Stick a Fork in Me, I’m Done

Bad luck comes in threes, and I thought I might have gotten off easy with the third thing being my car's battery giving out. Oh, no. No, I did not. Because the third thing actually seems to be my car's transmission. I'm so mad that the shop I took it to yesterday identified the problem so quickly. Apparently it was really freaking obvious and there's pretty much no excuse for the other shops I've taken it to missing the issue every other time I've had it looked at for the sporadic clunking noise. This place is definitely getting our business going forward. On the bright side of things, the timing is actually really good. We can juggle one vehicle until the kids are out of school at the end of the month. I made it past the gauntlet of the recorded video interview and have an in-person interview on Monday that's probably just a formality. Another income stream will definitely help with financing. Plus the local Nissan dealership extended their cash for clunkers program until the end of the month, and that might be the best option for parting with the old car. Guess I'm not as set on another Corolla as I thought I was.
