Yep. He just went out there and picked it up....which is why he is stuck in traffic way out there with no gas

Why would he drive to Brownsburg if he didn't have enough gas or money to get home???

 

[RedneckReject]

What happened to having emergency cash in your sock and always keeping the gaz tank at least halfway full?

At least now he can call you to tell you he's stuck in traffic.

We're pretty low on cash until I get paid on Friday. Had a few unexpected expenses this week. I have a little bit I just forgot to give it to him

He thought he still had some cash in his wallet. I think I kinda took it....

 

[SEIndSAM]

You answered my question as I was asking, are we thinking the same things again???

What did he do for you to "forget"?

 

[RedneckReject]

That's not a predicament. That's an inconvenience. Still a PITA though.

Inconvenience is a pretty mild term when you're driving a POS and have to pile kids in it before you go

Just blame it on Westside. It's always Westsides fault, even when it isn't.

Honestly he really didn't do anything. I just got up super early for work today and ran out of the house before I remembered to leave it

No I'll take the blame for this one. My fault. Even though I would love to blame it on Westside, I don't think he's at fault....this time

Call it payback for forgetting Mother's Day

Are you in my brain again?

That's a good deal. It cost me that much to have the tranny rebuilt on my wifes minivan 5 years ago. (97 Dodge Grand caravan)

I know its a decent price. The Midas shop on South East Street across from Southern Plaza has always taken good care of us. It still a lot of friggen money that I'd much rather spend on something else though!

Oooooh. That's bad. I got my wife something for Mothers Day, and we don't even have any kids together.

Yeah, but like you said, it's cheaper than replacing it. I faced the same thing 5 years ago with the wife's van and I'm glad I spent the money, it's still ticking on.

It's ok. I'm waiting for him to realize he forgot. Then he will kiss my butt for DAYS!

Now I'm thinking about dinner.

Over the last few years I have dumped a lot of money into my little POS. Ok well not a TON but at least a few grand. She's still running just fine. And it's nice to not have a car payment. It sucks when you have to spend a ton of money on your car but sometimes it's the only option.

 

[RedneckReject]

Now I'm thinking about dinner.

Me too but I wanna wait and see what time the man will be home. We haven't had dinner together in over a week

Its getting the transmission replaced with a good used one. Its also getting new wheel hubs and bearings, new tie rod ends, alignment, tire rotation and some minor exhaust work. Its gonna cost me about $2200 but at least I get a 6 month parts and labor warranty on everything including the used transmission. I couldn't come close to replacing that vehicle for that kind of money so fixing it seems to be the best option.

That is an excellent deal.
