Time to use the bike? I have had issues with my car some months ago, and ever since I just use my bike. Seems to improve my condition and I am more outside. From time to time I see some other girls biking in the rain and being all wet. I can just pass them slowly and enjoy the view. So only advantages, not to mention the environment.

OT: My car's transmission died. THIS REALLY SUCKS!

Last night the transmission on my 1995 oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera died. I was going down the road and all of a sudden with no warning it lost power and started slowing down while the engine revved like if you press the accelerator while in park or neutral. I pulled over, shifted to park and then back into drive, and it started moving at a maximum speed of 20 MPH and was making a horrible grinding noise. I made it home (about one mile away). It seems about 99% likely that the transmission is blown. A rebuilt transmission will cost around $2000 parts and labor. That is a lot of freaking money for me! I don't know if this piece of crap car is worth it. It might be time to send this car to the crusher. It only has 98,000 miles. A transmission should last longer than that. Buying another car would cost a lot more, though. I have already spent about $700 on repairs of other problems with this clunker this year. I can't afford a brand new car at my meager pay rate. My savings are almost depleted after paying $362.09 per month for COBRA health insurance to my old job for the past year. I have managed to stay out of debt all of my life until now, but that will probably end very soon. I have another car, a 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity with 173,000 miles. it has been quite reliable for the last 12 years, but a car with 23 years and 173,000 miles could drop dead any time. I need to have 2 cars, since pieces of junk are all I can afford. I NEED MORE MONEY!!!
