Here's where the Drama Begins!

So Tuesday we were planning on going to a cattle auction in Oklahoma but ended up sleeping in =) We did drive by there and take a picture tho (see below)

Then we found the "I love this Bar and Grill" that Toby Keith owns so we went in and had a drink. It was a really cool bar that looked like tons of fun at night.

We headed out of Oklahoma around 12:00-1:00 planning to stop in Texas to sleep and head to Albuquerque, New Mexico Wednesday morning. Before we got out of Oklahoma we stopped in Clinton, OK to get an oil change since we were about to hit 3,000 miles. We found a Goodyear Tire and stopped there since it's a well known place. Got the oil change and headed back on our way. While I was driving I got this crazy burst of energy (thank you Rockstar Energy drink) and told Leanne I think we should blow through Texas and drive straight to Albuquerque to get ahead on our trip. About 15 minutes before our exit at Albuquerque her low oil light starts blinking and I ask her if her car normally does this lol (mine does) and she's like "uh NO" so we get to our exit and we hear the car starting to sputter and at the top of the exit the car DIES. I call Tim and he walks me through somethings and I checked the oil and it was COMPLETLY EMPTY! We waited for an hour and half for the tow truck to get there. They towed the car to the dealership and Wednesday morning the dealership calls and says the drain plug is missing and the engine is shot and we have to get a new one. To make this LONG LONG story just long it ended up costing 3600 dollars to fix and we had to stay a whole extra day and night in New Mexico. I called Goodyear and they will DEF be reimbursing us for this!

So we decided to make what we could of it here in New Mexico. The dealership was really cool and gave us a loaner car for free so we went to breakfast (Cracker Barrel *3rd time this week) and took a well needed nap. Then headed to the mall to walk around before our hour and a half massage we scheduled at a spa =) After that we went to Red Lobster for dinner and had Crab, Lobster, Shrimp and their amazing biscuits. Stopped at Walmart rented a movie and stayed in at night.

Today (Thursday) the engine should be done and we can head out. Hopefully the last few days of RoadTrip 08 will be AMAZING that we don't even remember all the drama of the begining.

I have photos for everything but we're having technically difficulties so I will post them with captions later =)
