After almost three weeks we have a car with four wheel!!! Who would have known it would be so exciting to have four wheels. It was a nightmare for us waiting to get a new wheel in. The mechanics ordered a wheel for us that got lost during shipping and for a time we were waiting for it to be found. The wheel was never found so another one had to be ordered and shipped.
In the mean time, we had the spare tire put onto the car so we could still drive to work. Spare tires are not meant to be driven on for long and the family was amazing at helping us out. In two weeks, we ended up using at least five different cars! It really made us miss our own car and feel guilty for inconveniencing others. Thank you family for all your help and willingness!!!
Yesterday, Emily was able to take the car in to hopefully get the tire on. The mechanics were worried they may have ordered the wrong size of wheel, but couldn't tell for sure until they attempted to put it on. It did end up fitting so the car is now drive able. However, with a straight wheel on they noticed the alignment was really off and more work needs to be done there. Here we come more car bills.
What a nightmare! I'm sorry. Car repair bills are the worst. Makes me seriously grumpy.
