2pm ~ Brian - "Look at your gauge, its almost on 'H'" Pull into a parking stall. Get out, and all of a sudden there is steam coming out from under the hood. And a hissing sound. Get on the phone and call for a tow truck. My Mom had to come and pick us up... Brian, Amy, Nat & Kaylee and myself. ... figured it all depended on the estimate what we were going to do..
3:30p ~Fast forward to .... "Aunt Kim, you were crying" from my 2yr old niece, Kaylee (bless her heart)....
4:45pm ~ Fast forward to being told the problem on the truck... something, something with the engine (lower head gasket).... something something.... going to be $700+.
5pm ~ Scott (DB) & I going to mechanic to find out exactly the problem. Off to the pay for the towing bill - $122.
5:10pm ~ at the bank, seeing if I can borrow some $$$, find out my credit score, which I found shocking! Its extremely good!!! Went back to the mechanic to pick up my truck, and drove it home.. it was loaded up with antifreeze.
6pm ~ call dealership where I got my truck 8 yrs ago. Find out they are open till 8pm. Off we go.....
Just before 8pm, I drove home with this........
Went back today and financed it thru the dealership. And drove it home the 130 mile trip!
Its a '04 Ford Explorer! Only 60 payments to make, and its mine..LOL
I had to find a picture on the net, since its was too dark to take a picture. Its exactly like the picture, but with different brand of tires. Just picture snow instead of grass. But I will get a proper picture up when I get the chance.

Congrats, Kim! I just went to pick up my car after doing $1200 worth of damage hitting a pot-hole. Gotta love WI winters, hey? Anyhow, I came home with the same car I dropped off. I didn't know there was the option of coming home with something different!! Looks very nice and 60 payments isn't soooo bad...better than 61!
Congratulations on the new car, the old one has certainly been giving you some trouble lately.
Nice looking car !
Nice wheels....you're going to enjoy the new car A LOT!!!
