Man, you hope for a reliability with a new car. Seems like they design them now to break right around when the warranty ends, right? It's good you kept positive with this. Your awesome man, never give up!!!
When life gives you lemons…mad respect to you, Eldon, for staying positive and rolling with the punches. Keep doing what you’re doing. Awesome video, as always! And congrats on finding the bell in the Fire House!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔔🔔🔔😆
What! Dude! Haha thank you so much man! I appreciate you bro! Again, you didn't have to. That bell haha I was looking for a door bell for some reason haha
Hello eldon your positivity and cheerful spirit is amazing no matter what happens, like you said life happens it's how you handle the situation that makes everything turn around for the best, also you are so funny you make me laugh when you make them voices, I wish you all the best in getting your car up and running also no more issues, thank you for sharing the video, your a super cool guy I'm feeling for you, but stay hopeful, happy and to the positive in everything that you do, ❤️ Becca have a good night.
@rebeccasanchez4495 haha I can't help but use the voices 😂 so far I think things are really working out. Definitely staying positive and not letting the car ruin this vacation 😁 Thanks Becca! 😊
Your videos always bring positivity in my life, even when I'm down. And you don't have to apologize, this is apart of life's challenges. You handle yourself very well. Keep it up.
@gilbertgaribay9971 what!?! Man, thank you so much! You didn't have to do that. Seriously, I appreciate man! You're absolutely right. It's part of life's journey that we have no control over. Just gotta stay positive and get through it.
Hey I hope I'm not bothering you too much with all of these comments it's just it's fun talking to you and it helps me throughout my day as well with everything that goes on with me, but thank you so much for talking with me and commenting on my replies, anyway enough for now, I don't want to drive you crazy lol, have an amazing night sleep well thank you again for being awesome 👍😎😊.
You are not alone. We stayed at the Orange RV park about 15 years ago for a fun family Disneyland trip. Our truck decided to have problems. Hubby didn't want to turn off the engine so we tried to drive all the way back to Reno without turning off the engine. Ran into a freak storm along the way for some scary moments towing our fifth wheel. We made it. Like us, you now have one of those breakdown stories. Good thing you have such a positive demeanor!
@fw7993 oh man, that's crazy! You got very lucky. This excursion of mine will definitely be remembered haha and it's only the beginning 😆 Absolutely! Positivity always wins. It's only temporary. Things always get better 😁
Hey don't ever apologize for having a bad day well all can understand that...I have to say with ur car trouble u have been super positive all vid but the end of the day stress gets us I definitely understand wen u save money to have a nice vacation jus to have that happened bro that's tough but thank u for sharing ur experience with us man I hope ur vacation stays fun and u can make back home with ease love the vid
Love the video and your positive attitude. Respect to you, how you hamdled your car trouble and never let it mess up your vacation. You took in stride and you’re a champ for that. I could Daniel is good friend. It’s hard to find people like him. Can’t wait for more of your videos. Good luck and god bless!
@mbuckets2582 @danstinations definitely helped with the day. We had a lot of fun. This journey has just began haha my vacation may have gotten a little longer
Did you see the new season passes for six flags and cedar fair? No more diamond pass option for six flags. It's now like cedar fair. You only get the water park included. They say all parks pass, but it's not "all" parks. If I am wrong someone please tell me.
@DANstinations this is sad. I was hoping that cedar fair would include more parks. Like six flags and great america in one. That would have made me buy the top tier pass every time.
There's something about driving to LA and back that seems to bring out any car issues. I've had a transmission go out one year (not totally, it just started having issues above 62 MPH. Took 101 back and went 61 the whole way), and another year my wife's car had a cylinder stop firing and we just happened to be right near a dealer and they were able to fix it the next day and we got a rental across the street but it was a real pain.
@FleshGolem420 Very true, plus I did Uber for awhile and that probably did do some abuse to the alternator. Also, as you know, I do looove to drive. Just missed the factory warranty by 5k miles...
Sorry to hear about the car. That sucks and can put a damper on your enjoyment. But looks like you made the best of it all, laughed a lot, and brought us the content of your day at Knotts Berry Farm.
@Stackali very true. This is the worst luck I had with an alternator. My other cars lasted years. Funny story! This is the second time I had an alternator problem coming down to So Cal lol just remembered 🙃
Hello it's Becca again, I thought i would mention if you ever need any help just let me know I will do what it takes to help, because I want all the best for you as always, okay good night 😴 sleep well ❤️ ya.
New car has a warranty. Newer/Used still used and inherit other people's problems. Why did they trade a newer car in so soon?I I got a new Hyundai. Bought it 2 years ago and have 8 more years warranty on it.

I’m sorry Eldon. I will make it up to you.

always luck of the draw with certain parts. some cars alternators last way longer than expected and some fail early.
