man this is some major self-pity

My jeep start skipping when I was driving home last night so I called my car guy and asked if I could drop it off today and have him check it out. He said yes so that was the plan.

When I tried to leave today, it started skipping so badly I couldn't go over 15 mph and when I tried to go up a hill was almost impossible. I made it back home and now here I am. I've started looking at cars but I can only afford a used car and even those require a kinda high down payment. Which I don't have.

I'm just so depressed right now. Last night I made a plan! I had a plan for dealing with this! But nope.

I just got off the phone with my car guy's wife and he might be able to come here and haul it, which would be nice. But we'll see.

Ooooh my god I hate feeling so helpless, haha.

Car troubles suck. I had an old 1991 jeep Cherokee for a long time--which I actually miss a lot, but it would have required a lot of money to keep it going, which I didn't have. It certainly spent its share of time at the mechanic, but I must say that it never failed on me when I was out somewhere. Whenever it died, it did it when I was home. Thank you little jeep!

But I hope your jeep gets healthy again soon!

Cars are the most frustrating things. :\

Oh, yikes, what a terrible spot to be in :( I'm so sorry you're having car trouble of this precise type. I know this feeling a little too well.
