Car repairs - the dream is still alive

My car is now almost 12 years old and has over 200,000 miles (over 320,000 km) on the odometer. I hope it gets me up to Canada and back at least one more time!



In March this ball joint broke when I was pulling out of the driveway. I had just returned home for a few minutes because I forget my camera. Awesome timing! A few minutes before or a few minutes after and things would have been bad.



With my Dads help we were able to pull the broken ball joint. The whole process turned out to be a lot easier than I would have thought.

A fixed car means the dream is still alive!
