Had to rent a car

I got side swiped yesterday while on my way to an opening of my friend’s new business. I was upset at first, but then the person who hit me, was so nice and also upset, that I realized she really didn’t mean to do it, of course. She told me she had a blind spot, which because of her old vehicle and the fact that the weather was really nasty, it’s understandable.

We exchanged information and bless her heart, she even offered to take me to where I was going and wait then take me home. She was an older woman and I could tell she really didn’t have the money for gas or to lose work, so I just drove…more like limped…my car to my car service business and the guy there took me to rent a car.

It was no big deal to me, because I experienced human kindness and actual caring from this woman. It’s rare these days. My service man told me my car will be ready in only two days. I can live with that. I wish there were more people like the woman who accidentally hit me, in this world.

Car fix its.

I used to love to work on my own cars and trucks. Even in my teen years, I tinkered with the old vehicles at the farm and tried to get them running. Learning by watching, listening and by a whole lot of trial and error. I still can work on cars and even my old 84 Bronco truck, as long as it’s not got all the computerized stuff in it. If so…I’m screwed.And I happen to have a truck that indeed has the computerized “everything” in it, as I needed a newer vehicle to drive that was super dependable.

It’s hard to find a good honest mechanic who won’t take advantage of a woman. I don’t care what anyone says. Surfing the net I found a great link and these great people there will even do sorts of trouble shooting for your common auto repair and maintenance,  if something is going wrong yet, you don’t know what to do about it, AND don’t want a repair person to tack on all sorts of other charges on things you don’t really need fixed, replaced or messed with. A great source of knowledge, and help. Especially for a woman.

Recently I had a bad experience with a auto repair shop that cost me a small fortune, which is why I decided to click around the net and see what I could find. I don’t mind this being a sponsored post at all, especially when I find a great deal of info and service. 🙂
