I was going to work on Monday when it suddenly dropped into neutral. It took 20 minutes to get back into gear, and I bought some new tranny fluid and an additive, but it still hasn’t come back to normal. So now it has a bad tranny, bad power steering, and a bad head gasket. It would be cheaper to replace than to fix at this point.

I still have the Soul, but my girlfriend is going to need a car. She’s going to probably get my dad’s Spectra when he gets a new car. So it all works out, but I’m bummed.

I’d put in a motorcycle engine (or two!) if I had the resources, for sure.
