Our car broke down on Interstate 30 near downtown Dallas around 4:00 pm Wednesday. The rest of that evening, we tried to come up with a workable plan for getting the car repaired, us to our destination and back home. Through the night, we wrestled with what to do. When we work up Thursday morning, we were still trying to make sense of it. Then, I remembered that I have a Facebook friend who’s a car salesman in Dallas.
