Tom and I drove across town this morning to pick up our repaired Ford Windstar. I opened the hood just to verify that something looked different, and I was surprised to see that the entire engine looks like it got an overhaul! Everything connected to the engine blocked was replaced. It looks great. The mechanic even replaced a couple bad belt pulleys, too. All this for less than half the price of what a head gasket repair would have cost in the US.
Ironically this van has turned the corner for me. Rather than performing below my expectations, it has begun exceeding my expectations. After driving another car for three weeks, I actually enjoyed driving the Windstar again.
