There are certain 'things' that I can't live without. My dryer, a microwave, TV, the Internet, air-conditioning!!! Well there is one thing that I love.... automatic doors on my minivan! The ease if opening and closing the doors with the press of a button has made my life so comfortable. It is great to be able to open the doors and the tailgate from my little key ring when I have a cart full of groceries and two boys hanging from it. Ahhh...life is good.
Until today. I took the van into the shop because it was having trouble with opening and closing its doors. I just assumed it needed a little WD-40 and some TLC. Well, I was wrong. The door tracks are cracked and both motors are blown. Ouch. AND it will cost over two grand to fix. Double ouch! Now I will have to manually open and close both doors. Triple ouch!
It has been nice having this automated life. Good-bye doors opening at the touch of a button. Good-bye my beloved closing of doors without having to take off my seat belt. Good-bye. (tear, sniff, sniff)

I will say a prayer for you as you mourn the loss of your doors. There but for the grace of God go I... Good luck ; )
OMG! Okay Kat........use your imagination and gumption and compose an email to Dodge headquarters to see if you can get some attention. Your van is too new to have such a major, not to mention, expensive fix.
That's your mission so that you can live the easy life again.
Think of it as a great arm workout! Love ya..Melissa C.
Tod wrote a great letter to Dodge. We will see if that gets us anywhere!
Okay Kathryn, this is the mother-in-law speaking. I need a new entry with perhaps some photos of those boys. I miss your writing!
