Sounds like an insurance claim.

My car is a salvage title. It had been rebuilt after a previous owner had wrecked it and the insurance paid it off. I got it for $1500.00 about 4 years ago. It is a 97 pontiac grand am. It runs really good but I only keep liability insurance on it. That model of car sits really low to the ground and they have a aluminun oil pan so I was sure that was what had gotten punctured. The transmission fluid was really dirty and even Jon's friend who works on cars thought it was oil so I didnt feel so stupid for thinking that was what it was. We had a heavy storm last night which washed most of it off the parking lot thankfully. Unless Jon's Dad and brother can fix it in the parking lot it will have to be towed where ever they get it repaired at.

I was sure it was finished off. Transmission pan was actually good news lol.

Hey it may have been a blessing in disguise>>>sounds like the tran. fluid needed changing anyway, while your FIL is replacing the pan
have him replace the transmission fluid filter as well, that way you'll be starting out with new fluid, filter, gasket, and pan! Probably needed it really bad!

That is exactly what Jon said Cathy.
Our friend took us to pay bills this morning and I went by the store. Got a gerorgeous oregano plant and a sweet basil plant for the balcony. My others I started from seeds are just not growing well at there at all.

We were leaving this morning with a friend and one of my neighbors hollars at me and says your car had leaked out all of its oil. I said yeah I know. Its transmission fuid. I hit something and it punched my transmission fluid pan. He goes well I didnt want you to start it and leave with it like that. I thanked him. I told Jon that guy must think Im pretty visually impaired myself if he thought I would miss that pool of fluid lol. My car was sitting in a ugly pool of yuck.
We got another big storm today and I took a bottle of dishliquid and squirted it all around my car and on the parking lot. It really helped wash away more.
