Boo to car woes. Our "other" car died entirely about a month ago, so we're playing the car-trading back and forth game until we can gather ourselves to see what it'd take to fix it--it's a transmission thing, and the car if 15 years old and has 200,000+ miles on it, so it may be more than we're willing/able to handle. This? Is a pain in the ass.
Yeah. I'd like to not have to replace mine till we've paid off SO's, which is a couple more years. To be fair, it has mostly been quite reliable and hasn't needed all that much major work (yet).
Transmission -- ugh. And at that age/number of miles, yeah, tough call!
These are the sorts of days when I really wish that we lived in a city with good public transit, AND both had jobs in said city reachable by said transit. Being carless in the US midwest is Not Fun.
I have always loved the time I spent in London, taking public transportation... it's never bothered me at all to not have a car there. Or in York, where I hardly ever even took the bus, but walked instead. *sighs* 65 miles to work is a bit far for either of those things!

This will be no consolation to you, but you make me appreciate being public transportation dependent and having a fully functional car right now.
