The distributor cap that the car needed came to $420.15. On the phone he siad that the car should be good togo, that he couldn't find anything else wrong with it, it never overheated while they were running it to see what the problem was with the stalling. He said he could run something through the radiator to see if there was a leak, if I wanted. He made it sound like it would be an easy fix if there was a leak. Turns out it needs a whole new radiator. Parts alone come to $500.... I'm going to price used radiators, we'll see.... But still with the $400 I just put down, this other AT LEAST $500... half of my tuition check is spent already and I don't even have it yet! The car's driveable now so I've got it thanks to gramma lending me the $420 (yeah, I USED to like that number...). maybe the radiator will hold up a while.


Always remember to quit while you're ahead.

How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
