End results of car snafu

Dad finally managed to get a hold of the mechanic to find out exactly what had been done on the car....
He did not replace the struts. Yes they are shot, but they don't leak yet and he thinks they should get me through the next year until I can hopefully get a new car. It's all about saving me money.
He looked at the AC. It's also shot and he didn't repair it. Apparently, the car isn't worth that much.
The manufacturer doesn't make the throttle cable any more so he replaced it with a used one. It's not perfect but that was the best he could do. It did catch a bit this morning but that's the first time I've felt it since I came back. Not that I've driven it that much.
I have a new exhaust system and muffler. Muffler was free because of the lifetime warranty but labor is not. *rolling eyes* They have to get you somehow.
I have a new right front tire and a nice front end alignment. Dad wants me to replace the other three tires as soon as I can as well. *sigh* The mechanic at Les Schwab said the alignment was way off so I'm glad that's taken care of.

On the up side, the mechanic's bill was a lot less than I was expecting.

Coronet

So my ride to coronet fell through. I realize that it's almost 400 miles round trip. I really didn't want to drive it myself. I also heard that perhaps the tent I was going to borrow is going to be needed by the owner after all. I haven't gotten a hold of her yet to find out. Last minute planning....My biggest stressor.

I don't want to drive down until Saturday morning. I have to work all day tomorrow and don't want to take off after work. There is scrapbooking tomorrow night too. I guess I'll figure it out tomorrow night. Anyone else have any ideas?
