You, on your way to see your family on Christmas, when all of a sudden you notice smoke just flowing out of your vehicle after being on the road for 10 minutes, with a half hour to go. YOu place a call to your family telling them you won't make it for Christmas.

That is exactly what happened on Christmas Day. My transmission gave out along with my radiator. 2005 Dodge Neon SXT took a dirt nap on me.

Had to scramble to finance a new care because I am not gonna pay over $1500 to drop the transmission. Can't afford it.

So now I was lucky enough to finance a 2014 Dodge Avenger. Badass car with a 2.4L engine. Purs like a kitten in idle, and roars on the highway.
