Yeah, so the universe has not stopped fucking with me. I just got off the phone with the mechanic, and he says I also need a new starter, a new front left caliper on my breaks, and a new transmission.
There are no words for how deep this depression is that I'm sliding in to. I have no money and no fucking job, and without a fucking car in this town, it's really difficult to find and get to a new job.
He give you a price as to how much to fix everything?
{{{Sean}}} I'm truly sorry life is shitting all over you right now. I'll keep you in my thoughts and I'ma lambast the hell out of the universe for you.
I should be cleaning in anticipation of Nicole arrival. I'm not. I will. I might. I'll get there, sooner or later.

$85 to fix the brake caliper, $120 to fix the starter, I didn't even ask about the transmission since it's just so beyond conceivable that I can get that money right now. edit: but the transmission will probably be around $1,000 to fix.
{{Sean}} BTDT so many times. My ability to talk various institutions into lending me money over the years has kept me in transportation and food, although the price has been staggering. I could easily retire on what I have spent in interest and fees. Ugh. I wish I had actual advice, but all I can offer is something~please~go~right~ma.
eta: as far as car repairs go, I've heard more horrible numbers. Transmissions are never a reasonable number.
