Well spank my butt & call me George! I received a call on February 9th that my Subaru Forester has finally been repaired! I thought the day might never come.
Unfortunately I have my rental car until Saturday because I work 3 different jobs and couldn't make arrangements to get the rental back any sooner. While it was fun to be "lazy" for a while because the rental was an automatic, I have to admit there were times where I really missed driving my stick and even took my own car out once just for the sake of running it and "really" driving. LOL
