Our life with cars

As most of you know we never buy a new car and when we need a new one Mick just happens to find a good deal on something that he loves. Well, a good deal for who I wonder. Our last purchase was probably one of the worst except for today that is. Our car was making a funny noise under the hood, Mick the professional that he is said it was probably one of about 4 things. He's usually right on the diagnosis. Today was not a good day to have the car put into the shop. I am leaving out of town with Echo for the day we need a second car for Mick to get around town for YM ,work and school stuff . We were trying to find a rental around town but because he needs to be to work by 9:00 no real luck so he decided to call the shop to see if they had a loaner. He was told no but the shop manager said we could use his car for the day come pick it up and we will help you out. Wow, I was shocked that even happened but as we thought about it we were like yeah they should help us out with as much money as we have spent in the last year and a half (we could have purchased a brand new one by now). Think he could clean a few things out first, NO. I won't complain.
Here is the loaner.
