The car has to have a new motor. For the price, and it's pricey, it's still cheaper to do this than try to buy a new used car in Vegas. The cost of things here is so much due to the fact that we're kind of a desert island. Everything has to be shipped in, the only Vegas can produce is "pleasure". Cars, car parts, food, entertainment, housing, it's all so costly unless you're making a really good income. And we've always shrugged to some degree, hence the reason for us trying to move out of this town. Especially before the economy implodes any further. It wouldn't be so scary if we could at least grow something, but it's next to impossible.
We're still hoping to take this amazing road trip, but for right now it all depends on when this car gets fixed. The "best" we've been told today is that the engine will arrive on Monday, so it might be fixed by Wednesday. My husband and I really don't like to sit around and do nothing, so this is really making us nuts. We can't even go to church now unless we rent a car.
Enough of my whining. Tomorrow is another day. We still have food and a roof over our head. And I still strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. It's all in God's time.
