It's been a major source of contention in our household. You see, when we left Prague nearly 6 weeks ago, my car was actually at Renault service. Having been there for 2 weeks, we left with this report from the mechanic "It's not ready to pick up. It is completely disassembled, and when reassembled with the new part, it would not start". So... we boarded a plane for America.
And then we enlisted some help from friends in Prague. Various people were lined up to keep in contact with the mechanic and help arrange a sale once the car was again functioning.
This leads to today. Car is still not working. Mechanic has given up. Someone will buy our car for 30,000Kc ($1500). We owe the mechanic 20,000Kc ($1000) for NOT repairing our car. "Profit": $500.
Guess that's $500 more than my original plan would have netted:
Take car to nearest cliff. Push. Leave country.

I am laughing so hard right now, you have no idea...
Ahhhh! Ms Lemon rides again and is alive and well perhaps to haunt someone else. A better new name might be the Phoenix - as in one who rises from the ashes?!?
