my Jeep - 2HAPY
It seems that the life of my Jeep is over. She has taken us to Utah, Arizona and California. We have enjoyed snow, mud, rocks, mountains and lots of big wide deep water pools and puddles. Don't forget her "man weekends" with the guys. We have climbed the mountains and hills in Las Vegas, Baker and Moapa. She has driven her last mile until we buy a new/re-build a motor or replace her. So sad! I will have AAA road side service as long as I am on this earth!
She was towed on a lovely Tuesday morning 7/2/08. The first tow truck arived within 60 minutes....but was a t-bar not equiped to tow my 4WD jeep. He called for a flatbed. Tempature was 109 when the second tow truck finally got there 3 1/3 hours later. My friend Jen was great to come try and rescue me, and take the girls to work. Then Jen and Scott picked me up and took me to buy a starter for Eddie to install when he came home from work. He fixed it while I was making dinner, and got it done in time to eat! Woo hoo!
Then.......Friday 7/25/08 on my way home from work, she started to make loud noises, that only got worse as I tried to get off the busy I-15 in Las Vegas. I managed to get her off the road and into a truck stop gas station. I stopped and turned her off, then got out and saw I was in the red zone of the truck scales....No good. AAA was great to get me a truck within 30 minutes! It was 108 with 27% humidity when he arrived.
Unfortunatly, this time Eddie was unable to keep her going. We got 4 quarts of oil, 7 gallons of water, spark plugs and rotor. She was a no go. Threw a rod, and spitting oil out of the dip stick hole. So she is in a comma in front of the house. We will be carpooling and saving $$ for a few months to either replace the motor or replace my beloved Jeep. We will miss the good times and bad times. All our travels and craming teenagers in you to have fun. Good times 2HAPY, R.I.P. girl.
