I would if we didn't work 2 different work schedules... I've tried already. He insists on driving his dads old truck that has NO AC... and me drive his rover to work when I can't get the damn key OUT of the ignition... I caused myself to get a blister last time I did that and STILL don't have feeling back in my index or thumb lol..

The good news is, the family that's letting me borrow their car.. is letting fame borrow it for another month. That way WE have time to figure out what we are gonna do with my car and what next steps to take.. which I've been praying to the lord about and I just need to be patient and wait for what he says or DOES on my behalf.



Gabe, it starts... just I don't have all 4 gears like I'm supposed too. It goes from 1st and third And that's it. Don't know what happened to 2nd Ana 4th. And my mechanic 2 months ago, connected my car computer to his diagnostics computer and drove around my neighborhood with that.. and he said my computer system in the car is telling my car to shift to second and 4th when its supposed too.... but the question is....

what the crap happened to 2nd and 4th gears??? That's why my mechanic wanted my car in his shop so he could take the trans out and look INTO it to see what's going on... And now he can't. And now we are screwed with my car getting fixed... and that means to pay someone else big money (which we definitely don't have) to look at my car and or junk it, and get the money (if there's any) for parts and use what little money that is as a down payment for yet another used car.

so right now my life kinda sucks... And trying to get this... and the nursery.. all figured out before baby Aidan gets here.. in 3 months. :(
Well, it could actually be a blessing in disguise.. When my sister got in an accident (wasn't her fault) and had to get a new car, they just happened to notice that some part of the steering mechanism was about to fail and if she had kept driving it she could have lost her steering at any point.

Anyway, I did a quick google search. If its a late model ford focus (around 2013) and you can't get it into 2nd and 4th, someone with the same problem posted that it was one of the clutch cables that was bad so they replaced both of them and that fixed it. Hope that somehow helps. He didn't say how much it cost. Will pray for you. God bless.

Oh Gabe... lol

Ite MUCH older than that...

It's a 2001..... and my mechanic did mention something about the clutch cables or something like that...

but idk.

we will just wait and see what happens and what God does in my life in regards to my car.

but I appreciate the research you did... and of course for continued prayer :)

I'm about to kill my step father -_-
My step mother is completely fine in the car with me driving she is always super calm and I barely make any mistakes, even when driving on a busy street.

My step father WILL NOT QUIT SCREAMING
Ahhhhhh I've made more mistakes with him screaming at me driving down the block than I do with my step mother driving on the street.

Sorry I had to vent

I think I'm losing my mind....yesterday, I locked myself in the trunk out of pure curiosity and today I was at the store going frantic because I couldn't find my phone and here I was texting on it. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this....

;) locked yourself in the trunk? That's so funny!

Can't claim to have done that, but I'm guilty of finding my child's cell at home and texting her to tell her she left it. :p

When it comes to driving the best thing for the person sitting in the passenger seat to be is calm as can be. I had an instructor and he was calm and fun. He made jokes, gave life advice as well as teaching me the essence of driving. That helped more cause it relaxes you. Driving is not that hard when you get used to it but yeah I feel you.

My grandson locked himself in the trunk of a car at a picnic. When they finally found him he said, "I was going to burst out with my super powers but they didn't work."

The funniest thing was, I had my phone and keys but for some reason I didn't think to use the release button on my remote :confused:

so many non empathetic people when you are searching for help on student loans and paying college tuition. They will just tell you "you chose to get an education, so figure it out yourself". Ugh I hate these type of people, no wonder most of America hate the privileged.

Many struggle with that here as well :(
Want to go throw water balloons (icy water) at the ones who got us to take up a loan in the first place?
