My car's transmission blew a few weeks ago. At this time people were telling me it would look like about $700 to fix. At this time, I had been spending more than I should, as I often do. Come to find out, that it would be about $1,300 to fix. It gets worse; assuming my parents would spot me whatever money I didn't have, I had my mechanic tow the car to his garage, where he took out the transmission and quoted me $1,500. FML. Yet again, it gets worse. My parents found out I had been spending more than I should have been and lied to them about it, so they said they weren't going to help pay for anything for the car, and that it was my fuck up and I had to learn the hard way. I completely understand this and am not angry with them at all, as it is my own fault. So, I called my mechanic told him I would pay him to tow the car back so he could free up his garage, as he only has one bay for working on cars, and I would come up with the money somehow and have him work on it when I had it. Well... he told me that taking the transmission out and putting it back in is laborious, and since he had already taken it out to get an estimate, he would obviously have to put it back in to bring it back to my house; in short, just having him put it back together and bring it back would cost $600 alone. So I have to come up with $900 by Monday for parts, and then another $600 the following week for labor. FML.


FML. FML. FML!!!!!
