well... like I said I can't get my new car until early next week. buuuut i'm kinda tweaking out being stuck with the old one.

I ended up skipping my internship today so that I wouldn't have to drive, however, I did have to drive a little bit to my waitressing job. I ended up driving from my house to the T station which is about 2 miles away. On the way there the flashing arrow indicating another automatic gearbox fault came back on and my car started driving so weeeird!!

then on my way home, I turned on my car and it wouldn't reverse. I shut if off and restarted it and was able to get it to go into reverse! thank god. I'm just freaking out because I need these people to still give me my money for my trade when I bring the car in and now there is a light on. What can I do.. will they still accept it?

Basically my fear is that I have to drive it to the dealer about half an hour away either next tuesday or wed to pick up my car, and it seems to be getting worse and worse each time I drive it. Will I be safe to get there.. how long can you drive on a crappy transmission. I'm basically beyond nervous about getting there next week and thats ruining my exciting "I got a new car feeling!"

Any help, ideas or encouragement would be appreciated!
