My Daughter Buys Her First Car - By Herself

Well - today didn't turn out as planned. Daughter and I take the trade-in car out to get it appraised ahead of time and of all things - half way there, the damn thing blows a transmission. SOB. No warning, no previous indication of trouble, nothing.

I managed to limp it home between the shifting out of gears, slipping and slamming/banging back in and out gear. That was fun. Oh well - not much to do but laugh about the whole thing. Luckily we really don't need the trade amount - just would have been nice.
