howdy from Midland, TX. Pati and I drove from Houston yesterday, car was ok til just as we pulled into Fort Stockton last night. the oil light flickered just a wee bit so thot ok, we can add oil in the morning, too late to fiddle with it at that late hour. stayed the night there, then car started up this morning ok and we were heading to get gas and oil and then breakfast. about 2 blocks later the car falters, we pulled over and it died. called AAA, towed a blcok to garage. try starting the car, oops, guy says engine has froze and we need a new engine. only Saturn place is in Midland. so we called AAA again and got towed here to Midland, Tx, here they agreed it needs a new engine but not sure if that will be one or two days to get it, install it and test it. so here we sit, tired, hungry, just stuck. is there anyone on RCTQ in this area at all whos got a spare bit of floor we can crash on? got any rellies in the area who are kind and would like to show us some of that good old TEXAS hospitality? i'm sitting in the Saturn Dealership here fwiw, iach....phone
432-520-5866 or Pati's cell phone # if its got any battery left on it still is 480 381 1399. hope some kind person out there reads this and can help two poor exhausted quilters. i'm thinking calling the Dealership is best, just ask for Pati...they know her name, tell them the ladies waiting to get in the waiting area lounge room. :)) big old tired hugz from Midland, TX. jeanne- posted
