Y'all. My family is a fucking blessing.
#my dad went out of his way to pick up a 'cheap' headlight assembly for me#and I doubt he'll let me pay for it when I limp my car down to him#(this wind adding pressure to the front of my car on my commute home is ROUGH)#(I just cannot take it higher speeds until I get the front end bolted up better)#my brother is pulling together the transmission cooler lines and tool needed to change them out#and will help me get that all put back together#I had to go out to my car during break today and it was just a ... puddle around my car#like the snow is melting; the ground is wet - made it look worse than it is#but I'm not going to be able to keep it going this way for long#called a trusted local garage and was quoted 500 for the lines and labor and I just ... can't ... do that...#my usual mechanic lost his house and garage in a divorce#but my brother is certain he can do the transmission lines#I still need a front end alignment too but that's been a long standing problem#from last year when my suspension completely went out and I did the tie rod myself#I'm just eating through the brand new before-suspension-problems tires and ultimately an alignment is cheaper (and safer)#it's an older car and it's been through a collision now#this really is all peanuts in the grand scheme of things#it's a trustworthy as fuck kind of car#I'm just super broke and it's getting worse every year as inflation gets worse and I get no raises#the car is worth it#I've just been putting it through hell
