Yeayyyyyyyyyyyyy

OK! Guys I am prematurely celebrating, I guess!! Nevermind! Let me enjoy my happiness eventhough it might be for a very short time!! Just got a call from my mechanic's wife, that my car is ready to be picked up:) And TOUCHWOOD (I am a little superstitious about stuff). Can you beat how much was the cost and what the problem was?? I have been working around the car for almost a year now. Futile attempts at getting to the root of the problem, unforetold expenses, frustrations and everything! I am not overemphasizing here. Believe me, its been a test of my patience to the core!! Anyhow, finally my faith in my car and my mechanic has paid off. There was something wrong with a "fuse" that kept tripping off and can you beat that the expense is 13$???? As compared to buying a car, 13$ is peanuts. I was anticipating an amount that was going to cause a big big hole in my pocket. With God's grace and that "Angel", I finally am happy! I hope that its just that. I still got to confirm and see it with my own eyes and wait before I start partying. Anyhow, I met this mechanic (Danny) at a crucial time last winter accidentally. He wound up my entire expense in 106$ when the total expense was around 450$. Since then, I have never ever gone to any other mechanic. They say, its a blessing to find a trustworthy mechanic and hairdresser. They might not know what actually works best but they know what would be the best! He and his wife Linda have been really really nice to me. The main motivation for me to go to him apart from the fact that he doesn't exploit is that his son has Cerebral Palsy. The kid is merely 6 years old and needless to say, the treatment is expensive. Well, if nothing I could help in some ways by getting few things done from him, if its of any use to him. Quite a few of my friends have had car problems and he has been of great help to them. I mean, how many times in lifetime, do you meet people such as these? Who have no selfish motive, who have problems of their own but help people anyways. On quite a few occassions he has not even charged me for labour and has given me home grown tomatoes and chillies. So well, like I always say, "Persistence pays". But you do need to have the faith too. Hope my car runs forever now:). We will have to wait until the next time when the temperature drops real low:O
