This is what happens when your girls daily driver breaks down !

[Grumpy old man]

This past Monday morning I get the call Mrs Grumpy's truck has a problem and she's stuck at a gas station and the check engine light is on and the oil pressure gauge is bottomed out , Now, She's been driving an 02 rcsb dodge ram for the last 10 years and loved the truck but she drove the wheels off of it over 250.000 miles . I've been throwing parts at it for the last year keeping it going until we could find a GMC K2500 to replace it but the prices just weren't where we wanted them to be on a used truck . so the wait for a tow truck was going to be over an hour . And here is the bad part ... we are right across the street from Rusty Wallace Honda dealership and She sees a bunch of used minivans sitting there ... So off we go to just take a look at whats there . Well the thing about used mini vans is for the most part they've been carrying a bunch of rug rats and curtain climbers ,You know tricycle motors around ,They have door dings /scratches and old cheerios in the seats . So Without having any idea whats wrong with the old Dodge I in my infinite wisdom suggest we look for a nice clean car with all the bells and whistles for her . Here is where my wisdom starts to fail and she spots a Pearl white Civic EX-L that's super clean and really low miles Black leather interior and it's spotless clean and the salesman is heading our way with the keys ...Sure honey go ahead and take it for a ride ,We were still waiting on the tow truck anyway ...When they get back from the test drive she has one of those big grins on her face and I know it's about to cost me something ! By the time the "old truck" is loaded on the tow truck the salesman was already putting the tag on Her new " hot rod " It turns out the Dodge just had an oil pressure sensor go bad I fixed it for less than $20.00

You know I wonder if I can take back the robe and slippers I got her for Christmas ???
