I've mentioned it before, but I'm going to say it again. I love the fact that my husband and father-in-law know mechanics. It has saved us literally hundreds of dollars because they will do all our auto repair at the house (my father-in-law has all the necessary tools, you see). Before I married my husband, though I got into some very rough situations because I wasn't an auto repair guru.
When I moved away from home, I bought a car off a friend. She wasn't a very good friend; close enough that I felt bad haggling, but not bad enough to not haggle. I ended up getting her to take $200 off the price of the car. Not bad, but not good considering that the day after I bought it, the water pump went out and I had to spend that extra $200 on getting it fixed. Luckily, I was at home then and my parents have a great auto repair guy. His name is Mike. He fixed it for me. But if the water pump hadn't gone out when it did, it probably would have happened during the trip, and that would not have been good. I don't have any mechanics on the interstate.
Now I'm married. And my husband takes care of all the auto repairs. That is especially nice as I don't know enough to know what I am doing for real. I'll let him take the cars in to our Boise auto repair guys.
