Because Firestone discovered that our car trouble was in the transmission, coupled with recent difficulties we had with the Versa’s exhaust system, we traded the Versa in tonight for a new Hyundai Touring Elantra. We based our choice on our previous STILL RUNNING Elantra, which is at 278K and going strong.
Our new car is a beautiful electric blue. Tomorrow i have to finish up the last adult stuff, transferring our insurance.
I’m rather proud that Bryon and I could go from Dead Car (TM) to new car in one night. Because that’s the way we roll.
As soon as I can, I’ll post the next cool writerly thing.

I loved my Hyundai Elantra, until the dealership installed the wrong timing belt and I blew up the engine. Then I fought with them for 4 months to get them to accept what they did and fix it. They had to replace the engine with a used one. It never did run as good after that.
Dealerships are a whole other story. I’m sorry that happened to your car.
