*edit* i want to apologize early for the long post. *edit*
well i drove my celica for the first time in two months today. all the way to the toyota dealership where they're gonna start working on it tomorrow
for a while i didn't think i was gonna make it and that i was gonna have to grab a trailer but i talked her through it and now she's waiting to be worked on.
the reason it's getting worked on is because the tranny has a 4-5 inch crack just above the driver's side axle and along the crack there's about a 1-2 inch chunk missing. long story short...kept spewing out tranny fluid. so i filled it tonite and started.
the second stop light i got to when i went to go, first gear was like neutral...car not moving but the engine was revving. so my friend and i pushed the car into the nearest parking lot and waited for about 10 minutes. started her up and she went like nothing was wrong.
made it to the next stoplight and it only did it once. i was less than optimistic that she would make it the other 10 miles. but i swear she heard me say "maybe we'll just go get the trailer" and she didn't want that.
call me crazy but i think sometimes what you say and do to your car affects how it drives/runs. case in point my ex keri's car wouldn't start so she kept cussing it out. so i sat down and talked to the car telling it keri didn't mean anything she said. keri was laughing while i was talking to the car but she didn't laugh when it fired right up for me.
anyways my car should be done by tuesday. i say tuesday in case they have to order in the engine mounts. that and i won't have enough time tomorrow to hit the bank and take out the money in case they have it done tomorrow.
i'm so excited right now
