Run of bad luck
A lot of good things have happened to me this semester, so much so that I think all the bad luck I’ve been missing is catching up to me. As I was leaving my company Christmas party the other night with Denicia, my truck didn’t seem to be running right. As we were sitting at a stop light it felt like the truck was lurching back and forth instead of just idling. As I accelerated to get onto the highway it felt like the transmission was slipping because the RPMs would go up, but I was going any faster. I nursed the truck all the way home in 2nd gear and the check engine light came on as soon as I pulled in the driveway. I tried driving it around the block yesterday but it was just more of the same. Tomorrow is the first chance I’ll have to take it to a shop, so I’m getting up at 7:30 to get it in before work. I’m crossing my fingers hoping that this isn’t going to be a $3,000+ transmission rebuild ![]()
By the way, Thank You Denicia for letting me borrow your car for the past two days!
