dH headed for work Sat. morning and then I got a call. His van had quit. He had it towed to the repair shop. So he could not work all weekend and on Monday he used my vette all day.
Well, the good news was, the van had just run out of gas. Apparently, the gas gauge is not working correctly. There was no charge except for the towing and our insurance will reimburse us for that.
So, I hope that we have no more problems with that vehicle. It was having a transmission problem, but now that has stopped. Dh doesn't really want a new van. He is even thinking about getting a used pick up truck as a back up. We just don't have another vehicle that makes a good work vehicle. He is a carpenter and has a million tools!
He ran out of gas!!

What year vette do you have? DH has a '73 and it is a stick shift which I do not know how to drive. I think once the kids are grown and gone I might buy myself one (automatic, of course!) And whenever I give him grief about it (he bought it for $12K (cash - but he needed to borrow $5K from the savings which he never paid back - and as he reminds me it has appreciated to a conservative $25K) It was his one fiscal irresponsible act (I did agree to it)...

We also have a bright red 2004 vette. My husband wants a new one.
