I hate not having my own car. The van had to go into the shop today. We have an oil leak, the horn is dying, the DVD player is not getting any power from the connection it makes in the docking station in the van and it's time for safety and emissions inspections (which should be the only thing I have to actually pay for).

Anyway, I get a loaner while they are figuring things out with my van, but I just HATE not having my vehicle. At least I have transportation, but it's not mine. Wah, wah wah! I know I'm a big baby. I hope they are able to get everything fixed today.

They gave me a Rondo for the loaner. It's like a mini Suv, I guess. It's small, but it's cute. I'm sure it probably gets really good gas mileage. It sure doesn't take up the space in the garage that the van does. I want my van back, though, in perfect condition.

I got a phone call from them around 4:00 pm today. They called to tell me that they had not even gotten to my van, yet. That really irritated me. I'm not sure what the point in my having a 9:00 am appointment was when they didn't even look at it the whole day. I really hope this does not turn into a week long thing without my van. I hope it's all fixed right, though too.
