So....it wasn't the transmission. Phew! Turns out, it was a little clip that holds the cable in place, connecting the shifter to the transmission. Should be simple, right? Wrong. :( Of course they don't just sell the clip. You have to buy a whole new cable! The price of the cable isn't that bad ($200) but the labor to install it is $400! I'm grateful that it's only $600, but that could've been some really fun shopping money!
I guess these will have to wait.
After dealing with all of this car stuff I desperately needed to laugh, and SNL came to my rescue! Betty White was incredible! Did you all watch? I can't believe that woman is 88?! I loved that some of my old favorites came back (Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Anna Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch), making this probably the funniest SNL I've seen in a long time!
I hope everyone had a good weekend, and a great Mother's Day!

Glad you got your car fixed! I saw SNL and thought it was hilarious. Loved Betty White of course, but also loved Maya Rudolph doing Whitney Houston again - hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI need to Hulu Betty White tonight. I have heard nothing but roars about her performance. Glad the car is fixed. :)

Ugh, it's always such a bummer when you think about what fun shoes / clothes you could have spent your money on... rather than parts for a car. But things could be worse!!
ReplyDeleteI heard SNL was great - I missed it :( But, glad it took your mind off the car!

That sucks about your car. At least it's fixed now.
ReplyDeleteI <3 Betty White. That was a great episode.
Wowee those shoes are lovely but so super expensive (I'm living in a thrift world)!
ReplyDeleteLove the image of the car you used, glad you got yours fixed!!
Isn't it amazing how expensive car repairs can be?! I feel like whenever you bring it in for a hiccup, it's at least $300 to fix it!
ReplyDeleteI really need to check out SNL, and car repairs are the worst! Atleast it wasn't a transmission though, that would cost an entire wardrobe!
