Go Fund Me, update 2

Posted to Facebook just a couples minutes ago:


There hasn't been much to say, update-wise. We got a few small things done -- including an unexpected and necessary light bulb for the license plate -- but now something bigger (and badder) appears to be looming.

Matthew came home from running an errand and told me the "engine warning" light is on. This is different to the "service engine" light, and leaves us wondering how long before the car just seizes and stops running altogether.

We really desperately need this car, junker though it is. Please, if you can donate even $10, or boost the signal and share this around, it would be so incredibly appreciated. Please help us keep the car running. Please.

Can you take it to a garage and have them put a computer on it to see what the issue may be? Like VIP? That could give you a starting point.

The light has gone out, now, and suspect something with the wiring. (The 'low oil" light kept coming on, and we nearly killed the car because the kids added oil when it said was low; when in fact the oil was fine.)

But anyway, back to your question, yes, we can take it to be looked over and see what's what. But the Buick place requires $100 even if just to look, and I don't know anyone else down here, like a small garage, to give a good/bad/okay on the shop. :-/

Well, I'm glad it's gone out at least. That's so very unnerving.

And ugh. That sucks about the shops. A lot.
