Vroom Vroom

Our little van is due (maybe overdue) for an oil change. 
So today we decided would be a good day to take her in.
Our oil change place has very good prices, very good customer service and a vast collection of family magazines.
The kids actually don't mind the wait..... if only more places would adopt this kind of comfort customer care. 

Peek-a-boo........ 👀 c-u 

Cookie enjoys the puzzles and stories in the latest copy of Highlights magazine.
I remember Highlights...I loved Highlights as a kid...who knew we'd find a copy!!

Before we knew it...our little van was finished getting her oil changed.
Time goes by quickly when you're flipping through the latest magazines!!!

vroom vroom.....

What where we doing last year at this time??

18 gallons of......... SUMMER FUN

Oh geez...there's nothing like busy fun filled summer days!!
The Persingerfive live for summer!!

There is nothing like FUN in the SUN with our schedule booked full of adventures, growing, playing, reading and enjoying family time.

The thing that bugs me most lately is the ever increasing gas prices.
Eeeekkkk!!!!!
That's not so fun...


We are beyond excited lately as we prepare for our summer holiday...

singing while waiting for the van to go through....

Down at the carwash....


At the car wash. yeah....


Hey get your car washed today



This song (below) came to mind as the van was going through the car wash....
I sang it too.... okay......NOT out loud only in my head.
I'm sure if I did sing out loud I would've gotten a lot of side eye looks
Great song, huh.....

bat mobile

I took my van in for an estimate on brake repair.


That's when I saw this black beauty in the garage.
Wow!


It's not a Mustang---I think it's a Shelby Bullitt
Very nice....I like beautiful cars.

As for the brake repair estimate; it was too expensive and time consuming to have it done right now.
It'll have to wait a little longer--
I dread having my vehicle away from me for too long.
Too much to do.....

Wild Wild West.....

Every morning, this week, we've been had to stop by the service station to fill our tire with air.
So today we're having it looked over for the leak to be repaired.


I was not pleased to hear that there was a hole in one of the new tires I bought last month.
But it was in fact-- three holes in that tire--Too close together for repair.
Arrgghhh!!

good ol' tire— took us many places, many times

I had to purchase another tire in addition to the one I was already going to buy.
Two tires!
*Frustration*

----------------------

But leave it to my girls to put a smile right back on my face.
"If I was a tire.......…Would you choose me?"

We were in for a long wait.
So we went into Costco to peruse the aisles and grab a snack.
(caesar salad and churro.......Mmmm)

Hai

King sized bear hugs 

Cookie dancing like a ballerina while her shadow looks like an animated version of her....

After what seemed like hours our van was ready.
Cookie was joyous to be leaving Costco with new tires on our van.



CRASH......
On the way home, while we were waiting at the  stop light, we were hit from behind. 
Apparently the other driver was texting and driving. 
As I got out to inspect any damage or injury. 
The woman, still clutching her cellphone, checked too, but then jumped quickly back into her car and sped away. 
Our van did NOT received any damage.
Her car received major front end damage.
She left before we could get any insurance or license or even license plate information.
We were left with sore necks and back and our van had NOT even a scratch.
A police report was filed on the hit and run.


Must be why New Mexico is called the WILD, WILD WEST......

party like its 1999 ninety nine point nine

Our van began driving like it was in 2nd gear (with a top speed of 30 mph) early this morning as we drove to school.
The gas gauge was quickly dropping to the E zone.
Is it true what they say about running a car to 200,000 miles. (321,868.8 kilometers)
 Click here >>>>?????
Close the Window!!!
Too many NM dust storms have entered our van......

Will it ever run well again??
Yes!!!!
I took our van into the repair shop super early this morning and 
(tick-tock-tick-tock) 
they've just finished
Oh geez!!
Talk about cutting it close.
Now its time to pick up all my little ones from school.
OUCH!  My bank account hurts now.......
