Rock and a Hard Place


I am supposed to go to MD Anderson Monday and Tuesday next week for scans, tests and consult with the Adult Sarcoma Dr. Benjamin. My next chemo is Thursday next week.
I took the Honda into my longtime mechanic Michael Yost to be sure it was ready for the highway.

Best Auto Service/Repair: Yost Automotive

Michael Yost and his crew of all-model experts may have moved from their old digs by I-35, but when they moved, they took something important with them: the amazing trust they have built up with their devoted fans. Ask anyone: They do just what's needed – no more, no less – to keep your four-wheeled baby purring. 5415 N. Lamar, 374-9678


They replaced the radiator and changed the oil. Then I drove an hour to Belton, TX and parked the car for mos of 5 days there. On the trip home the transmission started slipping. Michael says it's all the miles we put on that transmission (210k miles) and it needs a rebuild of $2150 and main seal.


I can't afford this or a replacement car now :<>
Cars! What can you do? The Honda has been cheap transport for years and now it wants some TLC.
