Broken car!

So, for the last while Tim has been using his Grandpa's car to drive to work and back.  Last week it started acting weird like the transmission was going out.  We thought maybe it was just a fuel filter and that the transmission fluid needed to be changed.  Tim took it over to my dad where they worked on that and fixed that but yet the car still wasn't acting right!  So Tim took it in to Tanner Transmissions, where they determined that it definitely needed a new transmission.  So we spent about $120 on changing all the oils and everything so that we could now just let the car sit. 

A new transmission is just not something we can afford right now, and weren't really planning on spending that money. So my poor husband has to ride UTA now.  I feel bad b/c this takes a lot of time out of time that he could be using to study where he waits for the bus.  I guess the plus side to it is that once he is on the bus he can study.   Another sad thing is how he has to stand out in the cold forever waiting and waiting! 

I feel like I am being selfish since I always get the car.  Maybe I should be the one riding the bus. It is just that he gets a pass much cheaper than I could ever get one since he is still in school.  So end of Story. Timmy gets to ride the bus, freeze, and wait for long periods of time,  while I get to drive in my nice warm car.

Turns out though we might be getting the Scooter from his parents house to borrow until Brendon his brother gets home from his mission.  That would be nice, still postives and negatives with that ... the positives being no more waiting in the cold forever, get places faster.  But sadly he is still going to freeze... I am going to have to bundle him up like the little boy in the "Christmas Story"
