Goodbye car

Perhaps it should be titled goodbye SUV but I refer to all vehicles as cars!
This past week I have been working like a mad lady.  In fact, I got up Saturday morning early to go to work.  I had a major deadline Monday and I needed to work on Saturday to meet it.
En route to work, Hubby's 1999 Tahoe would not shift gears beyond 2nd gear.  I took it to our repair shop.

Unfortunately, they confirmed on Monday what I felt on Saturday.  The car is a dunzo.  We could either sell it for pennies (actually slightly more than pennies but still no fun) or sink another $2000 into the vehicle.  We chose to sell it since our goal was to get LML a new or newer car this summer/fall due to work.

Not my car but close enough


We still want to wait another month or two for financial reasons.  Thus I am now a proud driver of a 1976 jeep with no AC or Heat.  It also lacks a working radio or a driver's side window that rolls down. No drive thrus for me ... This can be good for my diet.

The biggest concern is the busted gas gage.  I have warned all of my friends that I might one day be stranded.  I then proceeded to tell them if they see me stranded to not stop but instead hurry to the gas station and return to rescue me.
