My car has been quite lovely to drive this week! A whole new experience. I drove to Tegus on Friday night with Amanda and came back Saturday - is good to get away and a chance to meet friends there etc - and the car was wonderful! However, Saturday night my car sounded like it was about to fall apart whenever it moved! It no longer goes into 4-wheel drive which is a semi-disaster around here! I think there is a problem with the 4w drive.
It has rained all day and all night all week. More like monsoon season not rainy season. There is a hurricane somewhere on the north coast that is not moving - or something like that - and so we have a tropical depression hanging over us. Now as the rains started so did next doors workmen leave a huge pile of dirt, mud and cement outside our house which means access to our house is an adventure in itself across the now very wet mud! They also chose this time to dig a trench along the outside of our house for a water system for the new house next door - perfect timing! It means they kindly dug up the cement drive (which crosses another trench) and filled it in with stones and planks of wood. Now in the mud and rain my car slides and slips all over the place on this now my 4w drive doesn't work - and so one of these days I'm expecting my car to fall into the trench whilst putting it in the drive at night! I need to speak to the owners tomorrow I think!
So tomorrow my poor car is going to go back to ' The devil' to be fixed again! It will work one of these days - but in the mean time I am rapidly running out of money!! The joys!
