Alright, so I JUST had a journal not long ago talking about how I'm finally working my way out of debt and at a good clip even. WELL... life decided that just isn't allowed. I needed to drive 2 hours yesterday to get to another store for a special work related event. I got to almost 20 minutes away and my car decided that it didn't need transmission fluid anymore >_<

I now have a vehicle in my driveway that blows through a gallon of transmission fluid in about 30 miles, and it's probably getting worse. The likely situation is that I'm going to sell it (i know a few ppl who pay well for junk cars, fix them up and sell them for more) and try to use that as a downpayment on a new-used car.

IF I had decided I reeeeeaaaaaaaaaally wanted to keep my current car, it'd take a min. of 16 hours labor just to get in, take out the engine open up the transmission and then put it back together without even taking time to figure out whats wrong and then fix it. Being a '98 Dodge Stratus, the transmission is buried under the engine and cant be reached any other way effectively. So at 45 dollars an hour, minimum I'd pay JUST on labor would be 800ish. Add in the probable 10 hours to fix it and the cost of parts. i'm looking at minimum probably a 2k bill for a car that's just not worth it... FML!

So... that being said.. idk.. lol, nothing much to be done from this end of it.. but keep me in mind if you pray or whatever. It'll be VERY much appreciated.
