So my transmission just blew up on my car two days ago. It was Friday after work and I was in rush hour like everyone else, and all of sudden my Honda Civic packed wouldn't accelerate past 1st gear. I noticed this when the traffic finally started going again. The engine just revved up and there was no shifting forward. DAMN! I had all these plans for the weekend and very little cash to get through - I ended up spending all my extra money on a tow-truck!
Even worse than that, when I got my car into the shop they told me the transmission was wrecked and that it was going to cost me just under $900 dollars to fix it. I don't have any extra money to spend on car repairs (or anything else for that matter).
I couldn't talk my parents or my brother into lending me the money (first time) so I had to get a loan with some lousy loan shark with a massive interest rate. I mean I did find a company that is online based and fast, but the rates are basically like a payday loan company. They are giving me 3 months to pay them back which is good I suppose - I actually found the this company doing a Google search for 10000 dollar installment loans. Some company called Lazerloan.com was the one that was #1, yet they don't actually give the loans out. They're just a go-between or middle-man deal from what I can tell.
Anyway, I will my piece of crap car back on the road this Tuesday (s0 they tell me). After taxes I'm looking at paying $943.89 as per the estimate on parts and labor. What I drag. And how do you sell a car with ruined transmission? I should just sell it and get something else, or maybe it will work fine for many years to come.
So just crying on your shoulder - money, money, money.......it's a drag.
