our good cars

we've had the mazda for about 18 months now (if you can believe that) and it has fewer than 3800 miles on it. but yesterday when kara took dagmar to school she noticed there were nails in the right rear tire. so she called me and i drove the hyundai to the doggie school and then followed her to sears. it was the first service the car has undergone, a tire replacement, save a single oil change a month or so ago. and the day before i had to get a new battery for the hyundai, so it's been a weekend of dealing with car issues. i do believe, however, that all's swell now. we hope.
