I called fourteen different mechanics today and got into a flow and ended up saying the same thing to everyone "Hello my name is Mikey. Long story short; My late grandpa left my wife and I this 1985 Ford Econoline 350, we want to renovate the thing and travel the states, it has 4000 original miles but has sat for 30 years. The issue is that the parking break is seized, or rather something is seized, the engine runs and purrs but it is stuck in place. So I am calling around town to get quotes from the mechanics in town because the tow is expensive and I need to know where to take it." Eventually I decided to work with University Tire and Auto. I gave them a call and made an appointment for tomorrow.
I got ahold of Moscow Towing and met up with Cory at around 15:00 at the Castle. Unfortunately, the thing refused to move. So he had to call his boss Arial and he told me that this is quite a strange situation this is as even if the parking break is locked it should still move. This feel ominous to me... Anyways it was 20:00 by then so Arial said that they will work on this Friday morning. Katrina and I are going to leave Friday morning to see her mom for her 50th birthday, so I asked Dad if he would hang out with them since its not our property.
I'm gonna need to call Uni Auto tomorrow and let them know the tow didnt work out and they'll work on it all day Friday.
I decided to post my Diary hopefully it will keep me more accountable with journaling.
