My car has been making a noise for a few weeks so our friend looked at it and the transmission is going. He told me I need to buy a new car Even if I get a new tranny it will cost too much to replace. He told me to get a second opinion but I trust him. I should get 3000-5000 more miles out of her. She is the first car I ever bought on my own and I just paid her off. As you can tell I am quite attached to her. Yes my car is a her lol. I can't believe how upset I am over this. DH is taking me car shopping tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Car struggles suck! The same thing just happened to my friend last week. She paid off her car in full in May and now the transmission is shot.
Car shopping should be interesting. H seems excited to go shopping. We so far agree that I should get a 4 wheel drive vehicle since I have to go to work no matter the weather and it would be good to get a vehicle a little larger with hopes we have a baby in the near future.

I just went through the same thing. My car isn't as in bad of shape, but it was my first car and had been with me forever. Car shopping is fun once you narrow down what type of car you want. Good luck!

I'm sorry We got rid of my car earlier this year and I still miss it sometimes. The car we have is "DH's car" because he got it before we were married. It still doesn't really feel like mine.
