Time to say goodbye to the truck?
I woke up this morning to find that the car was gone, but the truck was still parked in the street. My husband always takes the truck to work, so I knew that this wasn’t a good sign.
I called the husband. He thought that the truck just needed some time to warm up, since it was cold this morning. He said that he couldn’t get it to move.
I went out and let the truck warm up for 45 minutes. Basically, it will start and shift into gear, but it won’t move. At all. I called AAA, and it’s been towed to the repair shop. According to the tow truck guy, “The transmission’s locked. That’s never good.” Hmmm….
My husband is in denial that anything serious is wrong, but I have a feeling that the truck may be at the end of its road. After dumping $1500 into it earlier this year, ponying up for transmission work on a vehicle with about 200,000 miles on it falls into my “money in the toilet” category.
We’ll see what the auto shop says. Luckily, we can easily do with one car until at least the end of January.
Anyone got a nice reliable car for sale?
Need a Mustang?
My husband and I just bought a little beater, so we’re going to sell my sweet 2000 Mustang next spring. 
Gotta prepare for kids!

We also sold my sports car before the kid. Mine wasn’t a Mustang, though, and it leaked oil and had no heat. Did I mention the engine knock?
Thanks for the offer, though
