Jon's misfortune

I forgot to write and tell about Jon. His black Grand Am has been having problems. Tranny was slipping, etc.  so, he bought a car. We did not know it had a salvaged title. He got a huge run around. He went to get the title transferred to his name. They said he had to get it inspected first. So, he called to get it inspected. They said they couldn't inspect it until he got the title transferred.  He finally got the title transferred, and an inspection date set up--2 weeks later!  The inspection date was set for October 24th, and he could not drive the new car until it was inspected.  On the morning of the 21st, this happened:



Yep--he hit a HUGE buck!!  That's the hard way to get your deer!  Anyway--we are grateful to God for keeping him safe!!  The buck landed on the hood, and very well could have gone through the windshield.  So, what to do until he can drive the new car?  Well, his dad took him to work one day, and then some friends from church loaned him a car.

Then, day of inspection--everything on the new car passed (safety, emissions, etc.)--except for a little hole in the trunk.  So, the man told him to get some silicone and seal it up.  Rick took it to a body shop, and they did seal it for free, but it shrunk.  Then, Jon used some clear silicone, but was worried they would use a flashlight again, and it would shine through the clear silicone.  Then, we used the black truck bed liner stuff I bought for the Living Last Supper guard helmets.  That worked!

Today was the 2nd inspection.  It did pass, but the guy wasn't happy the truck bed liner was still kind of tacky.  Whew!  Jon can drive his car now!  And then!  He ran out of gas!  The gas gauge said he had 3/4 of a tank of gas.  Rick ran him some gas, and he is up and running now.  PTL!!

Blessings!
