We have the car back, all fixed.
Late yesterday the mechanic was checking it out, didn't feel anything while driving it in the driveway, so decided to take it down the road. He only got a few buildings down when it started shaking, so he did a u-turn, but the front collapsed just before his driveway and wouldn't go any further. He managed to get it to the side of the road and jack it up, but he was alone and couldn't tow it himself. He managed to get people from a nearby business to tow it in.
So probably because it was difficult to move and was in the way in the garage, and maybe because he broke it ;), he fixed it today (Saturday). It was the cv joint, which is what dad suspected, it completely fell apart. Lucky dad stopped when he did, otherwise he may have been stuck in the middle of the highway.
