Kim, I am pessimistic right along with you! LOL!! Hate to be that way, but no amount of parts is going to help your kids and hubby figure out how to fix that car unless they really, really want to learn. I have a very handy hubby, but he couldn't do much with cars other than battery, gasoline and tires. It just isn't his thing, unfortunately. I do think that a hubby with some mechanical skills is a good thing!

Good luck and hopefully it will be gone or operating soon!
