Believe me, it's worse when you live with a mechanic-type. We have EIGHT cars in our driveway and back yard:
1) the Big Con Van 2) Russ' around-town Escort wagon 3) my around-town Grand Caravan, which doubles as a smaller con vehicle (currently non-functional due to a blown head gasket which hasn't been fixed yet) 4) my old silver Stanza wagon (non-functional due to dead transmission) 5) a blue Stanza wagon (semi-functional; the intent is to make one working car from the better parts of these two) 6) an old white Escort wagon technically belonging to Russ' ex (needs work) 7) an old Taurus needing a transmission, which Russ keeps saying he's going to fix up and donate to the Kidney Fund, but he's been saying that for at least the 5 years since I moved here 8) a teal Escort wagon, also technically belonging to the ex, which is being held for Blair's eventual use; it needs minor repairs, but actually runs
Sometimes I feel as though I never left Tennessee. :)
