Clarence has returned to me!

Clarence has returned to me! He has come home! Things have been changed and everything sounds so much better than before!

For those of you who don't know, Clarence is my car. Named by Cameron after the transmission change. He assumed the gender had to change too.

Anyways, I got him back today. He went to the shop yesterday to have a diagnostics run to figure out what might be the cause of all the shaking, jerking, and horrible sounds in the engine. We also wanted to make sure we were getting the right things fixed this time, since the last shop didn't figure it out and made me spend money on parts I probably didn't really need. This time the verdict came down to: spark plugs, wires, and a good power cleaning of the injectors to get the gunk out.

Got the message today, that Clarence's repairs were done, and he was driving much much better. So Randy, the guy who fixed it, came and picked me up, let me drive back and asked if I was happy with the changes?! I was .... no jerking, just a smooth acceleration!

Baby yeah! Clarence drives amazing. No more fears of my car having a sudden death on my way home or back, no fears of getting stranded in some farther away place! Just some care free driving! I believe a small road trip is in order, just because I need to feel the road under my car and the knowledge he won't die on me! Not yet! One of the few dependable things in my life right now. Just needs a bit of maintenance from time to time just like everything else dependable in my life.
