 I remember your situation in my prayers. I don't have any motor-vehicle for 
myself (lucky to live in a near to my work) but I know what problem they can 
be. Just today my brother visited me here in Helsinki when he came to look 
for a new used car (he needs car in his work) - old one "died" just when he 
started summer-vacation three weeks ago.
