another dead car

Well,
After yesterdays post I kind of expected this.
The Mercury is no more.
Let us bow our heads for the car.
It will live again, but not by my $
I am going to remove Ethan's Stereo and plates, then give the mechanic the title.
One of his technicians wants to fix it up for his own car.
It is not unrepairable but it is out of my budget.
We will see if we can find another car for him.
Good thing he is off from school and works close enough to walk.
