No Go Car Go

Cody had a little incident with the car the week before we left for Provo with him which consequently left us with a car we could not drive until we got it fixed. He got stuck in the sand on the way to the reservoir and tried to pull the car out by the little hook in the trunk that keeps the trunk closed.  After 2 hours of trying to get it out with his friend Justin he had Justin bring him home and he told me what happened.  Don was out of town of course so we called Grandpa and Justin called his dad who is a highway patrol  Between the 4 of them they got the car out.  The trunk was damage so much that it would not close.  The car sat in the driveway for 6 weeks until we found a local guy to fix. He fixed it really cheaply considering the damage.  It cost us $1500 with him rebuilding the hook himself instead of buying a whole new back end.  You could not just buy the little hook you had to buy the whole piece and it would have cost $3200.  As a bonus the guy hooked us up with a buyer-who just happened to be the guy we bought it from and so we sold it the day it was fixed.  I am sad to see that car go but I can't fit in it myself and it will not be very easy to use when the baby comes.
