Now a new mission for the 4runner.
Son #3 that just started work and is staying with us got a call at midnight Fri.
His Wife and kids (2½ year old and 10 month old) were coming to visit. 500 miles one way.
The midnight call was their Kia caught fire about halfway through the trip. Fortunately they were in a city and not in the middle of the desert. CHP was there almost immediately, extinguished the fire, and took them to a motel.
They are safe.
Both sons headed out to rescue them. Kia was towed to a shop Sat morning. Shop is closed until Monday.
They were going to drive them back home, but I suggested they continue to our house (in AZ). This way there are more options. If their car is easily repaired we can drive them back for their return. If not, they can take the (recently repaired) Jeep or the 4runner to use until their Kia is repaired or replaced.
I vote they take the 4runner as it's our newest and safest vehicle (2017 with 32k miles). But being used to a Kia, I don't think she'll be comfortable driving it. We'll see. I think she'll prefer the 04 Jeep WJ.
No one wants to drive my Wifes 07 Ram 2500, or my 68 F100, lol.
DIL & grandbabies are staying in CA with her Dad (an a-hole) until son gets a house here for them. Shouldn't take too long.
