The Car Transmisson Has Broken!

On the bright side I think I have like 5000 miles left on the warranty. I will check tomorrow. If it's not longer good, I think I might have to get a new car. We will see.



You know, this is why I like sticks. They only cost $300.00 to fix.

*******

The next day:

Yes the warranty is still good, thank God! So, last night on my last delivery, just before nine, I got off the main street and drove on to the street where my delivery was. I hadn't gone more than a 100 yards when my car feels like one of the tires stopped turning and skided, making a loud noise. I think I have ran over something AGAIN, and stop, so I can look at the tires. The tires are fine, what's going on? I continue to the delivery. The car seems fine (because I was under 25 mph). I deliver the pizza. I start up again. When I tried to go over 25 mph, it doesn't shift up. I know the sound of a slipping engine from having three manual cars. I knew what was wrong.

I call the store and tell them. Then I try to drive back. The longer I drive, the more it slips, also consistance with a stick. I have to pull over and let it cool down. I finally get back and cash out. I try to drive home. It's getting so hot that I can smell it burning. I pull over in a fast food restaurant half way home. I talk on the phone for a while with Bob and my sister. I then try to leave. No reverse! I put into neutral and try to push it out of the parking spot, so I can drive forward (assuming I still had that). I'm not strong enough to move it. The parking spot is on a downwards slope. SHIT! I call up the towing company that popped the door last month. $45.00 to get it home. I got home around 10:30.

Today I cleaned it out. I filled the trash can 3/4th full with all the trash from the car. . . when will I learn? The car looks like an ordinary person's car that needs to be cleaned now.

Tomorrow I calling AAA and checking them out. Otherwise I will pay $55.00 to get the car to the dealership in the next town. I have no idea how long this will take. But I think, I KNOW, I will be walking to work at least Tuesday and Wednesday.
