Our windshield wipers stopped working about 6 months ago. We never really got around to fixing them until this last weekend. Last fall, before we went to Disneyland, we kept smelling this weird smell in the front of the car. It was a burning plastic smell. We couldn't find it and figured it was the locks or something because there was a short in them. Jason and Steve (his dad) were replacing the wiper motor and saw that it had totally burnt out and got so hot that it charred the plastic covering between the motor and wipers and charred and burned a part of the body of the van. We couldn't believe it!! The van should've caught on fire the way it burnt it. What a huge blessing that it didn't catch it on fire! Both Jason and Steve were very shocked. Well, someone is looking out for us! So here are some pics of Jason, his dad Steve, and his brother Tim working on the car. I am so thankful that they know mechanics. It has saved us thousands of dollars! I am now an advocate of teaching our kids how to work on vehicles. I wish I knew how!
Doesn't Jason look so happy and excited!

oh, I'm glad it didn't burn your van! I totally agree with teaching your kids to work on cars. we have never taken a car into the shop, because my dad had always fixed them growing up, and now tyler always fixes them. it's so nice. i have great memories of working on my car with my dad, with him explaining what he was fixing on it. fun times!
How handy to have guys who know what they are doing on cars!!!
