Not sure if this goes here.

Anyways the transmission in our truck just went out, we think. It won't move, I was driving when it happened thankfully in town about 4 blocks from home. If I wouldn't have forgotten Charlie's bottle then it would've happened on a very dangerous road.

Now we're down to one car and my husband needs it, and he works for 2.5 days at a time.

My husband bought a little commuter pickup the day before, but has some work to do before it's driveable. The transmission is going to cost anywhere between $1700-$5000 depending. Once it's fixed we're putting it and our Explorer up for sale and buying a new reliable car. Always something at Christmastime.
