@Totalanimefan: oh wow that sounds frustrating. Speaking of frustrating, i've talked to 3 different people about 4 cars today and 3 didn't work out. The last one i'm actually going to go take a look at in the morning. I'm really hoping it works out and i like it enough to buy it. It's not super high in miles, which is nice, but it's a little older and has lower mpg, which i'm okay with, but not too excited about. If the car runs well enough i'll be happy enough to buy it anyway though lol

@macsen191: @Totalanimefan: I GOT IT!!! it's a 2007 town and country. and i am so happy to have a vehicle again. Only issue is the check engine light came on when i was on my way home from the DMV. The oil light also came on at the same time so i'm hoping that that's all it is. I went to walmart and picked up a quart of oil so i'm hoping that will help fix the issue, as well as a proper oil change, but we will see. I'm going to put the oil in here in like 20 minutes (it was too hot to open the cap when i was at walmart so i went home to let the van cool down a bit in the shade), and in the morning i will be going to like autozone and have them check the code for me on the engine light. I did get the van for $500 cheaper than it was listed, at least. It was neat, i said "so you were asking for 2,500, would you take 2000?" and they said "yeah, definitely!" lol I also found out while signing up for insurance (that my mom paid for the 6 month period to my surprise) that my license was suspended because i forgot to turn in my plates when i got rid of my old car in february. Oh well, got that taken care of when i got the van registered. So now it's legal to drive and legal for me to drive lol

So the guy i bought the car from changed the oil this morning and i went to an auto parts store to have them read the code, which turns out is a catalytic converter issue. I'm hoping it's an easy fix and i can just get a bottle of catalytic converter cleaner and run that through and have it fix the issue. I'm thinking/hoping that it's just a bit dirty on the inside and that's what the issue is. We don't have money right now to try the other fixes, so we will have to wait, but it should be okay to drive the van in the mean time. If anything, we will just have to keep an eye on how it preforms while we save money

@alorrena: That's great you got the van! Here's hoping it is just an easy fix. Our 2015 Town and Country that we've had since 2017 is still going strong. Only thing wrong with it is the left side van door won't open, were hoping it is just a fuse... my cousin is supposed to look at it, but he's been busy working, and they just bought a house so he's doing upkeep on that too...(it needed a few repairs and they are going to make the duplex upper into a whole house again.... so a fair amount of work) plus he works on cars all day, last thing he wants to do in his time off is work on more cars, lol.

@macsen191: That's fair. Personally, i would check the fuses myself because that's usually pretty straightforward and fairly easy. I'm also impatient and don't like waiting for someone to come do something i can probably check on my own haha.

@star2000shadow: My day went well ( now it's almost over). Hubs and i went and got sushi, which was nice, and he rode in the van for the first time, which was interesting. He realized the window control panel juts into his knee when he's up front, so he sat in back on the way home. It does it to me too, but i don't mind, i can adjust my leg so it doesn't hit it so much.

@star2000shadow: I slept a lot today, like 11 hours! I was surprised my husband let me sleep that long actually!

@ruby: I totally understand life being stressful. It's been quite a year for me too, actually. I just got a vehicle, finally (my old car died in february) and i'm supper happy about it. like there's one thing that need fixed on it, but i think i can wait a little bit to fix it. Especially because worst case scenario the repair would cost about $3000-4000! We're going to try the cheaper fixes first though, so hopefully all it ends up costing is like $20 and a tank of gas, which is like $60 to fill it from E, which i'm not TOO excited about, but it's not as bad as it could be. I'm hoping gas prices go down a little soon and don't keep going up.

@Totalanimefan: We haven't really gone out much since sunday so we haven't gotten the stuff for the catalytic converter yet. But it was able to go from Deltona to Daytona and back on sunday and then to wendy's and back this morning without any issues. We Kinda need to wait another 2 weeks before we can really get the stuff because as of right now we're pretty broke cause i just paid rent for october. It's decent on mpg, and it doesn't have any other issues right now so i'm quite happy with it.

@Ruby: Me too, it's so nice to have the option to leave the house whenever i want now.
Yeah, it is. Like..everything is so expensive now. It's honestly kind of exhausting.

@star2000shadow: Honestly, i think he just lost track of time. He does that a lot when he's talking with his friends, and our gf was at work so he wasn't really paying attention lol
I understand missing your sister. My younger sisters live in Wisconsin and it's so difficult to be able to afford to go visit, even without having to worry about food or a place to stay (i could stay with the youngest, or my dad, and i'm pretty sure if they didn't have space my cousins would put me up). Like right now, if i were to go for a week it would be about 150 for a round trip flight, but i'd still have to save up for that and that's a little out of the question right now, especially if i have to replace something on my van (it's always something that needs paid for!). It's so difficult being away from sisters and family members who are far away (i live that truth; my physically closest relative (not counting inlaws) is a cousin on my dad's side that i met once when i got married. She's cool though and lives about 4 hours away in Miami). If i remember correctly you were fairly close to Wanda, so that makes it even more difficult to deal with. Do you talk with her often? I know when i'm missing my youngest sister a lot i call her frequently and it helps a little.
