Dear Mother & Dad,
I may have to fly to Indiana
in June. I had my car diagnosed
thoroughly tested yesterday at the local
Ford dealer, and according to them
it would be unsafe and unwise to
try to drive as far as Indiana. They
said my car needs $80-100 just to do
some things which could be very
dangerous. But the motor could go
at anytime. They would cost $200
to overhaul. All the repairs would
come to more than the car is worth
because the body's not in very good
shape either because of rust.
I'll eventually get there, though.
Happy Mother's Day!
Rex
