Viva La Betsy!

I got my car back on the road yesterday.

It has been a very long three and a half months without her. Oh, I still had her, sitting in the driveway, taunting me everyday with her presence (not to mention the expired safety sticker and out of date registration stickers on her plates). But with $1000 worth of work needed in order to pass inspection, what was I to do?

Well, the great news was that the leak that she sprung while sitting in the driveway only added another hundred bucks to the bill, so it snuck in under the $1000-mark, bringing the total to $990.12.

Having my car and my freedom back?

Priceless.

Hi there -- sorry I'm posting this right here (couldn't find your e-mail address).

I have been deeply inspired by your blog and now have started to write my own. I would be happy to have a few regular readers and therefore ask you if we could do a "link exchange"?

Please let me know whether you are interested. I live in Switzerland and am excited to find out if I can join the English speaking bloggers' community. Delete this post by the time you've read it.

Best,

Simon
