$$$ Funds for Fixins' ~ Auto Info

I wanted to call this segment "Windstar Wars", but I was afraid that not everyone would get it. Did you get it?? If you didn't, then YOU are the reason I didn't call the segment that! LOL.

I'm gonna try to put this is a little kid prose format (LOL). Today, Dorothy called the Land of Awws on her imaginary cell phone to see what those naughty little grease-monkeys were up to. And the big grease-monkey told Dorothy that if she wanted to get back home, she would have to bring him $1400 in emeralds and rubies for her hot-air balloon! Gasp! Dorothy did not know what to do! So, she called up her fairy godfather and he said that HE didn't know what she should do either. He said "let's ask the fairy godmother what you should do." So, Dorothy called the fairy godmother on her not-so-imaginary telephone and was still awaiting a call from the sky when she had a thought. "Why don't I ask the Wizard (Loan Officer) if he can help!" And Dorothy asked the Wizard what could be done. The Wizard thought about this and decided that he would give Dorothy the emeralds and rubies so that she could get her hot-air balloon back! But, before Dorothy can accept the Wizard's offer, she must first tell the fairy godmother this information. You don't want to make a fairy godmother angry or her balloon will POP! The end.

The additional $1400 (now a combined total of $2700) is for a new head gasket, bolt set, and the head is so warped that it cannot be fixed, and must be replaced. This whole process takes about 14 hours to repair. They are only charging for 1/2 the labor. UGH!!
