Ok so the manager called me back and actually told me what is wrong with Car. It is not her drive shaft. While they were checking the clutch cable, they broke a part of the steering components. So they are replacing it for free. That is excellent news! The mechanic's son is interested in buying Car. I believe I'm going to sell her for $1500. It's under blue book, but Car has a lot of cosmetic issues. Then I'm going to look into getting a new car in July when
elvnsword is home for R&R. It will be much simpler than trying to send the paperwork downrange and all.
