Bought a lemon


Hubby bought a car yesterday, and I was so happy! One less thing to worry about. 2002 Honda Civic, black, 2 door, with minor hail damage. It's high on miles, but a good deal. Turns out that it needs a new transmission. And, he signed an "As Is" paper. It's at a garage right now, and they are checking it for any tampering. If there is, we are so gonna sue. If not, then we have to suck it up and put in a new transmission, fast. Ken drives to Washington, D.C. next Wednesday. And, he is not taking my car. ;) The dealer that sold it to us said to find out the estimate for replacing the transmission, and he would help find a place that will do it for cheaper. He knows people that can help. We'll see. I need to look up ways to cover-up a bad transmission. A co-worker mentioned something about a banana, that if you put one in the transmission, it will make the it run smoother for a short period of time. Where would you stick the banana? Oh well, I'll search and see what I come up with. All of this to do and a paper to write. Yipee!
