UPDATE: All for nothing

Monday's venting post, re: crazy food chucking lady is now resolved. God saw fit to resolve it by trashing my car. Transmission needs to be rebuilt, front brakes are gone, and it is leaking exhaust...exhaust pipe needs to be cut and welded. So...no more food pantry runs.

I tried to buy a new car today, and my credit isn't quite good enough. They told me to wait 6 months and try again. I still plan to drive my car, holding my breath and praying, to get my own groceries, and go to Dr's appointments. But nothing extra. No weekly food pantry run, and no trips to my friend's house to bring him food.

I feel a bit sick to my stomach...and I hope and pray my credit settles out in the 6 months I have to wait.

I am so sorry to hear that. Just make sure your transmission is always good on fluid. Exhaust leak, you can life with, just might be loud. Front breaks, just be really easy on them.

@Sojournersoul The guy said the transmission was still filled with fluid, to the top, but that it smelled burnt, and that the gears inside the transmission need to be rebuilt. I would imagine that's not cheap.

@4meAndyou No it isn't. A transmission rebuild runs around $4000.
