Van trouble!!

Our van broke down on Saturday and my dad has been trying to fix it. Well..... he is a good "mechanic",but this story doesn't prove it. On Saturday we were going out to get our Christmas Tree. So we pull out of the drive way and the car stalls! So my mom tried to start it again and again, over and over, and over. It won't start, so we decide to push it back into the drive way, the neighbors come over to help us. Then my dad climbs under neath the van and ask my mom to turn the key, she does. The fuel pump isn't working. So he test all the connections, and all the other stuff, and its fine. So the next day he goes and gets the fuel pump and changes it, it takes him 2 days to get in! Of course he had to drain the fuel tank, and then take that down and get the old one off, but still 2 days! Anyways, after he gets all that done and back on he says" Now it will work!" But it doesn't, so our neighbor who is a retired mechanic comes down to help. He listens to everything, checks is all out. He says "Change your fuel filter." My dad was going crazy and felt so stupid because he should have thought of it. So he changes that and hooks everything back up, still won't work! So he crawls back under and looks at everything, and decides to take it all apart again. And my mom started it up and the pump started blowing bubbles. He had two wires backwards! He was so mad! I thought it was funny.
