In case you missed it last week, we had some automotive challenges in our home.  Trust me, Thursday wasn’t a fun day to be me.

Luckily, by late afternoon Friday, our cars were ready to be picked up. It only took three buses, a late lunch at the Apple Pan, a couple of blocks on foot, $1000 for both cars, an emergency gas station visit for (expensive) gas, and four hours of my day.

Here is how our journey played out…

And so begins our ride across town

I'll admit it, this was my first time on an LA city bus

Thankfully it was clean, cool and there was very little traffic

Lunch at the famed Apple Pan
