Did we mention that we were having car troubles with the Rodeo? I have only ever seen radiators boil over in the movies, but I can now say I now what an overheated engine looks like. One morning, after coming back from my daily YMCA visit, we got all the way home before I noticed the rather awful smell, the hissing and the boiling noises. I pulled into the driveway, ran in the house & called Karl. Oh no problem he said, just lift the lid, and add more water if you want to go anywhere. Needless to say we stayed home for the rest of that day. Did we also mention it is on the Consumer Reports Used Cars to Avoid list? We only recently found that out though.
Today, we hope the car will come back from the rather inexpensive (hopefully very talented) mechanics. Karl sweetly took my car and left the red car with me. We almost bought a minivan but held back at the last minute for the more practical fix it first option!
