New Car

In case you have been wondering what I have been up to well, our car has some sort of seizure and now we are looking for a new car.

We asked what happened and nobody knew.  They couldn't find anything wrong with it.  They thought there might be air in the fuel line.  How did it get there?  Could it happen again?  Questions answered with shrugged shoulders.
