frustrated...

this darn transmission is getting the best of me! i can't help but steam when i think about how much money we're dropping into the van right now! on top of replacing the transmission, there's a filter kit that had to be put in first & the labor for that, plus they found a "pin-hole leak" in our water hose, so that had to be replaced (plus more labor)....then they found out that the inners and outers need to be replaced (whatever the heck those are!).....of course everything took an hour or so longer than they had originally thought (labor, labor, labor).....how come every time we get a vehicle fixed, they find something else that no one knew was wrong.....and who are we to question them?.....i don't know jack about cars! but for real, these guys are legit - the guy that owns the place is good friends with my brother and no other repair places around here can beat their prices....but still!

soooooo, we're out about $1600 and i'm pissed! i know, i know, it has to be done....and it'll save us from larger/more expensive repairs in the future....but i think i'm allowed to be pissed for a lil while! i'll be cool in a minute....just needed to vent - thx for listening!
