I know, I know it's upside down, but I have spent way too much time trying to rotate it. This was our sunrise view outside our hotel room in Scottsdale this weekend. It was absolutely stunning. I went to a dental conference with dad, you know how I love those....but it was really good. We had a little adventure getting there, it was about 10 miles outside of Blythe and we were chattering away when I noticed that it seemed like the car needed to shift, ahem, well it was the transmission fluid overheating. We limped into Blythe luckily, and discovered via Siri there are no car rental places in Blythe. So we went to several auto parts places to see if we could get some transmission fluid, they were all closed. Dad said a prayer and we saw a sign for K-Mart and headed that way, lucky for us there was an open auto parts store right by K-Mart, unlucky for us, it seems that the trans fluid was not low. The guy at the auto parts store told us about a 24 hour garage and once we weighed the option of the 24 hour garage or a night in Blythe we decided on the 24 hour garage. Surprise! You can rent a car in Blythe, the garage had a Nissan Altima with 200,000+ miles on it they gladly rented to us and sent us on our way. When we got back on Saturday night it seems, they flushed the transmission, they couldn't get the old filter off, but the car seemed to run. There were no promises we would make it home, but whew we did, next up this week is to get the Pilot in the shop.
