and I can hardly walk on my knee.

I tend to use my feet for that particular activity.

Well, the freaks the cats out less if you chase them on their level ^_~

Wasn't it working the other day? How bad could it have gotten?

Apparently the radiator is cracked, I need both catalytic converters replaced, the motor mount is broken, the transmission is leaking and going and it looks like I need a ring job as well. Also the power brakes are going. There are other leaks as well. The main belt needs replacing. And the heater core has been broken for years, too. The odds of it passing smog without at least 500 dollars of work is low.

Eeep.

At this point, I'm not even sure I can finish this semester. It assumes a lack of cops and nothing falling off and the brakes not allowing me to slam into anyone.

Sorry to hear it. Can you fix the minimum and kind of put off complete auto shutdown for a while? Or is it utterly hopeless?

The brakes are 99% fine, it's that 1% that bothers me. The main problem is that the catalytic converters are shot and there's a crack in the radiator and one of the cylinders is losing compression. The crack makes it semi-drivable when it's not for long periods, but the ring job and catalytic crap need to be done to pass smog NEXT MONTH or it's bye-bye legal registration. I'll be giving the big eyes to my dad soon, but it's going to be at LEAST 400 to even keep it legal, much less safe.

Just remember sweeite, you can always bum rides from me to school. I don't mind and its close by. Might be able to work out a car share too. Don't drop teh semester, we can get ya through it. =)
