I seem to have the worst of luck sometimes. Heres the story.
I was driving back to school weekend before last.(Belleville, IL to Indianapolis, IN) I was just cruising in 5th and all of a sudden, I hear a small pop and then the RPM's jump. Oh S*it, I just lost 5th gear. So, I put it in 4th, and I'm driving and I hear another pop and lose 4th gear. So I pull off the road. At this point I'm all pissed off and dont know what to do. I decide to try to make it to the next exit. So I make it to the next exit 2 miles down the highway driving in 3rd at like 50mph. I stopped and called my parents and get a tow truck out to pick me up. Had to pay $180 to have the car towed into Indy. So, I went on ebay and found a transmission for $75 bucks. Last weekend I was going to tow the car back to Illinois and fix it but couldnt find a way to get home so I could get the truck to tow my car with. So its been sitting by the school for 2 weeks now. Went out last night to start it, and apparently the road that it sitting on flooded over the weekend when it rained because there is about 6 inches of water in the car!! I dont know what to do now. Hopefully this weekend I can get it fixed because I'm losing money not being able to work as much. I'm going to pull all the carpet out and the seats, except for the drivers side and try to get everything dried out. Well, thanks for reading, if anyone did. Just had to vent a little. -Kaleb |
