I can still hear you come home even after we raised the gate, it clanks enough :~)
Wondering if you want to go ahead and try the Goodyear shop in Tumwater that we just went to instead of going ALL the way up to Gig Harbor. I think they're OK, they did right by us anyway, I had a good feeling about them after our little job.... And if we don't feel confident they're giving you the real scoop, we can take it to GH for a second opinion.
I can still take you in there Thurs... and then we can just come back home... or you can borrow our Ranger if you want to even go to work. Can you drive a stick?
I just think we ought to try to build a relationship with a shop here - going to GH is a long trip if something's wrong.
I learned to drive on a stick, but it's been years...I'd be a little scared to drive on the interstate in a strange vehicle without knowing what I was doing. But hopefully they'd have time to at least check it over and change oil...if it's not too late to make an appointment for Thursday. I could always bring it back another day for the actual work, provided it's safe to keep driving it.
I'd be willing to give the local shop a shot. Save me a long drive. I'd still like to go up to the beach house at some point, but it looks like this week is going to be rainy anyhow.
Still waiting to hear from bothers about tomorrow...
