Just 2 days ago, I was driving along in Raleigh, and thinking how nice my car is now that it's painted and has a new transmission. And I glanced down at my odometer and saw something that I'll never see again: 123456. Yep, my mileage was 123,456. Pretty cool, huh?
And then yesterday..... I'm coming back to work after going home for lunch, and my car starts revving and lurching, and not really working very well. I manage to make it back to my office (it's only a mile and a half from my house, after all) and then talk to Jeremy about it later that afternoon. When it comes time to head home for the day, the darn car won't really even go. Jeremy came and tried to drive it too, and we ended up just leaving it in my office parking lot overnight.
Aargh!! This is after just having spent $3500 fixing it up. Fortunately, we have a nice warranty on the transmission, but still... just a bit frustrating. So today it's getting towed to the transmission shop, and we'll be without a car again for a while. Lovely.

ugh - that's frustrating! i'm glad you didn't get stranded somewhere though. hopefully it will be good as new in no time.
