... expect more posting from me. Both celebrating the fun and needing help with the befuddling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
