Hey all

Got great news about the money hole today.   I noticed colant 2 days ago
took it in today blown head gasket.    Great well i set out to the bank  to
make my 2nd payment on the bus.  Yah had it check 2 months ago and it was
fine.  I also saw the leak my self mechanic waited for me so i know its
gone.  Well what now 3500$ down and another 1000$  for fixing it is like a
kick in the nuts pardon me.  My mechanic did not qoute me a 1000$  he said
he would call me as soon as he could with a qoute,  I got my aircoold 70
almost together to drive but no heat:(  How long can i dive this bus without
hurting in very badly.   I am planning on going to  the Tico enigne
conversion but thats when its paid off next year.  help me

drive it and pray?
or park it and freeze

TIA
