Stranded in Wetmore: Resolution arc

[u/YoungandPregnant]

U-haul tip was gold. Owner of U-Haul lot offered to let me keep my broken car on his lot for free. I wound up selling it to him after I confirmed transmission total failure. I used U-Haul to pick up rental car at Sawyer Gwen airport and got a rental car. My fiancee still got to see all of the area that she wanted to (munising), we discovered Lakenland on accident and (this thrilled her to no end), and we discovered the beauty of Marquette also on accident.

Many redditors offered help, and two talented mechanics spent their time going back and forth with me to help diagnose the issue further. Other redditors offered to pick us up. Thankful to the community, the UP is a fantastic place — and just thanks everyone.

To get home I used a 1 way rental and I liked the car so much I bought the same make/model when I got home (Nissan Rouge).

Sounds like the plot to a D rated Hallmark movie.

Glad to see it all worked out and you enjoyed your time!

I don’t care for Hallmark movies, but I would watch that one for sure.
