Well, a couple weeks ago, we had a major rain storm that flooded our neighborhood streets. We were coming home from the movies, and when we tried to drive onto our street, the van stalled. Yes, we know it was a bad decision, but too late! Robby and the neighbors pushed the car into someone's driveway, while the kids and I swam home. Not really, but there was a good foot of water.
So, after everything dried out, the car still wouldn't start, or even turnover. Long story short, we were able to get an awesome deal on a new van through our neighbor's boss. It is a 2004 Dodge Grande Caravan with very few miles, great condition, and a DVD player...a huge plus for the kids!
Meanwhile, Robby was able to take the engine apart on the van, flush out the water and replace the spark plugs, and put everything back together. And, it works! He is amazing. So, now we can sell it instead of hauling it off to the junk yard. Either way, getting this new van is a huge blessing! We are enjoying it!
