DOH – car breakdown in Montana

with 6 comments

My car is fixed, for now. About $500 total. The guys finished the repair just before closing.

____ original post:

I was half hoping my old Honda would break down in Vegas. … Have it towed to the auto wrecker. Fly home to Calgary. Simple.

For my $1600 initial cost, I didn’t expect it to last forever.

Worst case scenario → break down in the middle of nowhere.

Honda breakdown - not funny

From Livingston, I still need to get home to Calgary. How do I do that without the Honda?

I gambled. About $500 (so far) to replace the fuel pump and filter, same day.

Livingston, I presume.

  1. Pretty little town. Bet there is no *Bux there though!
    Where are you getting WiFi?

  2. McDonalds wifi didn’t work, as oft happens.

    I’m at Coffee Crossing, waiting on the repairs.

  4. Reminds me of the day my Corvair died and the scrap merchant came and loaded it on a flatbed.

  5. Coffee Crossing – sounds interesting!
    Is it like a Duck Crossing, or a Deer Crossing?
