Happy Monday, all! Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Hope you don't mind me going on a little rant! Well, my poor car is being towed right now from my driveway :( Coming home from school on Friday, the accelerator started acting weird. Going over the bridge and the highway, it was perfectly fine, then driving into town I noticed it started to 'buck up.' When I pressed on the gas, the car would pull back and move very slow. It was very freaky! I was at the Starbucks drive-through, and contemplated if I should park it in the lot. I thought maybe it might pass, but going home it still kept acting like that. I thought I wouldn't even make it to the driveway (or home at all!), but it got up the driveway very slowly! I told my dad about it and he took a look at it. He couldn't even put it in REVERSE on the driveway. The car starts, but no movement. So, it's shot. The tow truck just left...hopefully today they'll see what the problem is! It's just going to be a pain because now my mom has to drive me to school :( I feel bad!
Oh no! I hope you get some wheels up under you quick, whether it's that one fixed or another one you pick up.

Sounds like transmission, lovey. Spendy to replace, so let's hope it's something that can be fixed.

Thank you, skimom2! and Lepplady :) We are all hoping it is fixable! If it takes more than a couple of days, we will request for a loaner from Ford, since I commute to school.

Sorry I missed this post, lovey! I sure hope it's fixed soon. I'm sure your mom is happy to help you out. Car problems are the pits and I understand completely about how lousy it feels when you have to depend on others. I always feel bad about that too! I hope your day gets a whole lot better! ;DD

Thankful you made it home safe. Hope the fix will be quick and not too expensive. Positive vibes.

Good Monday!! Just stop by quickly, boyfriend is waiting, I'll go to his place overnight.
Hope all had a great weekend. I had, even if I worked. Was a very interesting Saturday at work, I'll let you know more about it
tomorrow. Still warm during the day, but it gets cold overnight, was just above zero when I cycled to work this morning.

Have a great week everyone and take care, be well and stay safe.

((((all in need or not))))

I hate car problems!! Hope it's something simple and cheap to fix!

Wish me luck today. I've had a tricky ear all weekend, painful, swollen on the inside and I'm not hearing out of it right. So I'm off to the doctor. I hope they can just flush it or something.
My ear has been acting up too the last couple of days. My right one, would be on your left if you were looking at me. Is that the same as yours, LL?
