Car Trouble

A car accident, actually. Mr. Bob was hit on his way to work as someone was pulling out from a side street. He's fine, but his 20 year old car that he had a new engine put into a couple of years ago needs work. The problem is, the car is so old that parts (like a new door and axle) might not be available, so the car may be a total loss and too old to get enough insurance money to replace it.

So we may be down to the one van with the bad transmission, but with him having to drive it to two jobs, and music lessons four times a week, it may or may not hold up. We live right in between two small cities, so, no matter which way we go, every place we go is a half hour away or more.
