Can't believe it's already been a month. School's started and it's starting to ramp up. It's been super hot in August, but the last few days it's been raining and it feels like Fall weather which I don't mind at all. Not sure if the heat is going to come back, but we'll see about that.
Currently, we're down to 1 car since I've been doing A LOT of maintenance and repairs on the van. It's probably warranted because, I can't remember how many miles we got it at, but it's currently at 125k and we didn't really do the 100k tune-up. So, after addressing the A/C issue, which seemed to be just a really low freon amount (it was at 8 oz out of a possible 26), we're currently just doing the timing belt, water pump, and serpentine belt. Oh, forgot about the spark plugs and power steering flush as well. I'm not really sure if they really flushed the power steering, but whatever. I also bought this VCM muzzle for the car because I guess it's a big issue with this van and lawsuits are currently ongoing. They even extended the warranty just for this misfire issue. Ryan addressed this a couple of years ago and it's funny that we're now experiencing it too. Hopefully, after this, we're good for a while. I hate dealing with the dealership and I wasn't sure how they were going to "fix" the misfire issue, but I've been trying out Meineke for all these repairs and although they seemed to be fine for the A/C issue, it's slowly becoming one of those instances where I've decided to give them more business because they were good the first time, but they're sort of meh now. Anyway, I probably won't be using them again for anything major...dunno yet though. I hate trying to find a good mechanic.
Researching Universal Hollywood right now. We might try that for spring break, but it's going to be so expensive.
