The Toyota dealer just called; they have the last part and are actually finishing up the car today. But they weren’t sure that they could be finished in time for me to pick it up by closing at 6, and I’d still have to deal with the rental car on Tuesday. So I told them to take their time and plan for a Tuesday pickup.

Diane wasn’t thrilled by having to wait until Tuesday to drive her car, though!

The new power steering rack we need is on backorder, so the Toyota dealer just called and gave me the authorization number I need to rent a car (they’re paying, not me, which is a nice change) until they get our car back on the road.

*sigh*

The dealer authorized us to rent from Enterprise, and I wound up with a Toyota Corolla with 43,000 miles on it, which is a far cry from a brand new Prius! But it works, and since my daily commute is only 10 miles, I’ll get by. But I want our car back soon!
