I did too, but mentally.  It stands out in my head because I'm not much of crier...but I was there picking up stuff to make a memorial board for my father's funeral.  Not to make you feel bad and this whole thread awkward but you just reminded me of it happening.  Thanks 😐 

 

Also I don't have a car😶

So like what is wrong with your car?

We actually figured it out. There was something with the transmission that was slipping out of place. Like a small piece. Easy fix. Should be done by tomorrow.

I mean if I can't i'm just fucked lol no biggie I've been without a car several times

If it's a shifter cable that has broken off or stretched, you can zip tie the shit to at least get a drivable gear to get it home or to a shop... saves you a tow bill.

I already did. Atm it's driveable, but it could easily fuck up so I'm not gonna drive it until its 100% fixed

Find a forward gear, don't touch the shifter once you do, hope it's at least in 2nd or better, don't let the engine continuously rev over 3500 RPM, don't take highways, "limp" it home.

I have been through shit 1000 times worse. I drove a Mustang 220 miles from NYC to Boston without a working clutch because the cable snapped. What you're dealing with is pennies. It might seem like a big deal to you but if you're certain it;s a shifter cable and you just can't "shift into a gear like normal", that's a very minor issue. At worst you can flip the arm on the side or top of the transmission to get it into Drive... but you'll need a friend to help AKA hold down the brake pedal.
