Within a few weeks of each other, both Pete's car and my car died. Not the 'I need jumper cables to restart my car' died but Pete's antifreeze was leaking into his oil and the leak can't be fixed, died. AND my transmission went out as well as something with an exhaust manifold and some other expensive things.
SO, how is Pete getting to school and I to work? Well, we are borrowing Pete's Dad's 1980 something Toyota that has no radio and the windows don't roll up all the way. And he is so lucky because he gets to drive me to work in the morning and pick me up after. The only issue is..... he can't pick me back up from work on Tuesdays and Thursdays so looks like I'm walking home the 3.5 miles :)
We also decided to pay to fix my car. Yes, it is a few thousand dollars but the transmission is "guaranteed" for three years. Cross your fingers for us.
Being a grown up and paying for things isn't fun.
