Houston, we have a problem...

Dammit.

I want to use stronger language, but...alas.

Driving home from Burger King tonight, the Expedition suddenly started bucking like a bronco in first gear. Now it idles rough and accelerates rough. Fun all around. Could be as minor as a hole in a vacuum hose or a clogged fuel injector...or as serious as a transmission problem. Who knows.

Just what I needed right before a vacation. I already am going to pay $$ for the trip. Now I will probably have to pay a goofy amount of $$$$$ to get the car fixed.

It sucks...that's what it does.

On the bright side, I'm glad it didn't fry while being driven to Gulf Shores. Now THAT would suck.

Still, not a headache I want to have right now...financially or otherwise, especially given the fact that it needs to be repaired by a week from Monday.

Great.

Oh man... that SUCKS! Well, you're right - it sucks "less" that it happened while you were here in town instead of hundreds of miles away.

Sorry to hear about that.
