My baby is dead!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was about to go home for spring break when my 1988 Ford Taurus blew its transmission right before I was about to pick everyone up to go home to KC. I was driving up a hill and my transmission felt like it simply shifted into neutral and never shifted back. I managed to roll it back to campus and checked the transmission fluid. I noticed it was slightly low, filled it back up, but to no avail! It won't shift into gear! WTF! Without my garage, I cannot examine it! My baby has never left me down before! And its older than I am //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Hence, I am forced to have my friends' mom pick us up tomorrow and leave my car here until I can either a) get it to a repair shop or b) sell it to a junkyard.

I come to you, CA.com, for consolation. I may either be seeing a great deal of money in repairs or having to purchase a new vehicle, which would depress me tremendously. Thank you in advance, unless you're a fuckhead.

And if it makes you feel any better I drove home for Spring break too tonight. It usually takes 5.5 hours, and it took 10 hours because of 6 different accidents. I was in a car from 3 P.M. today until 1 A.M. this morning.

My drive from school is about 9 hours, not fun. Its the sacrifice you make to go to school where you want.

See if you can get a junk yard ****** unless you feel like paying about 1000 for a rebuilt one. You should consider your self very very fortunate that your doors are not rotting out along with the center pillar and rockers. Heck my tail gate and rear wheel wells are rotted out. That is one clean wagon and you should put a ****** back in it and keep it. You could of coarse swap a manual in it.

Man sucks to hear for sure. One of the nicer wagons out there.

I say if you can fix it on the cheap, do so, if not time for a newer ride mang.

Good luck!
