New Car Shopping in El Paso, Texas

Well, the news is not good. It appears that the rear differential on the suburban decided to destroy itself last night. Thank goodness it happened in a town that had a GM dealership and a Marriot hotel right across the street from each other.

The mechanics told me that pieces litterally "fell out" when they opened up the unit in the shop. Multiple gears and bearings are ruined and at least one axle is bent. So...they need to replace the entire rear wheel assembly. And....they can't get a new one for a week!!

It's either work a trade in deal for the car here and leave driving a new one. Or fly home and come back in a week to finish the trip after a $3,000 repair!

Stand by....
