Greedy - you have jinxed me! But first an confession .... I am a soccer Mom. How can you tell that an ordinary Mom is really a Soccer Mom in disguise? She drives a Mini-Van. I drive a Mini-Van. Therefore: I am a Soccer Mom. My lovely shiny red mini-van died on Friday. It was temporarily revived, but once again passed to the other side. After a vain attempt this morning, she was escorted lovingly to the repair shop. After many diagnostic tests (while not free were certainly not very expensive - this is Canada afterall), a diagnosis was made and a treatment plan initiated. Open engine surgery was performed and an replacement alternator was implanted. The patient's battery was restarted and she was successfully revived. A short time was spent in the recovery parking lot, before being retrieved and taken out for lunch. Now why does this count as a Greedy hex you may be wondering. Well, two years ago, the transmission was replaced (over $4000). Last year her front end suspension, tie--rods and right tire rim were replaced ($2700). And now this. Fortunately the price goes down each year. But she is slowly becoming the Bionic Mini-Van.
