It will most likely also need a new A/C control panel as the A/C and heat dont work properly, and now one of the LED's that lights up the board has gone off, and you can't really replace that very easily. My tranny hang up thing he seems to think is low fluid level, I've checked it and it's never been low, but I'm no mechanic, so we'll see. Those aholes want $180 for a tranny fluid change! what a ripoff! We'll see how it goes, hopefully I'll have my car to start school back next tuesday, but I seriously doubt it.

I also got a credit card account set up this afternoon, so I can start getting some stuff from online, and more importantly build up some credit

It took me the better part of 10 years to get my *** out of the hole I got myself into. Acutally it was eight years of being stupid and 2 years of paying off my stupidity. If you can't afford to buy it with cash, don't buy it. In other words if you have to charge it and you can't pay it in full whrn the bill comes you've paid too much. I bought a stereo to put in my 1996 Dodge truck from Best Buy. I financed it on their credit card. 3 years later the truck was gone and I was still paying on the freaking credit card. I didn't even ever buy anything else with that card. Anyway. I know you probably won't listen, and someday you'll realize I was right if you ever remember me saying this but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't carry a credit card balance. They will **** you every chance they can.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not a "credit" card, just a "cash" card.

I tell everyone I can how f'd you'll be if you start buying outside your credit. And the student loans, oh the student loans. Those are so screwed up its terrible. I want to pay of mine by the end of junior year. I think it's possible, it'll save me sooooo much money in the long term.
