Welp up date on the car...

okay my mom lent me enough money to pay off the title on my dead smart car, I then went to the bank and got a loan to buy my moms car from her... so I own the bank 7k and my mom 6k (yayyyyy)

I then took it to get its oil changed 3 days before x-mass... I drove it home and it died.

turns out the mechanic drained the transmission fluid by accident, then when he noticed his mistake drained the oil and didn't bother putting anything back in the transmission. they come to my house on Christmas eve add fluid and I test drive it... that's good on them. I take it back into them and they redoo the work to make sure nothing was seriously messed up. I drive it back home and half way there it starts to shit the bed again. I turn right around and zip back to them. I sit in the waiting room for two hours.

Okay so they are taking it to a certified subaru mechanic now since they don't do tranmission work. its there fault this is all on them, they offer to set up a rental but since it xmass eve nothing s open will do so after the holiday but I do get a cab ride on them.

I call them monday, claims is closed, okay no worrie, I call tuesday okay we will write you a check for a rental car while we get your car fixed and over knight it to you. Yay... at this point I'm really impressed by how on the ball and honest these guys are being. that was a week ago, the check never showed up, he never sent me the tracking number, and I have called 5 times since and not heard back, also no updates on my car, last I heard the subaru mechanics were still waiting to hear back from the oil guys insurance too.

so I've now been with out my vehicle for over a week. I know its not the end of the world but shit man thi fucking sucks
