My baby died. :(
I drove to school on Thursday morning and I experienced some car trouble. It was making this strange whurrjrrjrrjrr sound and it wouldn't go over 30 mph or 3 rpm even. Upon arriving hysterically to the Zone 1 parking lot, I called the local Ford dealer and asked them if I could bring her in. She spent the night at Jim Click Ford and woke up feeling better apparently, because she didn't want to make the noise for them. They told me all was well Friday afternoon and I went to pick her up. Upon leaving the service department driveway, I heard the same whurrjrrjrrjrr noise and stopped. I summoned the service manager who said plain and simple, "ma'am you probably shouldn't be driving this." She spent another night at the dealership. Saturday afternoon they called and broke the news to me that the transmission was out and needed to be replaced. Since my family is poor and so am I, the $4500.00 fix is not going to happen. My car is worth $1600.00 with the junk transmission. Anyone know someone who can fix this for cheaper? Anyway, Father says some kind of lease is the best bet for me now since he can't afford to help me out on this one. I wish this would have happened when I wasn't in school a week before midterms... I guess the 2 mile walk to class will give me some more exercise. I hate being dependent on people.
