    Default I needs a wahmbulance

    So, I am in the middle of no where, with some fucking awesome people that I love building a straw bale house. And the fuel pump went out on my van. No prob, cause I have a warranty, or so I thought. But apparently I've driven 700 miles too far (in 4 months!) for the warranty, so it's $800 to fix it. I have $800, but I've been thinking about jumping ship for a while, and I'd rather put $800 into a new van than use it to fix this van. Except that I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere and there aren't many good vans, and I'm like one or two thousand short of the cashola for a new van, and there are no strip clubs here. It's so fucking frustrating, cause if I were in a town with a titty bar I'd have the money within a week, but I'm not, and I can't just go up to PDX to work (which I think is the nearest big city, but I know the stripping kinda sucks there), cause where would I leave my dog?

    I know I should be more responsible and keep more emergency cash with me, but fuck, it just seems like a grand for emergencies should be enough.

    Wah.

    Is that what the dealership quoted you since you took it in hoping it would still be covered under the warranty? If so, go to a regular shop, it'll be a lot cheaper. That's a lot of money to replace a fuel pump. *Sends positive vibes*

    I think you and your buddies should open an makeshift strip club in the straw house so you can get a new van. all kidding aside, though, i hope it works out. it sucks you might have to spend money on a new pump.

    Maybe some of the PDX girls could reccommend a hotel that is dog friendly, or maybe you could stay with one of them? If you could just get a ride up to the city? Honey everybody on this site likes / trusts you I think you should start a thread asking for help in that area. If you were in my area I'd come scoop you !

    Bingo. It's a $600 part from NAPA (they were gonna give me, like, a fifty dollar discount), and it seems like regular shops will do it for like $500, but I found a place to get it for $250 and a $100 mechanic. But then I was calling the NAPA warranty people bitching at them some more, cause it's only been four months since they installed the last one, and they said that if the NAPA here says the part is defective, I can have a new one for free an I just have to pay NAPA like $250 to put it in. The guy at NAPA was kind of rude and said he wouldn't have time to call till tomorrow, so... either way it's a lot cheaper.

    I still wanna jump ship, but I think I'm gonna try to get one more trip over the Alcan outta this van.
