What do you think killed my Accord?
 
I was finally able to see some new clients and was miraculously able to see them the same trip as my other clients in that town.

That agency pays better, too, so it was like 3.33 hours with my first master.

I was 10 miles from home and I started losing power. My dash looked fine and I couldn't pull up any pending codes with Torque, but then I couldn't connect to the ECU, so maybe that was the problem--or at least a symptom.

At first I thought that I could limp home, but I wasn't even able to park straight, although the engine was still running, and didn't sound too bad.

So, the transmission went out?

Well, I couldn't rev over 1,500 RPM, so that sounds like an engine problem, but I don't have any idea!

I popped the hood and nothing looked worse than before.

I feel like I won't be replacing the hood insulation.

Mom got me and USAA is supposed to tow my car. I was supposed to have a teleclient, but I didn't have data to reach out to the mom.

It appears she exclusively communicates through e-mail.

They didn't attempt to connect to Zoom and the mom didn't respond when I reached out 20 minutes ago, which is the third session in a row, unlocking Probation.

Well, I am going to see if there are any Camries for sale in the Phoenix area--and rentals up here.

What was the definition of doing something over and over expecting a different result?

I have found that the vehicle that brings other people the most joy is a Beige Beetle. Here's one for $14K in Tuscon right now.

That as much as a new FUV. The chrome yellow $1K 1974 Superbeetle in Lake Have-a-sue City is or should be gone

No, I don't expect interacting with you to ever be pleasant.

It took 5 hours for the tow truck to transport my car 5 minutes. He said that he didn't know why my car died, but suggested the transmission leak was a rear main seal.

Don't take automotive advice from tow truck drivers.

Rear main seal leaks release oil.

So, I guess that I call the shop the first thing in the morning and ensure he has my information.

No mood for a joke then.

Won't go over 1500 RPM, transmission leak. In limp mode from automatic transmission problem?

.

Funny: Julian Edgar said pretty much that about Aerohead.

There is a main seal on a trans, typically where the axles/driveshaft leave the case and they puke when they leak, not just dribble, because they are typically pressurized. Bet you didnt check the tranny fluid level.

Crazy J's phone is cellular. I sent a text at 8 and called at 9, but he didn't answer, and his voice mail is full. Mom kept yelling at me to hurry to his shop before he had my car towed away.
I called again before digging her car out of the snow.
He said that he will look at it and look for the transmission leak before five.
