Glad it doesn't take too long once they get in there to do it. Will have to figure out whether we make two trips or one when parts are in for us. I HATE driving out of town. I get really stressed in traffic, when I am the passenger I have the option of covering my eyes and taking deep breaths, as a driver, obviously only the less effective of the two is an option and certainly no Xanax which I do need in certain places.
The city with the dealership is the further from home and the busiest city that I can actually drive to and in, but it is really hard for me. But, it would be more cost effective to suck it up and DH drive one and me drive the other the same day because that will only have us needing to eat out of town one or two meals vs 3 or 4 that we would need to if we make 2 trips and of course one of us will have to take a day off work each time, so there is that cost factor as well.
I could suck it up and go without him on one of my days off and have him go without me on one of his days off, but I get even more stressed if the kids are on the road without me (has only happened once and that was because the car needed service, we had the appt. for it out of town, and I came down with strep throat, I was too sick to even worry that day.) Also, if I went without him, I wouldn't have to option of someone else driving if I got overwhelmed. Pretty much just thinking out loud here, but if anyone wants to brainstorm ideas or tell me to get over it and suck it up, feel free to.
