Exppensive car

On Tues the Saturn started acting up. Security light started flashing and engine light came on Wipers were on intermittent but went all the time sometimes. So today it went to gm dealer at Decatur. vcm module was bad. Let me tell you those things are $$$$$$$$ Labor is not cheap either. It is mounted up under the dash behind the radio. It controls all the stuff inside the car. Like door locks wipers and what all. We got new remotes for the car. This afternoon I finished up the leaves. Only two loads this time. Glad that is done. It was a nice day to do it. Think it got up to 59 this afternoon. Rain coming in tomorrow afternoon late. Guess that is it for now.  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

  2. I so dread when something goes wrong on the truck because I know that my bank account is really going to take a hit. But not much choice in the matter. Have a peaceful day.

  3. It's not like the old days when cars were simpler to work on. The more "stuff" they have, the more difficult it is and the "stuff" isn't easy to get to.

  4. I think the car companies do that on purpose so you won't work on the car yourself and have to pay to have it done. More money for the dealers.

  5. It isn't the car companies that did it. It is the government that legislated clean air. It is the pollution equipment on the cars that make it so difficult.
