Bought a Truck
So we bought a new vehicle. Our old Saturn has been giving us quite a bit of trouble lately, and It has 160K or so on it, so it is difficult to justify investing too much into it. For the last month or so I have been trying to patch together the cooling system with Epoxy putty. That has not worked too well I suspect that what is happening is that when I patch it one place the presure is breaking out the next weakest point...
Finally after weeks of this silly chasing the leak, it began leaking coolant into the Serpentine belt. I am not sure where it is leaking from, but when I look I get sprayed with Coolant, so I give up...
Yesterday we visited the local cheap car lot and shelled out a couple thousand dollars on an 92 Chevy Astro van. It is a bit beat up in the front, but seems to run well, and is quite clean inside.
I was lobbing to name it "Big Ugly Truck" Or B.U.T. for short. But Andee said no. She said I could call it "Big Ugly Minivan". I guess we will be taking the kids camping in the B.U.M. this summer.
