Not-So-Peachy Renault

Mid-November we returned the Renault to the car service guy. With the ever-present transmission issue we informed him that he had not "fixed" the problem and he should try again. So... three weeks have passed. He thought he had figured out that the problem is a faulty computer module. So, he ordered the new part, replaced it and (imagine this!) it DIDN'T fix the problem!!! Now he has another Renault at his station (presumably with a different problem) that he is going to swap parts with until he finds the part that is faulty. When Brandon told me I was supposed to have the car back last week, I knew how likely that was and thought I would believe it when I see it. Now they have given up on providing an estimated time of the car's return. I believe that at this point the car has officially spent more time at the service station then it has with me. I tell people that I have a car but it actually lives at the service station and only comes here to visit me once in awhile. Oh well... look on the bright side -- Lydia has learned the words "bus" and "taxi" and thinks of them as exciting excursions. Oy!
