Car Realities.

 I started to title this post "car whoa's", but I decided to make the subtle change to "car realitie's".  Why?  Simply because we are so blessed as a family to each have our own car.  With much privilege, comes much responsibility and sometimes things just happen.  Here are a few of those tales.

Kendall got some practice changing a flat tire.  Thank goodness it happened as she was pulling into the neighborhood.   Much better than somewhere else.  The moral of the story is 'things like this never happen at a convenient time'.  She had a crazy day ahead of her and had to deal with this sudden inconvenience.

Sidney paid to have her car windows tinted.  It looks so good.  Yet, I somehow do not have a picture.  That being said, her headlights were ridiculously fogged over.  I decided to take on the task of replacing the entire headlight assembly.  I, of course, roped my dad into helping.  This task was not for the faint of heart, as it literally required the car to be on jacks and basically the whole front end to be taken apart.  It went quite seamlessly.  That being said, what took the guy on youtube 30 minutes, took us 4 hours.  Ha!  We did it though!

Sidney had made a comment that her vents were not working super well.  She said she was going to clean them.  I started to giggle.  I do not think a bit of dust on the vents were going to make a change.  However, it donned on me that we had never changed their cabin air filters.  We made a trip to the auto parts store for new filters.  Yep, they were disgusting.  Kendall's was the worst.  The squirrels had definitely had a field day.  This is just so gross!  Well, onto fresh air and a regular schedule for changing these filters!
