My car started having some troubles staying in 5th gear, and after some research online I decided to take the car into my mechanic to see what might be the issue. I had some small hopes that instead of a giant, costly repair it would be a simple fix. Unfortunately my mechanic used the "T word"....transmission.
Despite assurances that I had time, my transmission has given up the ghost. It really couldn't be much more convenient...considering. I was pulling into a friend's driveway when it ceased working altogether, and I do have some funds from an earlier accident that will now be allocated to new repairs. (Who would have ever thought that a minor accident would be such a blessing now!?)
So now I will get to juggle commitments with borrowing vehicles and getting more exercise by biking to nearby errands! (silver lining!) Hopefully the next few weeks will continue to go smoothly with speedy repairs and such!
