We just spent $1000 on Jan 4th to get the car running. We spend almost 2 grand back in November when the clutch went, well it went back in sept but took 2 months to even get it back. Now as I was driving to school something snapped and the shifter no longer puts the car in gear :/ Its just stuck in neutral. Freaking perfect. Luckily it died right next to a truck cutting down trees with a police officer directing traffic. He drove me the rest of the way to the school to get DS and a lady there drove me back home. And its freaking snowing.
:( DH is pissed and says its my fauly and the car always dies when I drive it. We live less then 1 mile from the school! All I did was put it in 3rd and nothing happened. But I am gonna hear for weeks now how its all my fault and I always ruin anything good we have going for us and constantly move us backwards.
Just what I needed.
Quoting lasombrs:we still have the payments to make, we dont have good enough credit to buy a new one, its a perfect size for us and being a 4cyl 5 spd suv it gets amazing gas mileage which we need to get ds everywhere. I wish we could get a new one, or dh would let me pick a used one. He always picks the worst and that sets us further behind
Quoting xomrs.chase:
Yikes! Is it even worth fixing at this point? Sounds like a money pit :( *hugs* and it's NOT your fault
I feel your pain. One of ours died at the beginning of jan too. Turned out it was the head gasket. They wanted almost $2k to fix it. Not gonna happen....it was a 12 year old car.
And my dh was mad too. Said we should have traded it in back in October when he nagged me. Grrrrr. Hate it when they're right .
Favorite things of summer
