Well, we made it home. This is the important thing. However, the car has suffered some sort of Major Transmission issues. She got us home, so the trans didn't flat out die but she won't go into any other gear than third right now. The stick itself is floppy in some directions and refuses to move at all in others. Louis says that the fact the car is still driving is a Good Sign.
If we're lucky, it's 'just' a loose cable or something like that on the stick itself. Otherwise, this will be a repair that we can't do by ourself, cost-wise. What's far more likely, considering other things, is that we've got broken or jammed gear teeth. -sighs-
So, if we're actually lucky, Louis' dad's extra car will only have a dead battery so we can borrow that. Or we will suddenly come into lots of extra money.
