The transmission in my car died, and I can't afford to replace it, so now I have no car. This sucks crying

I was in a sort of similar situation about a month or so ago. Good luck.
I suggest you steal one.

Volvy So far this is the most helpful suggestion anyone has given me. And thanks. Steal a transmission, not a car, the sentence if you get caught is a lot less.

I was going to suggest the (more legal) alternative of going to your local salvage yard/pick-n-pull and seeing if you can get a cheap replacement. Depending on where you live, MY 94-97 Accords could be fairly common. This, of course, requires:
- Mechanical aptitude, or a close friend with it.
- Method of transporting the parts, or a close friend with it.
- SOME money, or a close friend with it.
So you can see how it's a less-than-perfect idea.

So you can see how it's a less-than-perfect idea. Yeah, currently I have relatively little money, no transportation, and no mechanical aptitude... so there might be some trouble there. I left the car at my parents' house for now, not sure what I'm going to do about this situation yet.

I left the car at my parents' house for now, not sure what I'm going to do about this situation yet. Getting to school is no biggie, it's only about a 15-20 minute walk. Only major problem is that grocery shopping will be a pain in the a**, given the locations of the grocery stores in town, and the lack of decent public transport to that end of town. But I just got a ride today and stocked up with enough canned goods to last me probably the whole winter, so I'm going to stay a pedestrian for a while. When spring rolls around and I actually start having places I want to go, THEN I'll deal with the car situation. I don't strictly speaking need my car right now, I'm mostly just whining because it's annoying when something major dies on you.

The grocery store I work for, Stop&Shop, also has that internet shopping thing.
